David Truss :: Pair-a-dimes for Your Thoughts » 3 keys to a flipped classroom | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it
  If you are planning to use the 'flipped classroom', then you might want to think about a few key ideas. Background: On Connected Principals ...

Jose Barrera's curator insight, September 10, 2023 7:12 PM

The article presents a balanced view on the 'flipped classroom' approach, emphasizing that while it can be a useful strategy, it should not be the sole method in a teacher's arsenal. It highlights three key areas of consideration: Homework, Lesson Quality, and Production Quality.

 The article argues that the flipped model has challenges, particularly in ensuring student engagement with the material and achieving a balance between depth and breadth of content. It also underscores the importance of thoughtful planning, such as deciding what aspects of a subject are best covered at home versus in class and maintaining a high production quality for the content to keep students engaged.

Overall, I believe it comes to the conclusion that educators should be thoughtful in their implementation of this method, ensuring it meets the diverse learning needs of their students.
