flipped biology post 1

Implementing flipped learning in my biology classroom has multiple benefits. Biology deals with a lot of terms and vocabulary, labeling parts of the cell or explaining processes in the cell such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration with formulas and complicated biochemical reactions. Students who are absent for days from school have the opportunity to do this at home and save a lot of time. Students can review and study material at home and even take tests using online websites. Students who have been present in the class but have difficulties with a particular concept will have flexibility to review and study material at their own pace and re-visit as many times as they need. High performing students will have an opportunity to go over some of the concepts on their own and conduct some of the research associated with the concepts. Generally, this approach is beneficial in my opinion because it definitely saves time and gives everyone a great deal of flexibility.

  1. It does save classroom time. Like we had talked about, students will be able to come in to class and start working in their groups in the beginning. I think that your students will react positively to this as well. The only concern will be how to handle the students that don't watch the video prior to class.
