Flipped Learning.

Flipped Learning is a new method for teaching, approaching a more student interactive learning. The premise is simple, instead of receiving lectures during class, the students watch a video of the class that was already recorded by the teacher. In that video, the teacher gives his or her lecture, and students must watch it in order to understand what’s happening in their course.

This method is efficient because students can watch the video over and over again, and they have more time during class to work on their projects or ask the teacher questions. This system obviously fails when the student doesn’t watch the video, but that’s just his or her problem.

In my bachillerato, Harkness Institute, we used to have a similar method, we had to search information and data abot our courses and we had to discuss it, between the students. The teacher were only mediators and listened to what we have to say. But this method is different, since the only source we have is the teacher, is was indeed risky to find our information in random internet pages.

Here’s a playlist of videos explaining what is flipped classroo, its pros and its cons.
