BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
What if the problem isn't lecture, but it's the model? In this episode of "The Lecture Is Dead Podcast," hosts Joe Wolff and Ryan Kochevar sit down with instructional technology veteran Michael Wesely to unpack what flipped learning really looks like beyond "videos for homework." With 28 years of experience and a passion for creativity and student voice, Michael shares how educators can use short, strategic videos to reclaim class time, reduce repetition, and shift from "sage on the stage" to facilitator of deeper learning. The conversation explores instructional risk-taking, supportive leadership, post-pandemic realities, and why so many teachers are burning out. It's a candid, energizing look at how to increase engagement, amplify student voices, and build sustainable teaching practices — without abandoning what works.
