If lecture at school is bad, why is it all of a sudden ok at home?

But it seems as if I'm the only one out there who's not sipped the flipped classroom Kool Aid.

I'm curious to hear more thoughts on the differences. Here is a colleagues thoughts on this. dgalpert.posterous.com/m...

I think it depends on the lecture format. If the students are listening, watching and interacting with the content online, why couldn't that

happen in the classroom?

this is food for thought for sure.

does it depend on your definition of lecture? giving notes or modeling problem solving?

sometimes giving any notes in class is a pain....kids at different places at diff times..."wait I haven't written it all down yet"

same with problem solving.."what was step 1?"

with a video they can get it at their own speed and replay what they need

then in class we have more time to get deeper into things....practice with teacher available to help

I'm curious, too. In my former school, the home environment wasn't conducive to learning for many kids.

And my current position is unique and not a classroom type set-up.

I think at the end of the day it will come down to how its managed and guided by the adults. I think their is lots of potential.

carlossebastian: That's what I hear from people actually doing it. I sure hope so. I hope it's not a novelty that wears thin.

GingerTPLC: I hope so too
