Some days I start the class with some cumulative review exercises to refresh the students knowledge of previous content. Then they work on the assignment. <br />Some days I start with a problem solving activity that may or may not be related to the current topic we are studying. Some days we go straight to the assignment. Sometimes I notice part way through class that a large number of students are struggling with the same concept. So, I will hold a 2 min mini-lesson for those students.<br />I do not really check to see if the students have watched the video. In my Gr.11 math class, if they have not watched the video they cannot even start the assignment because they are lost. So, sometimes a few students pull out a laptop from the cart in my classroom and watch the video in class. This means less time for them to work on their assignment in class but they quickly figure that out.<br />I would suggest you check out this website<br />http://mast.unco.edu/programs/vodcasting/<br />It is created by the pioneers of the flipped classroom Jon Bergman and Aaron Sams. It will answer most of the questions running around in your head.Terry Kaminskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15845242537160632505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463782369906950859.post-51411262378738728862011-10-30T05:57:59.423-06:002011-10-30T05:57:59.423-06:00sra_drew,
If you have access to a cart of laptops,...sra_drew,<br />If you have access to a cart of laptops, bring it into your classroom and have the students watch the videos in class. Once they start watching the videos they will hopefully see the power of watching the videos and start watching them at home.Terry Kaminskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15845242537160632505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463782369906950859.post-3811007624065173362011-10-27T19:38:22.426-06:002011-10-27T19:38:22.426-06:00I am flipping my 8th grade Spanish class.

We struggle in our building taking 5th place to every other class, so kids aren't watching the videos. <br /><br />They have come up with a million reasons not to watch, so I feel like I am back to square one. I think that they just never felt the need to care, and they still don't. Chopped liver city. I see that most teachers flipping are senior high classes. I wonder if that's the difference.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00656946931483561222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463782369906950859.post-54137492515553929242011-10-27T17:28:54.981-06:002011-10-27T17:28:54.981-06:00I am also getting ready to flip my classroom.

It needs to be more than just giving them the normal homework assignment they would have received. What does a typical day look like in your class? How do you differentiate (do students get different assignments)? How do you know they watched the video? Have you had students that choose not to watch them on a regular basis and how do you/ would you handle that? I know, lots of questions. Thanks and I look forward to reading your response.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463782369906950859.post-23521684778454010742011-09-10T20:29:28.931-06:002011-09-10T20:29:28.931-06:00Amanda. Thanks for sharing your flipped classroom...Amanda. Thanks for sharing your flipped classroom experiences. Will pass on your blog url to my science teachers. I do hope that other teachers reading my blog will give flipping their classroom a try. It will change their teaching lives for the better.Terry Kaminskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15845242537160632505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463782369906950859.post-744462728979963422011-09-10T19:09:01.350-06:002011-09-10T19:09:01.350-06:00I really enjoyed reading this post - it was like I...I really enjoyed reading this post - it was like I was reading my own diary of the past three weeks in my flipped classroom. I am flipping my Honors Bio and AP Bio classes and LOVE the ability to have one-on-one time with my students each day. I also get to do a lot more in-depth and real-world labs. <br /><br />I hope so many more teachers read this and try the flipped model. I will certainly keep reading your updates.
