Is this the future of learning? In a recent LAHC conference in Mexico, Martin Skelton (Twitter: @martlearning ) explained the importance of the teacher's role in developing and practising more challenging skills with the students, rather than focusing on just "providing knowledge" to the students in class. The idea being that knowledge provision should be as swift as possible, allowing more time in the classroom for the teacher to work with students on developing skills such as analysis and critical thinking.
The flipped classroom supports this idea and is fast becoming a favourite of forward thinking teachers. However, would it work in our school? Would our students be willing to spend time at home learning about theory prior to arriving at class?
Here is a link that explains that defines and explains the flipped classroom:
