Mobile Devices and the Flipped Classroom Model « The Mobile Learner - 7 views
-
In the Flipped Classroom model, the sequence is flipped. Teachers record their lesson or lecture and post their recording online for students to access for homework. As the student works through a video in their own time and in their own space, they can pause to think about what the teacher discussed, to take notes, or can replay a section they did not understand. Also, as the instruction is recorded, students can go back anytime and replay video if they are I need of review. Then, class time is dedicated for students to practice their newly acquired skills with classmates and in the presence of their teacher who can observe their understanding or be available to answer questions or address difficulties. The idea here is to free the teacher to spend more time working directly with students.

Elisha Garcia on 28 Jul 12School has not always, and still does not, come very easy for me. I have a very hard time focusing in class and to sit and listen through a lecture for as long as I do is very exhausting. I feel as if I have to work twice as hard for my grades and this has always hindered my enthusiasm towards school. However, when I declared my major (PR) I was able to showcase my talents through online projects and open class discussions. We used technology and worked independently and come together to run through what we learned and had trouble on. This method works for students like myself and I am glad something like this is available.

Nicole Williams on 01 Aug 12Students should and need to start taking more control and pride in their education. There are too many teachers and schools out there where students are getting the "easy" work and the teachers are working the hardest. At the end of the school day, teachers should not be exhausted, if you are I feel that is a sign you did too much. The majority of the teachers work is in the planning, not in the actual implementing and instruction, for those the students should take control and lead it.

hillary gorgone on 02 Aug 12I love the flexibility of the recorded class. Sometimes, no matter how good your notes are, you still don't quite grasp a concept. It is amazing to be able to rewind class and replay it.

Bryan Poepperling on 04 Aug 12I like the idea of a Flipped Classroom, however, it has to be created and utilized correctly. For example, a teacher has to do a thorough job explaining the material so that there is no grey area in the lecture. Also the teacher should readily check email and make sure the students know they can ask questions and communicate if they have questions on the lecture.
-
Warren Faust on 04 Aug 12Actually, teachers will very rarely need to explain material except in the classroom often in just a one to one situation. There are too many sites like KhanAcademy.com that provide free access to already created learning materials in addition to all the pay sites that will pop up with instructional content developed by Instructional Designers.

Megan Smith on 07 Aug 12This would be useful to many types of learners. The student can go over the lecture as many times they need to in order to understand the content. This allows for a lot of flexibility.
-
Stephanie Williams on 07 Aug 12I think that this type of lecture could be especially useful for students who like to think things over before moving on to the next concept. Being able to pause the lecture allows for reflection time that is not always available in a regular classroom. Being able to replay parts of the lecture could also be very helpful, especially for students who might be afraid of missing things.

kaylafurmanchin on 08 Aug 12A flipped classroom could be very beneficial to some students. Students who need extra time understanding something in a traditional class could benefit from a flipped class because they can control what pace they learn at. I like the idea that the teacher is able to spend more time working directly with the students too, I think this will be very helpful for most students.

Carolyn Reitz on 08 Aug 12I like how this model allows for students to take their time and finish their work at their own pace. Students need more time in class to collaborate with their peers and allow teachers to spend more one-on-one time with their students, and then homework should be a time for them to reflect on the lesson and organize their thoughts on what they learned.
-
Bonnie Pietropaoli on 09 Aug 12I think this is a great and potentially very effective classroom plan. I feel that too much time is spent talking AT the students in a traditional classroom. Now, they will be able to apply the knowledge they have learned from the online lectures to the activities they participate in class. This is also very helpful for learning material, because if you didn't catch what the teacher said in the lecture the first time they said it, you can rewind them and play it over...which you obviously cannot do in a traditional classroom.

As a result, as educators continue to experiment with new and interesting ways to leverage technology to help their student learn, mobile devices continue to offer an effective platform for teachers and students allowing easy access to content, or in this case, access to lessons, that is available anytime and from anywhere.
-
Allowing the student to have access the lessons at anytime is very helpful. It isn't giving away the answers, the student still needs to absorb the content.
-
This is just another example of how mobile devices can facilitate technology integration into schools. They can help make access to content easier, and available anywhere. For students struggling in a regular class, the extra help and access to content outside of class on their phones could be valuable to their success in the class.
-
With allowing students to access lesson plans, teachers are providing another resource for students to gain knowledge and information. This extra resource could benefit all types of learners at any given time.
-
I think that allowing students to have east access to class materials at any time could change the way students look at education. The use of technology could make courses much more exciting for students, and having the ability to access the information whenever they want could potentially help motivate them.
-
The fact that students can access the lessons from anytime and from anywhere I think is extremely beneficial. This will help the students who feel rushed in a traditional classroom. They will be able to work when they need or want to and at their own pace.
-
Mobile devices are great tools to use in the classroom to help students learn. They can have access to content at their finger tips, and this can give them more opportunities to learn while on the go. It also provides an alternative delivery of content for students who are not the typical textbook learners.
-
There are so many times throughout the day that I have free time that I would like to spend on studying or learning more class material, but I don't have my book or notes with me. If I could access my course material and lectures on my mobile device, I would be able to use all of the wasted time to learn more information.

Using a technology students like and are familiar with not only motivates them to learn but also provides an easy way to learn while getting them interested and allowing them to personally connect better with the material.
