HOW TO IMPLEMENT A FLIPPED CLASSROOM?
- Plan: Firstly, the lesson in particular to be flipped is figured out. The key learning outcomes and a lesson plan is outlined.
- Record: I
Make a video instead of teaching this lesson in-person. A screencast definitely works. Make sure it contains all the key elements you’d mention in the classroom.
- Share: Send the video to your students. Make it engaging and clear. Explain that the video’s content will be fully discussed in class.
- Change: Now that your students have viewed your lesson, they’re prepared to actually go more in-depth than ever before.
- Group: An effective way to discuss the topic is to separate into groups where students are given a task to perform. Write a poem, a play, make a video, etc.
- Regroup: Get the class back together to share the individual group’s work with everyone. Ask questions, dive deeper than ever before.
