Flipped Learning
Q:What is one tip I got from Todd?
A: One tip I got from Todd was that we should keep the parents involved. I stand by this because when the students aren't in your class who is the one to reinforce them? The parents of course. The parents are the ones that will or should have your back as the teacher when it comes to homework and such type of assignments. Also by keeping the parents involved in the online activities they can monitor how their children are online. Todd's examples of the Facebook page for parents and the twitter for his students give's the parents the comfort-ability of knowing exactly what is going on in class.
Q:What is one question you have for Todd?
A: I remember in the video when Todd called his student out on having an Xbox and the student claimed it didn't play DVD's. Of course we all know that it does. However, what lengths should a teacher take in-order to provide the proper technology for his or hers students?
Q: After watching the Webinar are you more inclined to try and flip your classroom? Why or why not?
A: I think the idea of a flipped classroom is great and ambitious. However, I don't think that a flipped classroom is the greatest idea because as a student I know how easy it is to take advantage of any assignment that is due online. I feel as though it would be wisest to keep some of the traditional teaching techniques as part of the class instead of going completely online.
Some teachers use a modified flipped classroom by only flipping a lesson once a week or maybe for a certain unit of instruction. It's a great way to ease into it.
