The Flipped Classroom - Introductory Videos
Some technologies are very helpful in allowing us to do familiar things much better. PowerPoint, compared with white chalk on the blackboard, is a superior visual experience. But some technologies or IT ideas have the power to transform learning - allowing us to do things that would be impossible otherwise.
The Flipped Classroom is an excellent example of how to use eResources to transform the learning experience of your students. The basic idea is that direct instruction does not require the teacher to be present with students, but interaction does. Students may learn better when they receive direct instruction from a video or other eResources outside of the classroom, followed by interaction with their teacher and classmates afterward. The interaction period allows students to practice, get guidance and receive focused feedback on their learning. This arrangement "flips" the traditional approach of giving students direct instruction in the classroom and expecting them to practice what they've learned (without the teacher's help) for homework.
These videos provide a good overview of some of the major concepts and issues in organizing a Flipped Classroom. While watching them, think about how you could design some flipped lessons of your own for students learning English.
