--Originally published at Trevis' Flipped Classroom<\/a><\/em><\/p>\nI consider myself a good explainer: if given enough time, I think I am capable of explaining anything to anyone. But, the thing is that I am usually not explaining just anything to anyone, I am teaching engineering students, and usually there isn't enough time. I read about the Flipped Classroom technique (FC in what follows) I thought it might help me improve my teaching. I have a couple of thoughts about FC, and a couple of hopes on this course, so I thought it would be fine to make a list.<\/span>

  1. Thought: I teach in English, so I guess it is a good idea to have this material in English. Although I am not a native speaker, and sometimes do hilarious mistakes, I do a good job in general.<\/span><\/li>
  2. Thought: FC is not something new, probably my dad had this applied in high school. However, I know very little detail and I want to learn.<\/span><\/li>
  3. Thought: I have read that FC can be a very powerful tool to keep people alive in classroom, and maybe most importantly, to place the spotlight on the students, rather than on me. After all I guess I should be more of a coach.<\/span><\/li>
  4. Hope: This course will help me learn an alternative to what I have been doing in the classroom for years.<\/span><\/li>
  5. Hope: They will forget me, but not the material covered: after all they are the ones starring the film.<\/span><\/li><\/ol> Well, I guess that says it all. I include a video here<\/a> which includes these same ideas. <\/span>
    I hope to read from you soon.<\/span>
