In the article, the author discusses the growing trend and benefits of the "Flipped Classroom" model, which initially gained traction through educational platforms like Khan Academy. I find the approach compelling because it allows students to engage with lecture material on their own time through video, freeing up classroom time for interactive, hands-on activities. This resonates with my own educational philosophy, as I aim to incorporate more activity-based learning into my teaching approach, much like the author.

This looks like an interesting topic. I will research to see if this is similar to lumosity...the brain exercise website.

The four pillars of success article gives me four strong pillars to find success in the classroom. I enjoyed reading about them and find a lot of value can be added to the classroom if we focus on having flexible environments, be okay with a culture shift, intentional content, and are focused on being a professional educator. These are vital to have success in the classroom as well as prepare students for their future endeavors. Challenges mentioned in this article is that the model could standardize instruction and lead to a reduced role of teachers. Seeing this article was 2013, I do believe teachers roles have changed in the last 10 years ago into more of a facilitator role and we are more focused on making student-centered learning. I do find that using this approach makes it easier to engage students during the instructional period.

Ricordiamoci sempre che il Webinar nasce ANCHE e soprattutto per collaborare! Se non c'è interazione, allora tanto vale creare un videotutorial, no?

The article provided me with a step-by-step guide on using the TED Ed website to create a flipped classroom experience. The process involves selecting a YouTube video, customizing it with questions and discussions, and then sharing it with students. I think this can monitor student engagement and performance through analytics provided in their TED Ed account. |

I find this article interesting in that we should not allow students to just do drills and kill them of boredom doing it. We need to teach them to use their imagination. We need to teach them how to build the proper skills, and the proper mindset. The challenges arise from students who have resistance to a new approach to learning, and lack of training for teachers. Our traditional models of learning need significant changes and thus can make a new classroom setting seem strange.

The Flipped Classroom concept is still a relevant tool for educators and students. There are teachers who still struggle with creating quality flipped classroom videos. This is a good resource and starter kit article.

This video was a great tool on how to make more effective videos to help students learn more effectively. Keith mentioned we should create online content so students can use it outside of class. This content can be lectures, videos, interactive activities, and practice problems. To follow creating content, teachers must also have a plan for how the students will use this content and how they will be assessed on their learning. Flipped classrooms can be a successful approach for many students, but it is important to plan carefully and implement it in order to be effective.

Looks like a great app, for free and keeps track of kids work. Seems to be for ipad 2,3,4 and not ipad so I might not be able to check it out for a while.
