    Hi #flipclass! HS and (starting tomorrow) college physics, 7 yrs. Today I'm hoping to get my first few videos done for tomorrow. :)
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:05 PM EST
    Good evening Hogie. #flipclass

    Justin, WI, hs math, 3rd year #flipclass (6th overall), prepping the house for the baby coming in May
  • Coachadamspe Jan 15 @ 8:06 PM EST
    A1: Moving my class to a flipped environment. Using standards based grading. Allow retakes to show that there is no deadline in learning. #learnlap #flipclass #flippedlearning. #SBG
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:06 PM EST
    What is up @JJBackeberg? Baby in May? Oh my! #flipclass
  • CliffGoodacre Jan 15 @ 8:07 PM EST
    Where in Illinois Matt? Ever been to the IL Flipd & Blnd Ntwk conf? #flipclass

  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:08 PM EST
    #flipclass thank you @Coachadamspe for reminding me that I posted Q1 already toda, but here it is again...
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:09 PM EST
    I have indeed been to #ilfabcon. and will be attending June 20,21 in Huntley IL. Call for Proposals is open now. (shameless co-founder self promotion)....remember the #flipclass

    #flipclass strong answer out of the gate...retakes provide record of success when paired with re-teaching/troubleshooting
  • CliffGoodacre Jan 15 @ 8:11 PM EST
    A1: I really look to Ss for feedback...@GetKahoot @goformative to check for understanding and then asking Ss what what should I Stop Doing, Start Doing & Cont. Doing #flipclass
  • khogendorp Jan 15 @ 8:12 PM EST
    A1: some of it is anecdotal and based on student reactions &!questions they pose. #flipclass
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:12 PM EST
    @CliffGoodacre bringing a strong 2nd suggestion with powerful formative tools. #flipclass
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:13 PM EST
    @lanier_katiesue how are those videos coming this eveing for physics? #flipclass
  • CliffGoodacre Jan 15 @ 8:14 PM EST
    Sometimes the Ss engagement says all we need to know #flipclass
    In reply to @khogendorp
  • JJBackeberg Jan 15 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A1: typically listening to the Ss talk with each other, listen to the ?s they're asking #flipclass
  • lanier_katiesue Jan 15 @ 8:15 PM EST
    Powerpoints done, ready to video. Working through example problems so I can screen cast them. Been a while since I've done calculus. Going for done, not perfection. #flipclass
    In reply to @matthew_t_moore
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:15 PM EST
    A1 #flipclass on a daily basis I use student reaction and key conversations for in class evaluation of progress and tools like #edpuzzle et. al. for tracking independent work.
  • lanier_katiesue Jan 15 @ 8:16 PM EST
    A1 Like @JJBackeberg my daily evaluations are usually based on observation of Ss working and conversings combined with types of questions. #flipclass
  • Coachadamspe Jan 15 @ 8:17 PM EST
    Was there a #flipclass chat tonight? Is it every Monday?
    In reply to @matthew_t_moore
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:17 PM EST
    #flipclass I am of the opinion that many of us rely on experience and S reaction to gauge success and that is what led me to wonder about Q2
  • CliffGoodacre Jan 15 @ 8:18 PM EST
    So powerful to actually listen to their conversations and questions - the power of #flipclass providing the time to do so
    In reply to @JJBackeberg
  • CliffGoodacre Jan 15 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A2- Depends upon your definition of learning...knowing answers, or having grit to solve and work through any problem thrown your way #flipclass
  • JJBackeberg Jan 15 @ 8:19 PM EST
    #flipclass chat is happening right now. Every Monday at 7 pm central time.
    In reply to @Coachadamspe, @matthew_t_moore
  • khogendorp Jan 15 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A2: S reaction and interaction can certainly indicate learning, even if it can’t be measured numerically #flipclass
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:19 PM EST
    Ooops... yes every monday but we took a couple weeks off for the holiday. if you cant join tonigh I would still love your input to help us be better #flipclass https://t.co/WjrJuxm27T
    In reply to @Coachadamspe
  • Coachadamspe Jan 15 @ 8:20 PM EST
    Lets go. going to try to do #flipclass chat and #learnlap Chat
    In reply to @JJBackeberg, @matthew_t_moore
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:21 PM EST
    #flipclass am not saying we are doing S eval wrong I just wonder if I use the most effective methods.
  • lanier_katiesue Jan 15 @ 8:21 PM EST
    A2 Ss feeling successful is a little less measurable than checking student learning. I feel better with formative assessments for really knowing. Both are important to the learning environment. #flipclass
  • CliffGoodacre Jan 15 @ 8:22 PM EST
    I love formative assessments...progress check, room for improvement, and altered instruction to ensure ALL students are learning #flipclass
    In reply to @matthew_t_moore
  • CliffGoodacre Jan 15 @ 8:24 PM EST
    I employ an 'Ask 3 then Me' philosophy in my class...Ss cannot come up to me unless they ALL have the same ? #flipclass
    In reply to @matthew_t_moore
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:25 PM EST
    one thing #flipclass has challenged me to do is try and be reflective and examine my methods to see if I am really accomplishing or measuring what I intend.
  • khogendorp Jan 15 @ 8:26 PM EST
    Also allows for differentiation. #flipclass
    In reply to @CliffGoodacre, @matthew_t_moore
  • JJBackeberg Jan 15 @ 8:26 PM EST
    A2: By having the Ss do more of the work in class I feel like I have a better idea of their understanding level of the material. I can work more closely with those that don't seem to be "getting it" as much #flipclass
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:26 PM EST
  • JJBackeberg Jan 15 @ 8:27 PM EST
    I really would like to implement an SBG approach to really focus more on the learning the material and not just getting a grade #flipclass
  • khogendorp Jan 15 @ 8:28 PM EST
    Going to try this with student writings this semester. #flipclass
    In reply to @JJBackeberg
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:28 PM EST
    @Coachadamspe is listening in and is trying SBG apparently, would love to hear how that is going? #flipclass
    • JJBackeberg Jan 15 @ 8:27 PM EST

  • CliffGoodacre Jan 15 @ 8:29 PM EST
    Noise....lots and lots of noise - productive noise. Love when other Ts come and check on my room...just listen to what they are talking about is my response #flipclass
  • JJBackeberg Jan 15 @ 8:30 PM EST
    My wife tells me it's time to go shovel again. It was fun while it lated #flipclass I'll check back in later.
  • lanier_katiesue Jan 15 @ 8:31 PM EST
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:31 PM EST
    #flipclass "Good Noise" is a great indicator. I found myself in my lower level math class moving a smaller group of students from one S produced board example to the next and discuss/arguing about methods...IN LOWER LEVEL!! WIN
  • khogendorp Jan 15 @ 8:31 PM EST
    A3: This can be difficult to answer. Each activity is different w/different objectives. #flipclass
  • Coachadamspe Jan 15 @ 8:31 PM EST
    So this is first year doing 100% Standards based. Do get some push back but my biggest thing I like is that it is hard to get an A and equally hard to fail my class #flipclass
    In reply to @matthew_t_moore
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:31 PM EST
    Thank for stopping in @JJBackeberg #flipclass
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:32 PM EST
    while the former isn't a goal, the latter kind of is...it is demanding success and providing a means to achieve it. #flipclass
    • Coachadamspe Jan 15 @ 8:31 PM EST

      In reply to @matthew_t_moore
  • Coachadamspe Jan 15 @ 8:33 PM EST
    A3: Sometimes I am just looking for authentic feedback "That lesson was fun". I think another indicator has to be how well they retain the learning objective. #flipclass
  • lanier_katiesue Jan 15 @ 8:33 PM EST
    A3 Measuring successful learning in a group situation has been a struggle for me. Ask again tomorrow after I try one more thing along with the assignment. https://t.co/1Q3tcK3wIi #flipclass
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:35 PM EST
    that is a cool reflection matrix definitely worth a look. and each participant fill this out? #flipclass
  • khogendorp Jan 15 @ 8:35 PM EST
    A3: I’m trying pre & post self-evaluation on the standards of the unit. Each standard is on a 3-pt scale. #flipclass
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:36 PM EST
    #flipclass so this is not full SBG but is moving that direction?
    • khogendorp Jan 15 @ 8:35 PM EST

  • lanier_katiesue Jan 15 @ 8:36 PM EST
    Thanks! It's a combo of a couple methods for team based learning. There's some math that creates a multiplier for part of the grade on the activity. Could create some honest responses. #flipclass
    In reply to @CliffGoodacre
  • lanier_katiesue Jan 15 @ 8:37 PM EST
    That's the idea. I'll know more in a few weeks. #flipclass
    In reply to @matthew_t_moore
  • khogendorp Jan 15 @ 8:39 PM EST
    Yes. Looks like this: #flipclass
    In reply to @matthew_t_moore
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:39 PM EST
    #flipclass okay so I am using my special moderator powers to skip Q4 as we have already addressed it. and moved to Q5 to use my new matching Q5 graphic i made today
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:40 PM EST
    #flipclass is this your own initiative or also part of dist eval process? regardless it looks simple, clear, and easy to communicate progress for both T and S
  • lanier_katiesue Jan 15 @ 8:41 PM EST
    @CliffGoodacre @matthew_t_moore The math for the grade is based on above/below avg rating for each Ss Fink model https://t.co/KuIwqwOsJb #flipclass
  • khogendorp Jan 15 @ 8:42 PM EST
    Mix. The standards are the district’s but I put them into “I can” statements and created the self-eval instrument #flipclass
    In reply to @matthew_t_moore
  • khogendorp Jan 15 @ 8:43 PM EST
    Not sure. Haven’t finished unit 1 yet. Just started this 2 weeks ago. Lol #flipclass
    In reply to @CliffGoodacre, @matthew_t_moore
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:43 PM EST
    So kevin was ahead of the Q5 curve, but I must penalize him for not labeling his class long chart "A5" #flipclass
  • khogendorp Jan 15 @ 8:45 PM EST
    This is part of their study guide I’m giving Ss on day 1 of each unit. Page 2 = unit vocab terms, key people, etc. #flipclass
    In reply to @matthew_t_moore
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:45 PM EST
    A5 I haven't done it yet this year but every other flip year I have done a S1 and S2 student survey for their input (and just as often to spark private conversations) to have them check my progress. #flipclass
  • khogendorp Jan 15 @ 8:46 PM EST
    See, now I’ve learned #flipclass
    In reply to @matthew_t_moore
  • CliffGoodacre Jan 15 @ 8:46 PM EST
    A5 - I also look for the 4-C's of Flipped Learning in my classroom...Creativity, Collaboration, Choice, and Character #flipclass https://t.co/5igC0uaive
  • lanier_katiesue Jan 15 @ 8:47 PM EST
    A 5 My current baseline for this college course is there's no way I'm going to be the craziest college instructor these Ss will have. I'm hoping for some immediate feedback, after day 1 still have a class. :) #flipclass
  • CliffGoodacre Jan 15 @ 8:48 PM EST
    You've got me laughing so hard right now...you are so right...far worse out there that just 'preach' to the masses in class #flipclass
    In reply to @lanier_katiesue
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:49 PM EST
    @CliffGoodacre just took a peek at your blog, will have to read the full text later. do you post your blogs anywhere else (@flippedlearning network for example)? #flipclass
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:50 PM EST
    I did a pilot developmental math at the community college last semester (been there 12-13 years at night...T not S) and had 5 on the roster and 4 started the class..not a lot of room for casualties. #flipclass

  • CliffGoodacre Jan 15 @ 8:52 PM EST
    We need to remember most Coll. Ss learned via traditional learning...it's a learning curve for them as much as it is for us...Patience is key #flipclass

  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:52 PM EST
    BTW @CliffGoodacre since we don't have a big group tonight and two #ILfabCon founders on the thread. how did you hear about ILFABN? did you go last year? #flipclass
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:54 PM EST
    this was a concurrent 091 098 course in a single room with both courses flipped. I was the guy with the plates on sticks and thankful there were only 4 Ss. #flipclass

    #flipclass Exit ticket: What one method...forget that...go to this link to help us gather some info to make #flipclass better. https://t.co/WjrJuxm27T
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:55 PM EST
    as we end this evening please take a look at the survey @lanier_katiesue put together to help grow #flipclass and bring in ideas.
  • CliffGoodacre Jan 15 @ 8:57 PM EST
    Thanks for the great #flipclass chat tonight @matthew_t_moore and @lanier_katiesue ...always inspiring to learn and share
  • matthew_t_moore Jan 15 @ 8:58 PM EST
    #flipclass good night all
  • lanier_katiesue Jan 15 @ 8:59 PM EST
    @matthew_t_moore thanks for a great chat tonight! And thank you to my #flipclass friends who popped in to chat. Have a wonderful week!
