Hi to all,
I was discussing the idea of an "inverted class room" teaching approach
with a friend of mine who is a high school teacher (he uses that based
on video recordings for his students ... just awesome AFAIK). I was
hence wondering, if people have tried to teach the carpentry lessons in
this way?
This would mean, that I record some of the parts of a carpentry lesson
in video(s) (10-15 minute each) and ask the students to watch these
videos before the carpentry bootcamp! The in-presence part of the
workshop is then used to do exercises and try to fortify the content of
the videos.
For me the biggest advantage of this approach is, that each learner can
overcome the initial steep learning curve given their own speed of
learning - which is a constant source of trouble when I teach.
Looking forward to your feedback -
Peter
