Students could greatly benefit from the flipped classroom if they would take advantage of the opportunity to maximize their learning. I feel that the flipped classroom concept is a good one if I had the power of changing how students value their education. I have trouble getting students to complete homework, practice science equations or even read material to prepare for class. If I do not allow the students time to complete work in class, in many cases, it simply is not completed. If I were to adopt this form of teaching without the buy in of the students I believe it would fail.
Social media is where students are tuned in. Communicating with students through Facebook, Twitter, etc. is a really efficient and beneficial. Teachers can get to know their students and gain a better perception of their students. Likewise students can begin to acknowledge their teachers as people instead of strictly teachers. Social networking can help build relationships by allowing students and teachers to identify common interests and build communication lines that otherwise would not have been built. These relationships can be imperative to the student’s academic success.
