Module 6: A Flipped Classroom


            This video begins by discussing how this teacher was spending time teaching to the middle group of the class. This is so ironic in that we were just discussing this issue in my current math course that I am taking. Often time’s we are only reaching the middle group of learners and boring the high learners as well as the low learners.  The material was not challenging the higher-level students and the lower leveled students needed more help in order to be more successful. I found it interesting that 90% of the teaching time was used in front of the classroom where students were not applying themselves in the application of math problems. I love the idea of allowing students to be introduced a lesson beforehand, but I think it may be rather difficult to complete with the lower level grades. I didn’t know if this were to be completed at home or maybe the day before a lesson was introduced in the class. I do however love the idea that the teacher is able to work around the classroom with different groups and students are able to work at their own pace.
