#flipped classroom

turns out shes doing it in the worst way i think she could possibly do it, especially with the way i learn. the whole point is defeating homework (no im not counting just writing down video notes as homework those are NOTES n theyre different to me) but she still gives us half the page to do on our own.

and usually? she does the easier ones as an example, leaving me with NO clue on how to apply the techniques to the harder questions. it leaves me with so many what ifs that cant wait for tomorrow, because if i dont answer one problem? i dont get any points. and it sucks when i dont even know how to start a problem, and im staring at one problem for 30 minutes to an hour without a clue on how to defeat it.

also, i process videos very quickly, and im also in a house with a bunch of speedy talkers, me included. but she doesnt allow the video to be sped up at all. so despite the fact that the video is painfully slow to me, as well as her speaking pace, there is literally nothing i can do. it just frustrates me because its so slow to the point im not even able to process what shes saying. (ps you can slow it down but not speed it up)

also, she PILES on work while ur in class. her whole classroom protocol of work at school and notes at home is literally already breaking two weeks into school because i cant finish the amount of work in class most days. not to mention, after every question she's asked? out loud: "wonderful questions guys, let me know if you have any! wonderful questions, im here if you need me." over and over, and i am VERY easily distracted, especially with unmedicated audhd. so. yeah. not a good mix.

Math is one four-letter word that leaves many teens anxious and sweaty. The idea of an impending math test might send shivers down their spines. Some kids avoid their homework — or at least delay starting it — because they find math so daunting. Their minds might even go blank at the sight of test questions, no matter how well they have studied. If this is you, there’s some comfort knowing that you’re not alone.

It’s hard to pinpoint how many people suffer stress or anxiety just thinking about math. But it’s common. In fact, math anxiety can strike even mathematicians. So having this condition does not mean you’re bad at math or doomed to fail. And there are tips that can help you overcome this anxiety.

Explainer: What is anxiety?

There’s always hope, says Patrick Honner. “We’re in control of math. Math isn’t in control of us,” says this teacher at Brooklyn Technical High School in New York City. Honner also writes a math column for Quanta Magazine, where he shares basic math concepts from recent research.

There are many different types of teaching methods. There are a few examples that are common such as teacher-centered method, learner-centered method and interactive/participative method but there is an inquisitive method that caught my attention and that is the  flipped classroom methodology. This method is a student-centered method and typically is a high-tech approach. 

This method was implemented by two science teachers, Jon Bergmann and Aaron Sams, at a small Colorado high school where they were originally considered as a pre- broadcasting. Yet it became known as the flipped classroom and more schools are following this concept of teaching. I notice that some professors at Gallaudet University are using this method too. The purpose of using this method is to free up time in the classroom for engaged learning and have the students watch the pre- recorded videos at the comforts of their homes in their own time. This method would afford the teacher and students to work together on class assignments, learning exercises, projects, discussions and some difficult tasks that may need to be tackled during the face-to-face time. 

The several advantages of having this method is giving the students more control, student-centered learning and access to lessons as long as there are effective technology readily available. Not only that, the parents would have access to see what their children are learning online. On the other side of this method is that there may be some students who would  be less motivated than others and this learning style might not be effective for them. It might create a divide between the teacher and their students in regards to the amount of screen time instead of physically interacting with people. Even though, it may mean more time for teachers to prepare ahead of time in order to have the students engage in this type of teaching, it is rewarding for the teachers to get to know their students more during face-to-time time instead of lecturing in front of the students in classrooms.

Siento este título tan sensacionalista pero quería hacer hoy referencia a este “tipo de aprendizaje” del que tanto se habló en su tiempo y que personalmente creo que no tiene sentido a día de hoy (ahora lo justificaré).
