This week we considered two alternative instructional approaches: the flipped classroom and challenge-based learning. Below, I have included my likes and questions for both topics. I feel that my current instructional practice would be more easily adapted to the flipped classroom and I think that my students would respond well. I currently use online resources and now that I have learned to create video lectures it would be very simple for me to post lectures before class, supply students with a set of notes that they could use to ensure they are making sense of the lecture and then create diverse learning experiences in the classroom that would be specific to a student’s needs – space to work collaboratively, space to receive one on one attention and space to do more advanced challenge problems.

Hi Brandon! I like how you organized your thoughts on these two topics. I agree that screencasts would be very helpful to post your lectures online for the students. You posed a great question about student accountability for this process. Maybe students could come to class with at least two questions written down in order to hold them accountable, and to ensure they are able to engage during the classroom collaboration time. Great post!

Both Flipped and CBL present some pretty interesting and "innovative" ideas and strategies for our classrooms - but with the content I need to teach my students it doesn't feel like it could work in my context. If money were no object and students had the computers and free access to the software - then maybe flipped could work in my classroom. I actually think it would be pretty awesome actually - but too many roadblocks.
