    A1 My understanding is good. Comfort okay. I don't assign a lot of homework, so....#engsschat
  • forginghistory Jan 29 @ 7:06 PM EST
    #engsschat I am comfortable with flipped classroom. The only problem that I have with it is that I do not have enough resources to accommodate all of the differentiated skills I want to work with.
  • DarrenHause Jan 29 @ 7:07 PM EST
    A1: I've tried flipped classroom several times. I love it but yet need to learn how to overcome barriers/challenges.. #engsschat #sschat #edchat
  • Mrjonresendez Jan 29 @ 7:07 PM EST
    A1: I am quite comfortable with the techniques of the Flipped Classroom. I used flipping occasionally to mix things up! I have not completely flipped my classroom. #engsschat
  • MzWilks Jan 29 @ 7:07 PM EST
    A1 I’m pretty familiar with the concept of flipping the classroom (video lectures for homework and in-class ‘homework’/projects) I think it’s great for project based activities. #engsschat

    I know, right?? Flipping seems like mostly a STEM method, but it can be just as great for humanities. Here is a description of my approach: https://t.co/qvNHYpHNYw #engsschat

  • MrPStrunk Jan 29 @ 7:08 PM EST
    A1: My current understanding is that students watch some sort of video and then when they come to class there is some sort of engaging activity that has students apply that knowledge. Though I will say my understanding of flipped classrooms is limited! #engsschat

    A1: I understand the concept of the flipped classroom, but I'm not sure I would like to implement it into my future classroom. #engsschat
  • classroomtools Jan 29 @ 7:08 PM EST
    If you lecture, you video record your lectures, put them online, and have students watch them outside of class. If you don't lecture, yours is a more interesting question. #engsschat

    A1 Flipped classroom became "the next big thing" while I was a tech specialist, so I'm familiar with the concept and the tech side of who it's done. I supported other Ts who were trying it, but I've never put it into practice in my own classroom. #engsschat

    It was my job to help Ts feel comfortable taking the plunge, but I was always careful not to push Ts too much to try new ideas and gave them space to make it their own. #engsschat

    I have flipped my social studies class for the past 4 years. Any lecture I did in front of the class is now done on a video or set of videos no more than 5 minutes long. Ss and I both like doing in class instead of watching. #engsschat

    In my experience most Ts who try this, incorporate flipped learning in their classroom. I feel issues with tech, not wanting to be on camera, upfront work deters a lot of Ts #engsschat

  • DrEllsworthOPS Jan 29 @ 7:15 PM EST
    A1: Flipped makes sense, but I'm a huge fan of letting kids be kids and not giving any "homework." Being in school 40 hours a week and then go home and be expected to do more just doesn't sound right to me. I think we need to rethink schooling. #sschat #engsschat
  • emily_segrest Jan 29 @ 7:15 PM EST

  • MrPStrunk Jan 29 @ 7:15 PM EST
    A2: Well I tried to use a youtube video to install a new light fixture... I had to call an electrician. Though that may be more of a statement to my lack of handyman talents. I enjoy watching DIY videos from time to time though! I find them insightful! #engsschat

  • ItsMrsDuffy Jan 29 @ 7:16 PM EST

    A1: a critical component to the flipped classroom is the connection between the flipped part and what gets done in class. The challenging part of learning happens in the classroom - the flipped part is the gathering of info/knowledge to complete the harder tasks. #engsschat
  • BrianHerb17 Jan 29 @ 7:17 PM EST

    A5. This should vary from day to day, week to week, and year to year. Don't do the same things each year. You have to challenge Ss to flatten the walls and not be confined to a classroom - and you have to do that yourself, as an educator #engsschat

      #engsschat Ss need their social studies teachers to focus on skills in their classrooms. Learning about the facts of the time periods can mostly be accomplished through videos and readings. Working through primary sources, creating arguments, and debating are more important

    A6 a huge barrier I find is the idea of perfection. Sometimes perfection prevents good ideas from taking shapes. If progress were the focus, then things might be a bit easier to do. Start small, and find the easy wins! #engsschat
