Flip for Them

As I learn more about the flipped classroom model, the more I love it. Consider the following scenarios:

Danielle is a conscientious student that plays basketball and runs track. She works very hard, but often misses a portion of your 4th block class to leave for sporting events.

Bryce is well behaved, but often asks you repeat important points. He steadily copies notes during class, but often forgets the details.

I could go on, but can you see these students in your class?

Then you should flip your classroom.

Flipped learning is more than just lesson summaries, but a means to personalize learning. Google Classroom has made it easier than ever to share resources with different students, by simply selecting and deselecting names of students that are enrolled in your class.

Currently every state is feeling the effects of the teacher shortage. The Washington Post published an article on August 28, 2017 that highlighted the effects of the shortage. As class sizes rise, flipped learning may be your answer to accommodating all levels and meeting the needs of your students.

Getting started with Flipped Learning

Start small. Begin by utilizing videos from sources such as Youtube. Look for videos that give explanations and examples. Once you are comfortable with using videos, start creating your own. This can be done on your cellphone, tablet, or laptop.

Tools for Flipped Learning
*Screencastify
*Edpuzzle
*Google Classroom
*VideoNot.es
*TurboNotes

These are just a few tools to get started. If you won't try flipping for you, then try it for them.
