Parents and students I am sooooooo excited. Our classes will be flipping the script of traditional education/learning. We will be turning our classes upside down?!?!? Yes, 7-10 minute video lesson presentations or powerpoints posted on vikingxfactor and viewed at home ... and discussions/debates, homework/practice, performance/authentic assessments/projects at school.
For more information on Flipped Classrooms please see:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9VcdHybIWKRbGlDUTg0Z2NLdGs/edit
or as always email me or call me to discuss.
Why?
- To promote student independent learning
- To promote student responsibility
- To allow students to use tools that they already have and like to use, to now use for education.
- To increase the level of mastery of material
- and the list goes on and on for the benefits.
What's Needed?
A Computer, Tablet, Smart Phone, or access to the public library for computer usage. We will practice the flipped classroom in the classroom so that students will know all that is required of them.
Parents if computer usage is not possible at home please let me know.
Now let's FLIP the Script!
