Flipped classroom response
Can you see a place for Flipped instruction in your
classroom?
I definitely do see a place for flipped instruction in my
classroom. However, I think its effectiveness depends on many things. I think
that it depends on the type of learner. Some students are better at reading and
taking notes than watching a video and typing, for example. I think the flipped
classroom can allow for students and teachers to both have more time to do
one-on-one work. Teachers can refine and create better and more lessons and
students can spend more time in class working on problems and activities to
ensure their understanding of the concepts. I think at first that it may take a
teacher some time to get used to flipped classroom approach, but once they have
put in the time and developed the lessons/videos, they will actually have more
time in the long run.
How important is it to use visuals to support your
instruction? Use a blog and/or online article to support your opinion (provide

It is important to use visuals to support your instruction
because they engage students and allow them to access information in another
way. It also allows them to create their own work in a meaningful and personal
way, for example in digital story telling. Images, such as those used in
digital storytelling, bring in the viewer and give the creator an opportunity
to personalize their story on a deeper level. As explained in digital
storytelling part two, there are many tools that can be used to create a
digital story, and visuals such as videos and images are very important in
creating an engaging and meaningful experience. Many visuals invoke emotions
and feelings that words and sounds cannot and therefore can be vital in
delivering the complete message of one’s story or lesson. What’s great about
digital storytelling is that there are many tools and an infinite amount of
videos and images for both students and teachers to use in engaging their
audience.
