Flip Teaching Within 21st Century Classrooms   

It's called "Flip Teaching" or  "reverse teaching" or a "backwards classroom."  Here's how it's happening, for real. Educators embracing the Internet and social media as an instructional tool, and then record their lessons and post them via YouTube or embedded into a blog, wiki or LMS for students to complete at home. Some educators blog what is covered in class and the homework, which includes the lesson videos, worksheet pdfs, and online worksheets, where students can check their own work.


Kids watch lectures and videos at home  

Class is for hands-on work and face-to-face interaction with teacher/peers

So why has this method become such a booming topic in education?

The days of the teacher as "sage on the stage" are numbered.  Instead, the teacher becomes the "guide on the side" where students are using the class/school experience as a fully interactive experience WITH the teacher  - - instead of the teacher being the one-way traditional talking head.   This way, students are asking questions and solving problems with the teacher or fellow students -  instead of just sitting compliantly and listening - where the teacher can spend more time addressing specific questions and personalized attention, rather than just the one-size-fits-all lecture.
