I hadn't actually heard the term "Flipped Classroom" until starting in this program. I was intrigued to find out what the excitement was all about. When hearing a little bit about it my immediate thought was how can that work in my 2nd grade classroom. I feel that with younger grades parent support is a must in getting the kids to follow through with the watching of videos. After doing the reading I am more open about it, although I still feel it is more of a challenge for lower elementary teachers to flip their classroom then upper elementary and Jr/Sr. High classes.
I like what "The Flipped Class Manifest" stated about what a flipped classroom should look like. I like the idea of intentional and active transfer of information being done at home, so that students have more time in class to work on the concepts with fellow classmates. The teacher is then there as an active guide in there learning journey. I look forward to trying to step out of my comfort zone and trying a few flipped lessons in my class.
