Does 'Flipped Learning' Become a Tool for 'Getting Technology Out of the Classroom'?
This is good for a basic understanding, but what we most wanted to share—in case you don’t click and go read it—is a concept that we just finally understood: Flipped Learning uses technology before and after class, to support the engagement of learners and faculty in the rare and valuable face to face moments we call “class time". There are other interesting concepts in this piece, as well:
[Steve] Wheeler of York University] would like to see the flipped concept taken one step further. He argues that flipped learning should represent a fundamental shift, a turning on its head for the way learning is delivered. This shift would see teachers become learners and learners become teachers. "Flipping learning for me means teachers becoming learners and students becoming teachers. If teachers assume the role of a learner, and accept that they are not the fonts of all knowledge, but are there to facilitate learning instead of instructing, positive change in education would happen.”
