I started the flipped classroom last week. I think things went fairly well. I like lists and bullet items so I will use that to let you know what happened.
Things that I am concerned about.
Things that I am concerned about.
- Students didn't watch the videos. I am trying an accountability method called 3PQ. They need to give me 3 points and a question about the video that they were supposed to watch. At this point I am not grading these. I will reference them if there are questions about why their grades are low. Today, we used paper and pen, but in the future I will probably have them send me a post on Edmodo. Some students are having difficulties accessing the videos. Apparently there is a bug with Apple products. I have encouraged them to come in and watch the videos when they have free time during the day or have me meet them at the school to watch the videos. I am trying to eliminate excuses.
Things that I am pleased about
- I have a voice at the end of the day. When I lectured all day, my voice was shot by the end of the day.
- We can do more hands-on activities.
- Students are more engaged in class
Tomorrow is the test over the first unit. Judging from how they have responded, I am hopeful for good results. It will be flippin' awesome!!!!
