Flipping Large Classes: Three Strategies to Engage Students
For large classrooms, you can assign a different colored hat to six different sections in the room. Students within each section can work in pairs or threes to analyze the problem based on the hat they are assigned. This strategy can also be designed as an individual learning activity. Provide worksheets or online tools for students to document their thinking related to the hat they are assigned.

Blended learning offers
a balanced approach, focused on redesigning instructional models first, then
applying technology, not as the driver, but as the supporter, for high-quality
learning experiences that allow a teacher to personalize and
make the most of the learning.
The technology helps to
supply instructors with data, expand student choices for educational resources
and learning materials, and deliver opportunities for students to practice and
to exhibit the high-character performance.
Broadly speaking, I am for blended learning, which means
taking advantage of both traditional f2f techniques and possibilities presented
by new technologies.
Flipped Classrooms generally provides pre-recorded material
(video or audio) followed by classroom activities. Learners watch the video
before or after the class, this happens outside F2F meetings. Thank’s to that
classroom time can be used for interaction, such as Q@A sessions, discussions,
exercises other learning activities.
This is the perfect way to “invert” doings in the class with
activities outside the teaching space.
Flipping is not just about video and technology.
Moreover, technology does not replace good teaching. It
enhances good teaching.
Flipping helps us to get the best use of class time. It is a
methodology that permits the instructor to involve students intensely in the
collaborative community and produce a shared problem-solving workshop.
