I believe the best way to implement UDL into the Flipped classroom would be to practice the following:

I will use multiple means of representation to give students various ways of acquiring information by allowing them to use all devices during at home or in school activity to send receive and create materials.

I will us multiple means of expression to provide students alternatives for demonstrating what they know by allowing the use of other languages and coding to be translated into classroom and home materials.

I will use multiple means of engagement to tap into students’ interests, challenge and motivate them by allowing live chat collaboration, emails, and texting during group assignments and projects.

I would agree that it is very easy to believe that since we all have access to so many different types of tools that we can just facilitate learning anywhere anytime. This is true to a point however, I will dispute a very important fact. There is a type of learning that occurs when something is taught to you by another human being in a social learning setting that does not occur online or while watching a video. There is something that happens during the act of human interaction in a physical sense that does not happen otherwise. An example of this will be in sports or agriculture where as I can watch a thousand videos from the comfort of my own home on fishing but nothing is going to prepare me for standing in that cold water early in the morning and gutting a fish but the actual experience. There is something about the social interaction of humans that takes learning to another level. You get some of this online but the emotions of love, friendship, comradeship, pain, turmoil and pressure when felt in the presence of other humans can not be substituted by a video screen.

I took a singing lesson from a soprano and nothing could prepare me for hearing that sound coming out of her body while she was sitting right in front of me. I could feel the sound come out of her body. You can't experience all of the senses the same way in regards a human lecture vs online lecture. However, this theory of mine is based entirely on the material being taught. I remember watching the Challenger explode during take off in elementary school with my classmates and NOTHING could replace the feeling we all felt together at that moment in that class. We can't forget all else that occurs during human interaction that facilitates learning.

Luckin I was actually going to support Flipped learning until you made this comment. It seems as if the schools are basically attempting to execute on line learning and homeschooling while selling you idea that you are attending school. When I first started college my in school math class was completely in front of a computer and the first thing I asked myself was why am I here, when I can do this at home.

However, I will say the basic definition of a flipped classroom is a great idea because the students can get all of the lectures and instruction at home and when showing up to school can use that time as if you would use a private tutor for extra help. My math example being that I would probably spend all of my in school hours in the tutoring hall. I am a 100% on line student and I am pro online and I feel as though the only reason I should attend classes physically is to obtain something that I can not obtain online or for amenities that I don't have at home such as advanced technology; the library;gym; tutoring; etc.
