However, my point is that Khan Academy by itself is NOT a flipped classroom, as many people seem to assume when they have not done true research on the Flipped Classroom. As the author above mentioned, you cannot point students to Khan Academy and tell them "learn" without the proper scaffolding, guidance, and interactive classroom environment our students need.Crystal Kirchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701759790348069890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-61700911969361592142012-06-12T15:05:01.298-07:002012-06-12T15:05:01.298-07:00Khan Academy as a "flipped classroom" is...<i>Khan Academy as a "flipped classroom" is a huge misconception that is spreading like wildfire ever since the TedX talk earlier this year.</i><br /><br />He was a rock star at the "Celebration of Teaching and Learning."Catherine Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03347093496361370174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-80797681297564321742012-06-12T14:51:45.577-07:002012-06-12T14:51:45.577-07:00I agree with your analysis of the Khan videos. I ...I agree with your analysis of the Khan videos. I am a "flipper" and would NEVER use a Khan video in my classroom for instruction - and I can speak for many of my fellow flippers on this as well. <br /><br />One of the best practices of a well-run flipped classroom is teacher-created content that is engaging, interactive, and connects with the students. Khan Academy as a "flipped classroom" is a huge misconception that is spreading like wildfire ever since the TedX talk earlier this year. A flipped classroom is so much more than video. It is about changing the environment of the classroom to a more dynamic, student-centered place of learning where students are able to connect with and work through the content in a supportive environment. <br /><br />With that, I have a few questions for you regarding the flipped classroom.<br />1)It seems like access to technology is your biggest "con" for considering a flipped classroom? Have you looked into alternate ways for students to access the content (i.e. burning DVDs to watch on a TV)?<br />2) Have you connected with any teachers who are actually flipping and asked them their pros/cons of actually doing it and what benefits they have seen?<br /><br />Just some food for thought... I enjoy the blog!Crystal Kirchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701759790348069890noreply@blogger.com
