I just finished reading this book by Carolina R. Buitrago and Martha Ramirez, and I'm thrilled about what I've learned. If you're interested in shifting your class to a more student-centered, active, and blended learning approach, I highly recommend picking up this book and trying the strategies for yourself!
What is In-Class Flip?
Simply put, the In-Class Flip strategy allows students to engage with digital content during class time, as opposed to the 'traditional' Flipped Classroom strategy where it's assigned as homework. It offers the benefits of the flipped classroom, with added bonuses.
Why consider In-Class Flip?
Here are three reasons why everyone should consider the in-class flip.
Differentiation: The combination of technology, face-to-face interaction, and teacher guidance provides the perfect blend to cater to the diverse needs of students. In-class flipping also allows students to progress at their own pace, with teachers able to step in promptly if they see a student struggling.
Tech + Face-to-Face Interaction + Teacher = Perfection!
Accessibility: The digital divide still exist my friends. While some students have ease access to digital devices, others aren't as fortunate. This makes the traditional flipped classroom challenging for some. The in-class flip ensures all students have equal access to digital resources right in the classroom! Plus, it doesn't require numerous devices, making it ideal for schools with limited tech resources!
Engaging: By having stations with multi-modal learning content and carefully designed tasks and activities to ignite curiosity and foster connection, you guarantee active and engaged learning throughout your lesson.
