The Flipped Classroom - Let's flip it!

This week’s resources focused on the flipped classroom.  Although there is still controversy over the use of a flipped classroom, I thoroughly agree with the use of the flipped classroom. The flipped classroom has the power to increase a student’s comprehension level. This is an invaluable tool that is far too often dismissed. The flipped classroom not only has the potential to assist non-disabled students to comprehend information better but it would greatly assist in creating an even playing field for those students who struggle with learning disabilities. You see, in using the flipped classroom you are allowing students the opportunity to go back and review information as many times as needed. For example, the use of the flipped classroom would work perfectly in a math class. Students would not only have a have a concrete example of the math concept they are currently working on but the ability to refer back to that concept when they do not understand the content being taught in class. Making the transition to a flipped classroom should not be taken lightly and as this week’s resources stated that the flipped classroom is not the answer to all classes. However, I do believe all teachers should make an attempt in flipping sections of their class. It not only introduces students to different methods of instruction but can make learning fun.
