Blended and flipped Classroom

For my future classroom I really liked the ideas of blended and flipped classrooms.  I like that both ideas give students more independence.  Students are able to learn material that is applicable to their learning style.  It also gives the teacher more freedom to help individual students or groups.  I liked that the you can design groups depending on projects and the needs of the students.  These types of classrooms really benefit students learning styles.  You are always going to have students that aren't motivated regardless of classroom setup.  In my opinion having options that are not the traditional classroom set up would lessen the lack of motivation.  Plus I believe you can find unique ways to incorporate more material and hands on in a blended or flipped classroom.  It can lead to excitement in a classroom.  For example, at Milan Village Elementary School: Station Rotation, Individual Rotation models. Once identified as needing improvement, Milan Village’s principal redesigned the school’s model into one that would enable students to progress at a flexible pace while allowing them to access content in a blended learning environment. Beginning with 2nd grade, each student has his or her own computer and alternates between online and offline learning with the guidance of teachers, who assign online or offline lessons to students based on each student’s individual progress and learning style.
