Educators Evaluate Flipped Classrooms

This article on "flipping classrooms" has a lot of helpful information in it and I think that it goes good with the previous article, "As K-12 classrooms go high-tech, colleges get more virtual." This article explains a new technique known as a "flipped classroom." This new movement gives teachers the choice to send videos home with their students so that they can get the extra help they may need. I feel that this will be a huge success in many school districts, especially the underprivileged schools. A "flipped classroom" also gives the teachers and students more one-on-one and hands on time in the classroom.  Studies show that this has been a pretty successful movemet. Several schools all over the nation have already adopted this movement and they have had great successes. The article also explains a fairly new improvement to a "flipped classroom" and it is the mastery-based model of a "flipped classroom." For the mastery-based model, students are not required to watch the lecture videos at home; they are given an outline of the notes, videos, and worksheets that they might need for a test or quiz and then they are encouraged to watch the video for extra help. There are several negative and positive attitudes from teachers toward this new method, but I think as it is practiced more through schools it will definitely help improve education.
