T21-6 Blog

Whenever you hear about new innovations in education, you have to sift out the hype from the real gold. The popularity of the flipped classroom model suggests that there is something of value here, so we need to do some objective evaluation. For this week’s blog, analyse what you have learned about the flipped classroom model and consider whether it might be appropriate for your teaching context. What benefits could you expect to see and what challenges would you need to overcome?

Some of our Stimulus resources compared flipped learning with the lecture model of teaching. Is this a relevant comparison for your classroom?
