Reflections of a High School Math Teacher: Using Flip Videos in High School Math Class - 3 views

  •  
    Interesting approach to using flip in a mathematics classroom. I love having students create product rather than just solving problems. I would even like to see students create their own problems in the future.

    Discussion of the idea of the flipped classroom. Doesn't just introduce one approach but a variety of well thought out options, and how some schools are scaling the model. Musallam is worth reading.  I do have concerns that Hooper's videos are 25-30 minutes long in his model. I think he's missing the point as far as chunking information in smaller components and letting students interact with the content.  Not a perfect model but it is an innovation, and both teachers do a much better job of using key vocabulary well, introducing multiple representations intentionally and connected, and providing guides for students. Much better than I think Khan does in his videos.

    Great new site for creating flipbooks. Students can create their own or teachers can create them for students to read and take notes.

  • Getting students engaged in 400-year-old drama is usually a challenge, to put to mildly. But in Seale’s classroom, classic literature gets the Web 2.0 treatment. During Romeo and Juliet, for example, Seale used Ning.com to create a class-only social media group called Verona Lifestyles, where her students, posing as characters in the play, created profiles and posted updates and discussion forums. “Posting in character got them more engaged,” explains Seale, “and gave them confidence to tackle the language. They even took a stab at writing couplets and shared them on Ning
  • “It’s about initiating higher levels of engagement,” says Seale, “and making the learning more self-directed and self-motivated.” “Let’s face it,” she adds, “being literate today means more than reading words on a printed page and writing an essay.”
  • Digital technology, however, still suffers from an image problem. To their more boisterous critics, blogs, video games, wikis, and other social media have stunted the attention span and diluted the concentration of an entire generation. What’s more, Web sites provide not knowledge, but the lesser currency of “information,” broken down into bytes to be skimmed over and hyperlinked.

  • Consequently, say the detractors, young people no longer have the time or inclination for books—not to mention proper grammar, smart writing, or reasoned thought.
  • “Kids have the passion, the technical know-how, and the creativity,” says Hogue, “but they need educators to teach them how to use digital media constructively and responsibly. There’s a huge difference between blogging for a friend or posting an update on Facebook and writing for a prospective employer.”
  • Instead, her students take To Kill a Mockingbird to the blogosphere and discuss the novel with a ninth-grade English class in Illinois, led by a teacher Seale met via Twitter. She also plans to have her students use Flip video cameras to record each other acting out different parts of the novel as they explore character motivation and perspective.
  • The key for students today, says Hogue, is the “authenticity” of the audience—in other words, creating for and sharing with someone other than the teacher. “Students are reaching literally global audiences online,” she explains. “Why would they be motivated to write an essay for only one person, who is only reading it because it is his or her job?”
  • In other words, Johnny can post, friend, update, and tweet, but he still can’t read.
  • a ninth-grade English teacher in Bryant, Arkansas, was confident that her students were enjoying the unit on Romeo and Juliet. But she didn’t realize the extent of their enthusiasm until the day she pulled out an audio CD of actors performing the Shakespearean classic.

    Great little conglomeration of Web 2.0 tools and how they might fit into Bloom's digital taxonomy. Worth sharing with anyone looking for a way of deciding what tools they want to let students use and for potential purposes.
