Thank you cpagane1 for your argument and agree with your points. However, I am hesitant to jump on the bandwagon because there are already over 100 tools out there that address each of the points you've mentioned and more--Google Classroom, Kidblog, Wikis, Weebly, Kahoot, Bloomz, Edmodo, etc. In addition to this, how can you confirm that all students are accessing the content at home? Do they have a device to use at home? What if parents are uninvolved? How will you make sure the work is done, so the child is ready to enter the classroom for further instruction and differentiation?
I see the perks of a flipped classroom and appreciate how its approach has altered based on feedback from teachers (ex: Instead of teaching the whole group lesson at home on a device, it can be done as a center in the classroom). With this said, I do not see flipped learning taking off successfully at this time. Currently, at our schools (at least for me), teachers are overwhelmed with trying to integrate the new tools encouraged by the administration, staff members, etc. With very little training on even these, trying to change instruction to flipped learning may through some teachers in a loop. Teachers are already taking time to adapt and change their past lessons to align more so with the new technologies and tools surfacing into their classroom. Having to create or take additional time to find video tutorials for students to access at home, could cause veteran teachers to retire and first-year teachers to change their professions! I do see flipped learning in our future, but I think the most important aspect of technology integration is making sure all teachers have a clear understanding of the purpose of technology--it is tool for faciliation, not the instruction.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
