Flipped: Trends, Tips, Tools, and Myths | Adventures with Technology - 0 views

      I am also very curious about the flipped model for my classroom to an extent. It feels hard to trust that my kiddos/parents will practice their rote knowledge, ex. math facts, outside of school when you sometimes don't see homework come back all year from individual students.  I have heard some interesting fixes to this, such as, having students perform the homework while you and the class do a fun activating activity such as a game, etc. This could work... but the question remains; what about kids that have no support at home, need help, and you can't give it to them because you are busy activating the thinking of 20+ other students?  This is also a problem with the current model of education as it stands, those students that don't receive supports at home need more attention, we are only one person, and can't make up for all the lost attention/time at home the way we'd like to. So how can you leverage the technology to help those kids and give them more supports? 
  • They did say that the students connect better when it is their own teacher. You would miss that connection if you just found videos from other people.

      Finding videos of other teachers doing your flipped lesson would feel impersonal, tend to alienate those students that are already weary of being connected in school, and most likely just have irrelevant material included amongst the important content. You can't tell a student, "Oh just ignore minute 2:30 to 2:45, they went out on a confusing tanget for a minute" because of their personality/teaching style. You NEED to have your own tangents/teaching style. It's what connects your students to you!

      If you are looking to use this material consistently with universal results, is it worth it to have the videos up to snuff?

      Would be interesting to give this a try with the 8th grade science teacher I work with. Seems like such a perfect fit for science. Do students need to prove that they watched the videos?
