In my quest to learn more about "the flipped classroom", I have started to read Flip Your Classroom by Aaron Sams and Jonathan Bergmann. After each chapter, I will highlight key concepts and any other noteworthy ideas that will enhance my understanding of the idea, as well as how to implement it within my 4th grade classroom.
Chapter 1: Our Story: Creating The Flipped Classroom
- A flipped classroom allows students to have a more personalized education experience by watching content multiple times for clarity, staying caught up to curriculum due to absences, etc.
- The video students view is homework so that teachers can spend time the following day extending the learning and filling in any gaps that students may have.
- Initially, Jonathan and Aaron required their students to watch their videos every other night, as well as take notes during the viewing.
- The flipped-mastery model was incorporated into the flipped classroom where students worked at their own pace to master the material before moving on to the next concept/skill.
