Although this website requires being a student to access this content, I am observing this graph demonstrated above. I agree students should be given opportunities for problem based learning, experiments, and making meaning of their learning. These are valuable tools for anyone trying to learn a new skill, or find new ways of doing anything. 

The "4 Pillars of Flipped Learning" article is highly relevant to my role as an algebra teacher and my ongoing studies in educational technology. It outlines foundational elements like a flexible environment and intentional content, which I can integrate into my classroom to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. This learner-centered approach aligns with my professional development goals and my interest in leveraging technology for more effective teaching.

This article was interesting and gave a great look into the flipped classroom approach. This article shows that flipped classrooms is aligned with Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy, pushing students to engage in higher-level cognitive activities like application, analysis, and synthesis in class while they consumed information at the lower levels outside of class.

The four key elements in a flipped classroom mentioned in this post were: 1. Exposure prior to class, 2. Incentive for Preparation,3. Mechanism for assessment, 4. In-Class Higher-level activities.

The flipped classroom model’s adaptability, focuses on higher-level cognitive skills, and evidence-based efficacy and this I believe makes it a compelling approach to use in my teaching.

This article provides great resources that help make the content relatable to students. I found a resource that I used for my students understand and make the content relatable. They saw me present some examples in the video I assigned them, and we discussed the scenarios in class ( Homework) .

I found it interesting that the first hurdle educators need to overcome is the educators mindset. I think this is the most important hurdle of anything. I often have to deal with students mindset hurdle over their actual level of skills.

This image with these steps has motivated me to record my videos and provide guidance for my students. I have students who struggle understanding my lesson at time, if I give them the option of watching it over, I think they could understand algebra better and get the results we need.

In this video, this school decided to use the flip classroom approach out in Michigan. The school Clintondale High School was desperate to make a change, and they decided to have students watch the lesson at home, and do homework at school. This helped the teacher best assist the student because they were doing the practice in school. I liked that students showed growth, and we can see a lot of students benefited because they had less distractions at home.
