Flipped Learning!!!!

The students in this photo are participating in flipped learning while using their cell phones.

Flipped learning to my understanding is where the teacher pre records their lesson on a video or some sort of power point, and then the kids watch the video and learn the objectives of the lesson at home. When the students come in the next day they already know what is expected of them and they are able to ask specific questions that they may not understand.
 What is nifty or what is a positive about flipped learning is that the teacher does not have to use class time to teach the lesson, the teacher is able to use class time for helping the students and answering any questions and providing further explanation if need be. The only downside to this that I can see is that some kids may not have a computer at home or some students may not be able to watch the video that night and they will get to class lost, behind, and confused that would be a specific implication if I decided to use this method in my teaching future.

http://flippedlearning.org/ This website taught me that flipped learning can also be called FLN and FLN has some goals. The FLN goals are to provide professional learning opportunities on flipped learning and to act as a clearinghouse for distributing best and promising pracitces for current and future "flipped learning" educators.

http://ed.ted.com/ This website showed me that teachers can use this website as a tool to create their own flipped video. You can also watch other videos and base your video off of the other videos that have already been created or you can start your own new one.

http://flipped-learning.com/ In this website I clicked on the "Myth: Students Without Access to Technology Creates a Digital Divide" and one of the points it explained on why it does not create a digital divide and what you can do in order if you do not have a computer at home or a smart phone.

I really like this video because it features every aspect of flipped learning and describes the positives and negatives. Very helpful for someone like me who until this knew nothing about flipped learning.

I like this video because it shows the students learning and shows exactly what happens. But the reason why I really like this video is because the guy who explains flipped learning in the video says he likes the new method of flip learning because he can challenge students at their level of ability where as before the old method of teaching he says he had to shoot for the middle.

This website had a nice article that had realistic ideas for future educators.

This video was awesome. This teacher is awesome. It gave the students opinions in the video as well. This video was really nice because not only does the guy tell you about it but the video also shows you.
