What is Reverse Instruction? or flipped classroom?
When most people hear about the flipped class all they think about are the videos. Jonathan Gergmann and Aaron Sam, proponents of the flipped classroom, in The Flipped Class Manifest define it the following way:
“In most Flipped Classrooms, there is an active and intentional transfer of some of the information delivery to outside of the classroom with the goal of freeing up time to make better use of the face-to-face interaction in school.”
The flipped classroom is NOT a synonym for online videos.
“It is the interaction and the meaningful learning activities that occur during the face-to-face time that is most important."
Another flipped classroom educator, Brian Bennett, wrote a post explaining that the model is not about the videos, but about the learning.
“The flipped classroom is about making connections with learners and differentiating your instruction. If videos are a part of that multi-faceted plan, great. If they are not, still great. The flipped class is an ideology, not a methodology.”
What is the benefit?
"In this model of instruction, students watch recorded lectures for homework and complete their assignments, labs, and tests in class." therefore:
Flipped classroom (FC) has truly individualized learning for students, they can move at their own pace, review what they need when they need to, and the teacher is then freed up to work one-on-one with students on the content they most need support with. So class time can be used to have thoughtful discussions and Immediately correct any misconceptions.
The FC also empowers students to take ownership of their own learning, something that really needs to happen for optimum internal integration and mastery.

Where should the video go in the instructional cycle? beginning, middle or end and make sure you think through where the video (or if a video) is best suited for a particular lesson.
I can definitely use the advice above for our elementary teachers who are interested in flipping their classrooms without being flip out.
What I learned that Flipping is not an ALL or NOTHING deal. Start small and build a library of resources for your students, not all content need to be presented via video and choose the appropriate time, content and reasonable goal to have student learn independently whether at home or in centres in the classroom. Again, this has to be about more than students watching YouTube lectures at home. Bad pedagogy is bad pedagogy whether it’s flipped or not.”
Select and identify TWO concepts presented in the video you find significant as an early educator and explain why you selected these concepts (7 descriptive/detailed sentences)
The thesis, or the main idea of the book, is that by using specific communication techniques, we can turn difficult discussions into productive learning conversations.
In the article Should Colleges Really Eliminate the College Lecture? by Christine Gross-Loh, Loh discusses the relevance of traditional college lectures and how it could become obsolete in the near future. She explains how a “flipped classroom” could be more beneficial in terms of academics and show improvements in students learning abilities.
The two videos that I like the most from this class was the ted talk name “America’s native prisoners of war” by Aaron Huey, and the documentary “When Your Hands are tied” by Mia Boccella and Marley Shebala. These two videos brought my attention because in the first video which is the ted talk the author of the video is an outsider of the society that he is trying to represent he did not go through the experience that the native people that he is trying to defend went through. In the documentary when your hands are tied this is a little bit more personal I think because this is a documentary where people from the tribe and people that went through all this obstacles are trying to heal themselves.
Every video I watched displayed tools that I could use in my own classroom. The instructional strategies and models used in the classrooms were great. My current teaching philosophy about instructional strategies and models would be that they are great to use. As a teacher, looking for ways to help teach certain lessons is a must. Every teacher found different ways to teach the materials to their students. It is always great to have resources in the classroom to look back on. Students love to have resources to guide them. In the video (Case #1112), I would emulate their strategy by letting my students use a textbook. I feel that textbooks are reliable sources and can be used to validate certain materials. In the video, you can tell that the students were using the textbook as a tool to prove their discussion with each other. In the video (Case #876), I would avoid assessing my students in whole-group discussion. I would have my student in groups to see how they communicate with each t=other about our discussion. Seeing my students evaluating each other’s opinions would be a great way into assessing their knowledge about the lesson. A classroom environment I would like to teach in would be with students who are ready to ask questions. Students who are not afraid to express their thoughts about the instruction. It would be easier for me to assess my students if that were

Presents the results of a study on the effectiveness of computer-based integrated learning system (ILS) in schools in the United States. Subjects in which ILS is used; ILS' ability to track students' progress on learning activities; ILS' effectiveness in improving student learning; Underutilization of ILS in American schools; Potential of ILS to transform the classroom.
There are many different types of learning styles including, visual, aural, multi-modal, and kinesthetic (Welch). People that prefer to learn visually like to see pictures and graphs while someone that is an aural learner needs auditory stimulation like lectures and music. For someone that is a kinesthetic leader, they enjoy the hands on activities in a classroom. This would include building things, role playing, and real life experiences. However, some people prefer two or more learning styles, these people are considered multimodal learners. One goal of ours is to get students to become multimodal learners. We then plan to find a workshop that specializes in teaching professors about different learning styles and how to adjust their teaching methods to be able to get through to students with a variety of learning
The emphasis on social interaction influencing cognitive development impacts on how students are taught. Class room environments need to allow social interaction as a key part of learning activities. This social interaction permits students to learn from both the teacher and their peers through collaborative activities. Teachers that encourage discussion will lead students to think critically and this will assist in providing meaning to new information. (Powell & Kalina, 2009 p245)
With the widespread use of digital technology, the classroom teaching approaches and practices went through remarkable changes. When compared to the past ten years, today the classrooms look entirely different in terms of programs and technical tools used to enhance the learning skills of students.
It focuses on understanding the learner and their needs and not just on a problem to fix. When working on a new course the designer has a defined roadmap of where to start and how to go through the process until the end. This is useful for instructional designers because there are no questions about what to do next. Since technology is built into the design, this is a strong format for designing an online course. The learner will have opportunities to participate and use active learning throughout the class as well.
A high quality hybrid course is not constructed simply by attaching web content to an existing classroom curriculum. Ideally, it should be a unique blended entity that provides improvements on both the online and offline classroom model to create a new and challenging educational experience. Education researcher Norman Vaughan asserts that hybrid education should change the tone of classroom sessions “from a presentational format (i.e., lecturing and information dissemination) to one of active learning (i.e., discussion and debate)” (83). Vaughan then goes on to cite fellow researcher Dodge to bolster his claim that “this form of active learning ‘involves putting our students in situations which compel them to read, speak, listen, think deeply, and write’” (Dodge...

... learning and student satisfaction. Denying students the additional method of teaching is to deny that technology has replaced much of the rote learning used in traditional classrooms.
“According to results of a new national research study, 78% of more than 1,000 students surveyed still believe it is easier to learn in a classroom”. USA today, (2016) Students are able to physically see the work and are able to use tactile stimulation for their learning needs. Face to face students are able to find out the type of learner they are. In discovering their learning style students can use their knowledge to guide them in their educational experience and needs.
