Flipping the Classroom

In my Graphic design courses, I use the same techniques. I think that using a balance of in in classroom time and promoting videos outside of the coursework really helps students to go beyond the curriculum. In my experience, it helps students to understand the topic at hand as well as promote asking questions during lectures an lab times. Our lectures are recorded online, so it reaches the whole roster of students and could lead to other videos that may pertain to the topic at hand. Great Ideas!

Flipped classroom is inverting the traditional method of teaching into a new model wherein teachers teach through videos shared online and students come prepared to the classroom to answer the questions & clear their doubts . It is a technique which converts studying outside of class and doing the homework in the classroom.

Two Points Learning:-

1) The student learning a concept and getting their head around that concept.

2) Viewing various contexts where those concepts can interact with the world with interesting results.

Implementing the flipped classroom model has been challenging, but I can already see the payoff for my students. I have recorded podcasts with mini-lectures, uploaded short videos, and used Zaption (I don't know what it is called now.). I am amazed how much time it has freed up in class. For me, I find it works best to have a short Entrance Ticket to be sure they have viewed the material. I sent out a Google Form to get some feedback from the students. They wanted to know why more teachers weren't doing "homework" like this.

Here is a great video on the rationale for using the flipped classroom model.
