The emerging pedagogy that appeals most to me for my classroom, subject matter, and students is the flipped classroom. While I have heard of and explored MOOCs quite a bit and I do think a Genius Hour is a great idea, I think a flipped classroom model would have the greatest impact on my instruction a cnd my students' learning. What Is a Flipped Classroom? A flipped classroom model moves direct instruction from "the group learning space to the independent learning space," (Eduemic, n.d.), or put another way, it gives lecture and note-taking for homework and what would traditionally be the homework, the reading and practice, is done in schools. The way the teacher delivers the lecture at home is up to him or her, but can include but not be limited to, recording audio and/or video lectures in advance and posting them for students to view at home; using resources like Kahn Academy, YouTube, and other online sources made by other educators; and reading textbooks and taking notes. Students are exposed to and hopefully learn the content at a basic level at home, so that when they come to school they can come to school with questions, manipulate the content with the teacher's help, and the teacher can ensure that students are practicing the content correctly. Why sit through a lecture in person, if it’s going to be the same for everyone? Why not, instead, view that lecture at home on your own time, and have the instructor actually help you, one-on-one, to do the work she’s assigned? ~Schuman, 2014 Drawbacks of a Flipped Classroom
