Ever since the coronavirus pandemic came to our lives, our world has literally been flipped upside down. As a teacher, many adjustments had to be made and students were still expected to learn and teachers expected to teach the curriculum. One of the struggles I had as a teacher, was to continue giving my students the instruction they deserved across our screens, and yet make it relevant and fun all at the same time. As I searched for new ways to make learning relevant for my students, I came across the Flipped Classroom. Which literally means teaching upside down. Classroom setup has always stayed the same no matter when you stepped inside a classroom. Classrooms have always been teacher-centered. Teachers are lecturing in the front of the classroom while the students take notes, and it is merely impossible to keep everyone on check. In the Flipped Classroom students view the video lessons at home and dedicate class time to hands-on collaborative activities. In the Flipped Classroom teachers remove themselves from center stage and instead become more accessible to students. Video implementation is a vital part of assigning homework in flipped learning. My students will be watching the videos I will create with my new software from the comfort of their home. They will be able to manipulate the video to stop, pause, and rewatch whenever they need to. It's a win-win situation.
