  • “Knowing what you want to do is a long way from being able to do it,”
  • shifted his professional development workshops to emphasize practicing good teaching strategies rather than just thinking about them.
  • So often we ask people to do things that are outside their realm of possibility,” Lemov said. That’s a disservice to the learner because it gives the impression that the difficult task is insurmountable when in fact it was thrust on the person too quickly.

  • That’s not to say that failure is bad. In fact, Lemov councils that failure needs to be a much more accepted part of the teaching practice. “You can’t learn if you are afraid to fail,” Lemov said. “To really learn something teachers and students have to embrace the normalcy of falling down and picking yourself back up. But it needs to happen in a manageable way.”

    ""So often we ask people to do things that are outside their realm of possibility," Lemov said. That's a disservice to the learner because it gives the impression that the difficult task is insurmountable when in fact it was thrust on the person too quickly" - This makes me think about the times that we don't break down the learning for kids - particularly when we create project/problem based learning without thinking of scaffolding the learning...

  •   I useScreenr in conjunction with my iPad and the app Air Sketch to record the videos.  The students go to my website to view.
  • I know as I'm teaching, I get direct feedback from my students by looking at their faces and gauging comprehension. I, as a teacher, don't get that feedback as I'm designing and creating my videos.”
  • Helps kids who were absent, stay current.•Helps kids who don't get the lesson the first time in class.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Can attach Google spreadsheets or other online quizzes to check for comprehension, along with the video link sent to students
  • •I have a long way to go in my skill set in making the videos interesting (they, to me anyway, are really boring to watch).
  • I hope to continue to utilize this approach, but I'd like to find a more streamlined method. Right now I've looked mostly for lecture opportunities to "flip". The omission of these lectures in the classroom setting allows for more time to discuss literature and practice writing techniques.”
  • The videos are beneficial because they are easy to access and very easy to understand.  The textbook we use for an AP course is college level material- it is expected that students will be able to read at that level when taking an AP course.  However, many students are 'learning' how to read at that level. 
  • The videos are refreshing and entertaining, and may allow many to increase their literacy by having that 'access' to the text that may not have been available if they were to simply trudge through the work taking bland notes.”
  • without the proper methods to distribute technology and video information, the flipped model is doomed to fail.
  • As educators, shouldn’t our ultimate goal be to help students become “learners, who can learn for themselves, by themselves.”

    Shares both positive and negative examples straight from classroom teachers. Good food for thought and consideration if you're attempting the model!

  • So in this environment, it is necessary to teach students how to manage their digital resources and engage the Internet in a purposeful manner. I use this challenge as the opportunity to teach my students about digital citizenship and using and developing personal learning networks.
