LET'S FLIP THE CLASSROOM TEACHERS!


Assalamualaikum..hey there!

"Flipped the classroom trend’.I bet  you have heard about it before..or if you haven’t heard about it, never mind let the expert tells you..:p,..what is actually flip? Yes! You knocked the head. Flip means reverse or change or what else you could say? Turn it over? yeah..maybe..or some teachers recognize it as blended learning. Or to understand it better click here.

So, this trend actually flipping the old method that the teachers normally do in class. What I understand  is that 90 % of time that is used to deliver the information is switched into hands on activities by which students will apply all the knowledge that they get before. Another 10% the duration is  used  as golden chance to give some brief explanations.

Most interesting part guys, teachers can help the students and act as a tutor during the hands on activities. If it compared to the old trend, instructor will stand in front of the class and give the explanation. It is kind of taxing some students. Other words, it was just so boring. Plus, students sometimes get nothing from the explanation. So, it is much better to use this flipped classroom method.

And we are not living in the Stone Age anymore. We got the brilliant technologies that certainly can do anything for us. Just click it and taraaahh! It does everything for but bear in mind that it also needs some knowledge. An early information, practices, or videos can be given to the students for them to know what they are going to learn.  Therefore, when they go the class, they will apply straight away what they understand from the exercises or videos that are already given.  It not only saves lots of time but also gives the students more time to do the practices and and enables them to  absorb more information rather  merely listening to the explanation like the old trend teaching does.

What do you think guys? do think it is lame?no no..don't say that! For more info you can read IT  HERE

Till then! daa.:)
