Flip, Flip...Blend it!


Week 7, December 17th 2015
We have been discussing 'Flipped Classrooms' and 'Blended Learning' this week opposed to traditional classrooms.

What I have been watching and reading about this week has been very interesting and one question that I immediately thought about was, what about the students who have limited or no internet access or equity access to digital technologies?  The flipped classroom doesn't seem to work as well in theory however, one of the last videos address this question in part.

Instead of a 'flipped classroom' it then becomes a 'flipped- blended learning' scenario where students have access to video or online information and resources during school time as a rotation group and then by the time they have had time to practice in another rotation group, students have the opportunity to work in small groups with the teacher.
