The Importance Of The Flipped Classroom

In Ravisankar’s Lantern Ohio state university student newspaper essay, “ Sweatshop Oppression” writer Rajeev Ravisankar uses Black Friday as an opening to show the great lengths that consumers are willing to go to achieve the most products for the lowest price possible. The problem that he identifies is the rampant state of the consumer who is lost in their own mind in acquiring the best deals and not thinking otherwise into the human cost that goes in to producing the items they are buying. His second goal is to bring awareness to the conditions and day-to-day work life of the many who suffer horrid conditions in these sweatshops. He assumes that his readers have some knowledge of the term sweatshop, but many do not understand the conditions

Cognitive engagement is noted through student/teacher discourse within the classroom (Parsons, Malloy, Parsons, & Burrowbridge, 2015; Cleary & Zimmerman, 2012). Behavioral engagement is easily observed from students postures and eye contact on the speaker (Fisher, Frey, & Quaglia, 2018). In order for students to achieve, it is important for students to be engaged both cognitively and behaviorally (Ivey & Johnston, 2013). Students who are engaged both behaviorally and cognitively are proven to be more successful academically (Guthrie & Wigfield,

The key components of disruptive blended learning model is giving students some control over the time, place, path and the pace of their learning. The students’ ability to learn according to their style will help accelerate their learning potential. Instead of teaching to the middle, the students have their own personalize education that helps reach for their potential and still meet the standard of the state’s education. Another key components of disruptive blended learning model are that part of learning happens in supervising, brick-and-mortar location. The technology does not replace the teacher, the teachers are there to help mentor and guide the students on their correct path. By having students been at the location, the teachers can

Emigrating to the United States has affected where I am today. Moving abroad is the starting point to understanding who I was and who I have grown to be. My life before being part of an innovative nation, I was born to believe that women were only created to raise a family, cook, clean, and keep their heads down. No one ever mentioned that I could conquer any challenges that came my way or how I carried a voice within me that could influence the lives around me. The novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie brushes on different scenarios where she also encounters gender discrimination during her time in Lagos, Nigeria.

In this article it explains that flipping the classroom is where the students prepare for the lesson before class then receive feedback on the lesson. That would give the students time to ask questions. Besides a flipped classroom this article talks a bout the inverted classroom and peer instruction. The students complete worksheets and get to ask questions during class the worksheets are then chosen, at random, to be taken for a grade. Peer instruction is a new technological way for students to interact with each other. The students receive clickers that will anonymously show the answer to the questions, and then in small groups they will discuss the questions. All of these methods tend to work, but according to the article the peer instruction has the best effect on students because they are discussing with their peers.

Plot summary: Amir flashbacks to when he was twelve years old in Afghanistan. He lives with his father, Baba, and has two servants, Ali and Hassan, who are also a father and son duo. The latter two are Hazaras, Afghan’s minority, and as such, are subjected to racial slurs and cruelty. Amir and Hassan are playing when Assef, Kamal, and

Engagement within the classroom is vital because it is directly associated with reading achievement (Ivey & Johnston, 2013). Engagement within the classroom proves to be most effective when it emphasizes interest, enjoyment, and enthusiasm (Parsons et al, 2014). As stated by Skinner and Pitzer (2012), “engagement is a robust predictor of students’ learning, grades, achievement test scores, retention, and graduation” (p.21). Engagement is the only way for students to be academically successful, and learn continuously (2012).

The purpose of this white paper is to present the need, benefits, and feasibility of Blended Classrooms in a mainstream high school to the school board at Anaheim Union High School District for implementation. The use of a blended classroom format is likely to result in higher achievement on high stakes test, give students the opportunity to learn in a technologically rich learning environment, and aid in improving the social climate for students by decreasing the chance and opportunity for bullying as well as improving the students use of time through their own design. In chapter three, a plan for the school district will be introduced to assist the district in the organization and implementation a blended classroom format

This sounds like a great idea but, will every student really have time or access to watching these videos? I don’t think it really said anything about this in the article. That’s a concern of mine. The Flipped Classroom really is a fantastic idea. I just don’t know if every student would really watch the videos all the time. It’s sometimes hard to do some homework at night. And if their parents weren’t involved in their child’s education they wouldn’t push them to watch those videos. I guess they could just have the videos for when students need to see a lesson again. But, I feel like teachers would use it as a thing to just teach the students so they had more class time to work on things.

Students’ energy and learning potential hold a critical role in academic success. Teachers see the current trend of decreasing student satisfaction from high school education context, which draws attention to the concept of student engagement. Conceptualized as the drive to engage, one of the important factors for student learning and personal development is students’ level of engagement with academically purposeful activities (Kuh, 2001). The misconception of students’ learning lies within educators’ understanding of what student engagement is and how to facilitate it effectively in the classroom.

What motivates a student is personal but can be seen through the engagement and disengagement of a student in teaching and learning activities. Therefore, engagement is an important element of learning because it makes learning possible and provides teachers with the feedback they need to gauge ‘how well their efforts to motivate students are working’ (O’Donnell et al., 2016, pp. 450-451). Teachers can promote students’ engagement to enhance students’ intrinsic motivation by providing activities that are interesting and encourages self-direction. Teachers can also engage themselves in the act of relatedness by relating to students in a caring way to aid extrinsic motivation (O’Donnell et al., 2016, p.

For me, the teaching process in constantly changing depending on the students in my class and the development each of them demonstrates. Each year will bring a new class full of students with diverse backgrounds and abilities which creates academic diversity in the classroom (Krause, Bochner, Duchesne & McMaugh, 2010). This allows students to learn from one another using a more knowledgeable other being either me as a teacher or a fellow classmate (McInerney, 2014). Engagement within the classroom is important as it will enable me to provide individual feedback and to ensure the students that learning is possible (O’Donnell et al., 2016). Through the use of real world activities children are provided with very stimulating and thought-provoking

Technologies have its own share of advantages and disadvantages. Technology can be a boon in disguise or it can work in opposite way. In past, several learning institutes have tried applying new and latest technologies to enhance the teaching experience. Technology needs to be analysed methodically to estimate the benefits. The technology we discussed and recommend includes Webex, classroom recording which facilitate collaborative online interactive sessions. These technology have played important role in making teaching more flexible and beneficial to students and teachers. Many universities across the world have started using online interactive sessions for teaching. This is also known as online tutoring or online course. As of now, major US universities including MIT and Harvard are offering online courses. It has its own unique selling point of location flexibility. It has been successfully tried across the world to give more value to students and make education truly global globalized.

Besides Athena or Zeus, it is possible that Hermes could have been Odysseus' protector on his journey home from the war. He was known for his toughness and quickness. Hermes could definitely be a great protector not just for Odysseus, but for anybody. He is willing to go to the ends of the earth just to keep someone safe at all costs. His qualities fit him perfectly to be able to protect Odysseus.

There are many aspects to teaching and as a teacher it is necessary to understand the most important aspects of teaching and how they should be incorporated into the classroom. A teacher’s most important job is not to teach specific material but to build relationships with the students and ensure they feel safe and cared for. Once the teacher is able to ensure this then they should focus on teaching, however teaching is more than listing off facts and sharing information with the students. As teachers it is essential we try to engage our students. There are many ways to engage students and each teacher as a specific way they get their classroom involved in learning. During my field experience I have learned the importance of being able to engage students and I have seen what a classroom looks like when students are not engaged. My field experience has helped to reflect on student engagement and how I would place the experience in my philosophy of education.
