Game Changer!

Using a flipped classroom approach and also integrating current technologies is a game changer!  For the first time in education we finally have equality.  How do we ask at-risk students to do homework at home when many of their homes are already at-risk?  By reversing our processes by giving a video lecture to students the day before and having students do homework in school the next day allows for students to receive the help they need when they are actually doing their work is a game changer for all.  If a student needs help they can receive it.  If they need a computer, they can use one.  If they need to talk to others they can.  Just as any other student, all students now have the opportunity to learn in the same atmosphere as other more affluent students.  By infusing current video making technologies, educators have the potential to place the best teacher units to formulate one fabulous class.   By creating screen capture videos of their lectures,  school districts can use their best teachers to present their best units.  Teachers, if they did not do the presentation would still use it and be responsible for creating an awesome learning environment by develop classroom activities that implement research based strategies and extensive collaboration group.  Now each student has the opportunity to see the best of the best at all times.   This flipped technology integration model is the game changer we have been desperately looking for.
