Diario Flipped Classroom III

En esta entrada del blog daré respuesta a las cuestiones lanzadas por el curso FLIPEED CLASSROOM.

Esta semana hemos trabajado principalmente con herramientas como PADLET, que es una idea estupenda a la hora de hacer una puesta en común de forma organizada y que engloba a mucha gente. Desde hace años conozco esta herramienta y me parece extraordinaria para su aplicación en clase. Es también, muy útil a la hora de compartir ideas en cursos como este.El siguientes enlace muestran mi evolución esta semana en esta herramienta.

Hemos trabajado también mucho con PINTEREST que, pese a no ser de mis herramientas favoritas, considero que es útil y muy visual. En los siguientes enlaces se puede ver mi trabajo de esta semana.

También desde hace unos cuantos años hago uso de SYMBALOO, que es una herramienta online que permite guardar y organizar todos los contenidos online. Es muy útil para tenerlos siempre a mano e ir insertando aquellos que descubro gracias a cursos o a compañeros/as que los sugieren en sus activitidades.

Flipped classroom: Diario

En esta primera entrada del diario del curso se van a quedar reflejadas las reflexiones iniciales y la metodología flipped classroom.

Decidí comenzar este curso para conocer a fondo el funcionamiento de esta forma metodológica de invertir la estructura tradicional de las clases. Hasta la fecha había oído de ella en canales como youtube e incluso en algunas experiencias metodológicas en el extranjero.

Despierta mi interés el hecho de que se trate de un enfoque completamente diferente al que se ha venido llevando a cabo de manera tradicional. Me interesa saber, sobre todo, la manera en la que realizar y fijar la temporalización y organización de todo el proceso.

Haciendo un poco de investigación previa he encontrado la siguiente imagen que simboliza y resume a la perfección los pilares en los que se basa:

A simple vista, parece ser que este modelo permite que se aborde de una manera más profunda el trabajo individualizado, con lo que la atención a las diversidades es mucho más amplia.

October is here!
