TLC 1: Student independent learning

During our first TLC we started by brainstorming some ideas which promotes student independent learning in addition to some of the pros and cons behind using such teaching strategies.

To gain a further understanding and to help illustrate the flipped classroom and in-class flip we watched an example of this from a relevant YouTube video which supported the previously read research behind a flipped classroom.http://youtu.be/hhq3Yn_QgIA

 We then used current research from a number of blog posts to collate our thoughts behind a flipped classroom which allowed colleagues to gain an idea of how a flipped classroom could be successfully implemented.

From gaining an idea behind a Flipped classroom we then started to plan ideas to introduce this teaching strategy in a lesson before the next TLC using a Pick and Mix style in class flip guidance learning mat. Colleagues were then able to start to plan which class, when and what they will do as part of a flipped classroom trial.
