Digital Movie / Flipped Classroom

This week in one of my classes, we practiced making a digital movie for our students that they could watch in their own time outside of the class. This approach to learning is called a flipped classroom, because the students do the basic learning outside of class and then start the application process in class. We watched this video in class to get some background information about what a flipped classroom is and how we can use it with our students.

 
For my digital movie project, I made a summary video of Romeo and Juliet.


We had to record audio and place it over visual pictures. I inserted my video above, so hopefully it works and you are able to watch it!

    I thought this was a cool tool. It could be used in a middle school or even a high school setting. I would take value in something like this as a student and as a visual learner.

    I thought this was an excellent example of using the blog to promote learning! I'll be honest in saying that I sometimes struggle with the notion of the flipped classroom, because I typically don't lecture and we tend to have inquiry-based discussions on the literature. However, that doesn't mean that I shouldn't consider discussing the flipped classroom. What you have done with Romeo and Juliet is an excellent example of how students can review the content at home, then discuss it in class. We will assume that the students also read the play, so that they can discuss passages, character motivation and other literary elements.

    I really appreciate that you took the time not only to show a video that describes the flipped classroom, but that you posted an example that you created.

    I also think you are doing a great job of combining what you are using in other classes, and bringing it into your blog. Kudos!
