The Flipped Classroom

I really like the concept of the flipped classroom. The example of a flipped classroom shown in the TED-Ed podcast was amazing. The students seemed engaged in their learning and by having the students learn the content ahead of time, they were able to spend more time applying it in the classroom. The Flipped Classroom model also supports best teaching practices. I feel that students only truly learn the content material when they are asked to apply it in realistic situations. Through The Flipped Classroom model, students are doing just that! They are learning the material on their own time so they can use class time to apply the content which is the true goal of learning!
