The Flipped Classroom
What is the Flipped Classroom?
The flipped classroom describes a reversal of traditional teaching where students gain first exposure to new material outside of class, usually via reading or lecture videos, and then class time is used to do the harder work of assimilating that knowledge through strategies such as problem-solving, discussion or debates. (Vanderbilt University, Center for Teaching).
The Flipped Classroom in Big Picture at LTC
How are we implementing the Flipped Classroom in the Big Picture Academy at LTC?
The Flipped Classroom is used in Big Picture at LTC to complete the required work that is set by ACARA and the BSSS. The platform that we are using is called "Facebook Groups" and will incorporate small, short and sharp instructional tutorials. Each student will have access to this group and be required to converse in there. The evidence of their learning will be displayed through their Journals and assessment pieces as required by the college system governing body, the Board of Senior Secondary Studies (BSSS)
How do students join this Private Facebook Group?
Simple, Students send of a request to join the Private Facebook Group, via their own personal Facebook Accounts. The administrators of the group will then approve their request. ONLY STUDENTS and TEACHERS are permitted to be part of this group. Parents can also view the group undertakings via their own child's Facebook account.
