Thoughts on the Flipped Classroom Concept

I would love to try this out. The benefits of less worries and the goal to have more focus would be quite an accomplishment. Absenteeism is a problem in our school. I wonder if this would help. However, my school is low income and therefore, many don’t have computers at home. They would have to go to the library or YMCA to find a computer. Our administration is pushing for higher level thinking. This program would give everyone an opportunity to contribute. I like the idea of a Flipped classroom putting more accountability on the student.

Animoto Video


I would use Animoto in my classroom for several things. Like the one attached, I would introduce new applications to the class. I could create demonstrations of processes used on the computer. I could create classroom procedure videos.
