This year I will be "flipping" my math classroom to allow me to do more things inside the classroom. The major difference will be that students will receive instruction at home via videos I record or choose. One of the major concerns other educators have with this method is that how do you know when and if students are watching and what happens if the students do not have access to internet at home? I will address both of those concerns in this blog post. First off, if students are not watching, they are not only hurting themselves, but the entire process and class. The focus of flipping or blending your classroom is not what they do outside the classroom, but rather the projects and experiences inside the classroom. By not watching the videos, they will have to do so instead of activities during that period. This negates the real purpose of flipping the classroom which is: More time in the classroom to engaging self experience activities. They will get time to watch these videos inside of school, or outside of school. They can go at their own pace and even re-watch them multiple times before tests, quizzes, or other assignments. An added benefit is that they can log in using their Edmodo accounts!

AuthorHere I will keep a journal of different things I have done in my class with some degree of success or failure. It is just important to document why something didn't work as opposed to why something did work. Archives
