Flipped Classroom

Flipped Classroom


The approach of "Flipped Classroom" fits to its name. It turns the concept of teaching upside-down. I knew that "flip" was a term used to show a change either horizontally or vertically but I had never heard before about it. Like most of my friends, when our teacher told us that we were going to be part of an online class we were a little bit unprepared. Initially we thought to log in from "Brothers" PC's but then decided to omit that idea altogether since they are not the cheapest place around. To cut things short 305 was our final choice. The poor internet signal of "ED" let me down so I was obliged to rely on my tethering hotspot being helped by Marina's charger. We all saw what "Flipped Classroom" was so that would do as the best definition drawn from real-life experience.

Being provided with devices and services such as a laptop and a good internet connection the advantages of FC approach are numerous. In a way students are used to accessing information online and nowadays fortunately or unfortunately it has become the main source of information and telling them not to use it, is like flogging a dead horse. Students can access content at any time and they can go to and fro, something that while in traditional class in not possible. However we must provide a list of trusted sites. Also things are more practical, so more doing and less talking.

On the other hand some students might struggle with the internet connection (scientifically proven). In cases when the students have to see a video it might be difficult to understand and this might led to the wrong interpretation of it. Let's be honest: we all relied on the comments of that YT video we saw in order to come up with an interpretation of it. Also we were rushing against the time to meet those 10 minutes "deadlines". Anyway all these are not as important as the question to come: Can a good student featuring Google + Incognito + Mozilla be more than enough to cheat during Flipped Classroom???

    Yeah,actually the name of the approach explains quite well the approach's meaning.Actually,I logged in from Brothers' PC's.''Telling students not to use technology and get information online is like flogging a dead horse.''Congrats on using the idiom and I think the same as you do about it.I advise you not to overgeneralize things because not all of us relied on the comments of that YT video to come up with our own interpretations.Personally,I didn't even have a look at those comments.However,I do agree with you that we were all rushing against the time to meet those 10 minutes 'deadlines'.As for the question in the end,I think that if a student cheats,he is no longer a good student but just a cheater.Well done Kleo!

    I do agree with all the troubles we had the previous hour since it was the first time doing this and we had no idea how this strategy works. It was something new and interesting and as for your question I was wondering if you kleant, found out the answer of your own question

      Since one can log in with 5 gmail account from one PC I think that it might be possible.

      Just no! I am not against FC. I was just saying that it requires a lot of preparation. That's all.

    What a question have you possed at the end.
    Well, that is to be seen.However a good students is not always the ones who gets good marks, right?
    Cheating is a kind of value and moral thing,however the oppourtunities to cheat are considerably huge.
    There's a dilemma inhere.

10 Things to Check before Your Project Delivery.

Image
I am referring to those 20 minutes you will be in front of the class as "project delivery". The content is something that must be genuinely yours. I am going to give some advice on how to avoid technological hiccup. 1-Make sure your laptop works by checking it a couple of hours before coming to schools so you won't be surprised by any unexpected boot fail. 2-When using someone's else laptop make sure that all the keyboards work in case you want to play any game online. 3-Turn off the antivirus so it won't delete your file from a possibly infected USB. A laptop format service costs only 1000ALL. And NO! You won't lose any of your data. Data is saved at "windows.old". 4-Always check if your laptop has a HDMI port. If not you have to find an adapter. 5-Check if the videos are shown on projector or not. Press FN+F5 from keyboard and this will make the projector act as the primary screen. 6-Make sure to rehearse everything that you have prepared....

Interactive PPT and Teaching Experience

Image
Do you know that moment when things  get out of control? I can say that this thing has happened with the PowerPoint presentations nowadays. People just overuse it. Nearly all lectures are delivered through PPT presentations and it is becoming more and more difficult to find something genuine. The opportunities PowerPoint used to offer are running dry. Let's say we were surprised seeing a video as part of a ppt presentation but now it has become commonplace.  If one wants to make it as interesting as possible he/she needs a lot of creativity and play with animations, shapes and forms. We must also be extra careful for any technological hiccups.  However if we know the proper way to use it, PPT might result a huge success. It gives us a vast number of possibilities to shift off the traditional way of making a presentation. Using hyperlinks makes your PPT look like a decent web page. With a single click one can switch from the ppt presentation to the desired link...
