Why Flip?
Comment on this post to discuss Kathleen Fulton's article as well as what you think are the important reasons to flip. Feel free to use the questions in the activity description on the Day 1 page as a guide, but don't feel obligated to answer everything. What's important is that you take some time to reflect on why flipping can be successful and open that discussion with your colleagues.

The article gives a clear overview of how flipping can work. However, what it does not address is that some kids don't have access to the Internet at home which then defeats the object of flipping!
ReplyDeleteI want to flip more in my classroom as i'm at a 1:1 school so the technology supports my vision. We also have a turnover of kids during the year and having resources in place facilitates their transition.
At the moment i've seen what flipping can do and am looking forward to seeing what else it can do for both the kids and me.
One of the bright spots for me is the freeing up of class time to allow for more 1 to 1 time with students or for more engaging class projects. I also like the idea of giving parents a glimpse into the classroom. Many examples that I have read about involve Math classes as it seems that it lends itself to flipped instruction. I would love to see and hear about flipped teaching in the humanities.
ReplyDeleteThe 10 reasons to flip make perfect sense to me, and we are fortunate that all our students have to come to school with a laptop. However, to echo the post above – it would be really useful to see examples of flipped teaching in language lessons.
