FLIPPED CLASSROOM
• Flipped Classroom is a teaching strategy that reverses the traditional learning environment by delivering instructional content, outside of classroom.
• It moves activities projects, assignments, homework etc. in the class.
Four Pillars of Flipped Classroom
• Flexible Environment - In flipped classroom, teachers need to create flexible learning environment by providing opportunities for students to choose when and where they want to learn.
• Learning Culture - In flipped model, class time is shifting to discuss more in-depth about each topic. More over flipped classroom changes the traditional learning culture into learner- centred class. As a result students are actively involved in knowledge construction.
• Intentional Content - Flipped learning requires intentional content. Means, In flipped model, the teacher determine what they need to teach and what materials students should handle on their own. Here teacher use intentional content to minimize class time in order to adopt learner centred, activity oriented class.
• Professional Educator - The role of professional educators is even more important in a flipped classroom than in traditional one. The flipped model needs instructors who can observe, provide timely feedback, continuously assess work and help students master content. This is something only professional educators can do.
Advantages of Flipped Classroom
- Students take ownership for learning.
- It promote student centered learning and collaboration.
- Lessons and content are more accessible.
- It emphasis on co-operative learning.
- It can be more efficient.
Disadvantages of Flipped Classroom
• It create digital divide.
• It depends on preparation and trust.
• Teacher may have extra work.
• Student may force to spent time in front of screen.
EDUCATIONAL PODCASTING
• A podcast is a digital audio recording, with or without images, which instructors can use to deliver content to students in an easy asynchronous fashion.
• Once generated, podcasts can be disseminated online through personal websites or podcast directories.
• Podcasting, is the name for this process, delivering podcasts. This word is an amalgamation of "broadcasting" and the acronym "POD." POD stands for "Portable on Demand," and was first used to name Apple Computer's widely successful portable media player, the iPod.
• Podcasting has emerged as an accessible and affordable means of communicating ideas and knowledge to the world.
• One significant advantage of podcasting is the ability to automatically distribute podcasts through online subscriptions.
• Students can subscribe to the podcasts, which lets the student's computer download new lecture materials automatically.
• The low cost, ease of use, and effectiveness as a communication tool all validate the use of podcasting in the classroom.
• Educators can easily include podcasting in their repertoire of teaching tools because it only requires a modest budget, software experimentation, and creativity.
Uses of Podcasting/Vodcasting in classroom
• Podcasting/Vodcasting allows educators to reach students using the digital medium. It can be used to interact with students and parents beyond the four walls of a classroom and can be a great facilitator to increase student engagement.
• Podcasting/Vodcasting is an inexpensive way to create digital content for your classroom.
• Podcasting/Vodcasting can be used as a way to provide a variety to students in the way of teaching learning.
• Teachers can also use podcasting to create "testing review" sessions for students.
• Student created podcasts/vodcasts give students the opportunity to enhance their organization, communication and technology skills.
• Podcasting/Vodcasting will also benefit students who have any disability by giving them the opportunity to listen and or watch classroom content many times.
• Students who are absent on a given day can download the classroom podcast/vodcasts and not miss out on valuable classroom instruction.
• Distance education students benefit through Podcasting/Vodcasting by allowing them to download the classroom content which will provide more instruction.
• To quickly disseminate daily or weekly lectures, a minimalist podcast (i.e., without any visual or sound effects) can be generated in the time it takes to give the lecture and upload the file to the website.
• Students can access the material whenever and as often as they would like, thereby reinforcing critical concepts or details they may have missed in the original classroom lecture.
• Assignments that require students to generate, edit, and publish their own podcasts reinforce critical communication skills such as writing a script that will be presented online or in a classroom.

Steps to Create Podcasting
At its simplest, the creation of a podcast requires a microphone, software, and a computer.
- Step 1: Determine the content, what do you want to say or what do your students want to say.
- Step 2: Gather the necessary equipment a microphone. You will also need a computer with Audacity and MP3 encoding software or other audio recording/editing software loaded to record and edit your podcast.
- Step 3: Plug the microphone into the computer.
- Step 4: Open Audacity or Lame MP3 encoder or Garage Bandor any other software for making the podcast and check to make sure it is setup properly.
- Step 5: Click the red record button and record your content.
- Step 6: Edit your audio file.
- Step 7: Convert to MP3.
- Step 8: Save the file.
- Step 9: Upload the file to a website.
Programs that help to create Vodcasts
• Windows Movie Maker
• iMovie
Websites to download/upload Educational Vodcasts
• iTunes
• Teacher Tube
• School Tube
Steps to Classroom Vodcasting
• Step I: Determine the content, what do you want to say or what do your students want to say.
• Step 2: Gather the necessary equipment. You will need a digital video recorder.
• Step 3:Record your content.
• Step 4: Download the recorded video into the computer either to Windows Movie Maker or iMovie.
• Step 5: Edit your video file.
• Step 6: Save the edited video.
• Step 7: Upload the file to a website.
Publishing and Disseminating the Podcasts
Once the podcast has been recorded and edited, it is then ready for distribution. For the publication and subscription process to begin, the podcast needs to be accessible on a server. A dedicated domain name for the course or instructor can be purchased from commercially available services. Once the podcasts are posted on a dedicated website, the subscription process can be initiated. Establishing student subscriptions to the class lectures first requires a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed file to be generated. An RSS feed is a web publishing format that displays all the necessary information about the podcast, such as the title, file size, a brief description, and the author. The RSS feed file is merely a text file that provides information for the podcast hosting site and, ultimately, the end user. To generate the RSS feed files, one can use the free program.
Feedburner(http://feedburner.google.com) with any operating system. This program will create a URL that is then submitted to a directory portal such as iTunes where anyone can search for and subscribe to the podcast. Apple's iTunes is a free program available to both Mac and PC users (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download). Once students subscribe to the podcast, new podcasts will automatically download and play when the iTunes podcast window opens.
