vWelcome to #flipclass introduce yourself, subject, level, yrs flipping? Easter or April Fools? Tonight we’re talking about supporting students as they learn to take chances in flipped classroom. Thank you @MrsJHolman for tonight’s topic! #flipclass#flipclasschat
#flipclass Roy, from Bama. Flipped 4+ years. Now at district level. Easter celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, Savior to all who believe. April Fool's Day celebrates the resurrection of immature behavior. Easter wins by a mile.
Hello, Carly from University of Wisconsin-Platteville here! I will be starting my student teaching experience very soon! Can't wait to hear all about a #flipclass!
@ErinEdgington
Happy Monday! (and snowy spring break for some) we'll use Q1/A1 format to help keep the conversations moving more clearly. Don' forget the #flipclass and #flipclasschat as part of your tweet.
Q1 #flipclass gives Ts a greater opportunity to personally participate in the learning process during class time. How does has this changed your classroom? #flipclasschat
A1 I like being able to more of a mentor/guide, facilitating as the groups work. I help as needed but it is need to see the Ss run with what I've orchestrated for them. #flipclass
Q2 for the small but mighty group - Do you have a way to show students that the learning process (mistakes & successes) are at least as important as the grade? #flipclasschat#flipclass
A1: Through interactive individual or group activities, students can better grasp concepts and ask questions when they don’t understand and as a teacher I am able to clarify points of confusion head on. #flipclass
#flipclasschat A1: #flipclass completely changed my class. It allowed me to better know which Ss understand, to develop relationships, to do more fun things in class. The list just keeps going.

#flipclasschat A1 My Ss are developing Excel skills to become Excel Ninjas! Using T created videos to teach Excel and Ss use skills learned on an activity spreadsheet. This has given me time to work 1 on 1 with Ss when Qs arise during class #edim516#flipclass#cbintegratedtech
#FlipClass Hi! This is Subi from the secMAC program, University of Michigan (wolverine4life)!! 💙〽️💛currently a teaching intern (Chemistry) at an amazing school!
#flipclass#flipclasschat A2: No gimmicks, just make sure what you emphasize. Don't overemphasize formative grades when they are a means to overall understanding. Praise the right things. Set them up for success with what you say and emphasize.
Would love SBD. I really think if you keep that idea in mind, your grading moves towards evaluating what do the students know and what do they still need to learn. #flipclass
#flipclasschat A2 Gives Ss an opportunity to synthesize information on their own and try to apply the skills. This will instill the work ethic and the intrinsic motivation within the Ss. #flipclass#edim516
A2 I broke HS now college. Ss don't know what to think when I tell them to do the work (even after it's due) because it has value for learning, not just the grade hoop. #flipclass
Q3 How do you build trust with your students so they know when you offer choice or open-ended activities they can meet your expectations? #flipclasschat#flipclass
A2 A parent asked about extra credit and my automatic response was to talk about opportunities to improve. (p.s. if you don't do the 'real stuff' what exactly is 'extra credit'?) #flipclass
#FlipClass A2. I am a firm believer in students learning from their mistakes. To me, Science is all about exploration & I tell my students to rethink, reroute and conclude from their findings, whether right or wrong (1/2)
#flipclasschat A3 Respect, show interest in Ss interests, set the bar high, let Ss know what you expect, have them set their own goals too. Ss should take control of their own learning. #flipclass#edim516
#FlipClass (2/2) A lot of students carry the stress of ‘oh no I did this wrong’, as their mentor you need to tell them it’s ok to be wrong as long as they learn from it.
Inquiry labs are my favorite. (Physics is easier and safer than chem for this one.) Watching Ss struggle than conquer is amazing. #flipclass#flipclasschat
#flipclass#flipclasschat A3: Trust and high expectations are interesting qualities. A T can do all the right actions, but still not have the trust or the clarity of expectations.
Trust is built with love and expectations are built with persistence. Easier said. Harder done.
A3: Building relationships with your students is the most important thing I have learned throughout my pre-student teaching experiences. Give expectations from the start to eliminate confusion, be open to new ideas, and allow questions. #flipclass@ErinEdgington
A3 Clear expectations and the flexibility to let student rework when they miss the mark has been important in building trust needed to get Ss to try. #flipclass
Q4 - getting into the home stretch - Learning is about stretching, how do you encourage students to stretch themselves and take risks with “fuzzy” challenges (outside their comfort-zone)? #flipclasschat#flipclass
#flipclasschat A4: Model risk-taking. Praise risk-taking.
Having been in many T's classrooms, some of the best are risk-takers. Just doing #flipclass is a risk. We are the best T-group to foster risk-taking Ss.
#flipclasschat A4 Ss can create their own tutorial videos on a topic. Gives Ss a chance to be creative and learn by teaching. What's better than Ss teaching Ss? #flipclass#edim516
I like to do quick projects likeIron Chef Flash theater: students use ingredients to quickly write, stage, film a condensed version of a scene from our reading #flipclass
Q5 - we made it! Bravo! Teaching is also stretching, describe a good alternative form of assessment that is outside your comfort zone? #flipclasschat#flipclass
Q5 (once again w/ graphics) Teaching is also stretching, describe a good alternative form of assessment that is outside your comfort zone? #flipclasschat#flipclass
#flipclass#flipclasschat A5: I have had a hard time giving group assessments. That's out of my comfort zone. Though I dislike some group members carrying the group for others, it is possible for groups to advance better than individuals.
