My Favorite Flipped Classroom Video

I really love this video because it made me watch again and again. It was as if Katie was not in control of the video, but drove the message. I think very highly of her and am pleased to see her step back and process how to send messages through her creative lens; she inspires me! I want to take on this style of learning. I hope you will come with me, because I need supporters and people to bounce ideas off of. I like this video so much and want to encourage you so much to look into it that I will post the same post three days in a row. I hope you are inspired!

A Flipped Classroom: Revision

If you were paying attention you might have noticed I already posted this once, however, I added the wrong video. I have since gone back and corrected the mistake. But for all those that don't have time to go back and check those things I am reposting the blog today so you will receive the post in your feeder. I hope you enjoy the video; I know I do!

I have been researching "Flipped Classroom" and believe it may solve many of my problems in the classroom. Our 10th Grade teaching strategies are showing declining scores and I want to amp up and get "hands on," "dirty hands." I want to help the students with their work and see what they can do themselves up close. I can no longer rely on parental support, especially at the high school level. Parents claim to either not know the content or just don't have the patience, know how and time to spend with students. Its kind of sad, but I understand; especially for my classroom, where they are all struggling just to get to school due to life's struggles. Hopefully my tactics next year will remediate problems for me, for them and for their parents. Hopefully next year we will see change and better results.

Here is a video on what and why I need a flipped classroom:

Flipped Classrooms 3

I am excited because I have been talking with fellow teachers and the principal and vice principal about "Flipped Classrooms." They are where I initially heard of the idea and now find it popping up everywhere.  I like this teacher explaining recourse with the idea because she is honest and reserved (something I can relate with) . Take in her ideas and words, not her nervous tics. I love her vids and ideas!

Flipped Classrooms 2

Next year I want to "flip" my classroom. If you watched the first video from the previous post you know what this means. I have been researching how to best and most effectively do this and I have definitely appreciated this teachers videos. Enjoy!

Website Recommendation of the Day:TuneTune

Here is a website I'm sure many of you will be able to use and have been looking to find for quite a long time. Convert Youtube files into mp3's. Find the music and the versions (concert, class sessions, TedTalks, etc) into on-the-go listens for your ipod.
