Honestly, I don't really understand what "flipping the classroom" really entails. From previous knowledge, I believe that it incorporates the primary learning into an outside of the classroom environment. By this, I think that the majority of the teaching/learning takes place outside of the classroom and class meetings are then used to discuss the material students encountered.
Following the presentation on "Flipping the classroom", I have really come to realize how this setup could be beneficial to the students' learning. Between the video and then participating in the in-class activities, it has really become apparent that this type of teaching can be beneficial. I really like that the very dry information is primarily the student's responsibility. This allows for class time to be utilized to clarify any information, ask questions and to engage your students in activities that can be used to solidify the major concepts that the students need to know. With this methodology, the students will get the important information in more than one form, which can be very helpful to get a variety of students to learn.
All of my time with flipping the classroom setups has been successful so far, both as a student and as an instructor. If used carefully, I think that this methodology can continue to be successful.
