This article was basically about flipping the classroom
around. You do lectures that you would do in class for homework, and hand on
activities and homework in class! The article talks about a school that tried
it out in their science class and it had wonderful results that they saw in the
classroom and on test grades. I think this is an amazing technique! By the time
children reach middle school, especially high school, they are burnt out. They
are just done and over with learning and want to sleep the whole class day
away. If they already know that they are going to be working on in class ahead
of time from watching the lecture at home then they know what to expect and are
excited to do something hands one that they will probably encounter again in
the real world! I do not think this would work to well for all subject areas,
but for science it is obviously perfect. It changes up the learning and gives
the teacher and children more time to interact with each other.
