There is a new way of teaching that is being introduced into the classroom to give students a choice on how they would like to learn the information. With students receiving laptops, they are now able to access information online at home.
Math teacher Jillianne Bellville said that she doesn't have a traditional flipped classroom.
Everyone has a different way of learning. Some students do better learning in the classroom than at home. Some teachers have started recording their lessons so that if they were to be absent, the students would still be able to have access to their lesson for that day.
Senior Shayen Patel said that this new concept of a flipped classroom is beneficial to him.
"I think that this new way of teaching is effective because if you are watching the videos at home and then the next day if you would like some help on the homework, if you don't understand something, you can quickly ask the teacher in there," Patel said.
Patel said he typically follows a routine with this flipped classes. Usually, Patel watches the lessons at home and attends class to ask questions about things he might not understand.
However, not all students are in agreement with this new style of teaching.
Junior Sam Palecki said the concept of a flipped classroom is not beneficial to him.
When given the opportunity to learn the material on their own, Palecki said most students aren't choosing to actually take the time to learn the material.
When giving the kids the freedom to learn outside of the classroom, Bellville said teachers don't really know if the kids are taking the time to watch the videos.
However, Bellville said after testing this teaching method she noticed there were some issues with student comprehension.
