I think tonight's #flipclass chat will be a little shorter than normal due to Life Getting In the Way for your mods. Just FYI

But welcome to #flipclass chat!

Q1: How's it going? How is life? How is your #flipclass? What kind of questions or confusions or topic are playing on you lately?

Seriously. #flipclass

In reply to @thomasson_engl

MickieGibbs2 Feb 20 @ 8:14 PM EST

Teaching AP Bio this year, most stus starting to really feel the crunch. Class is...happening. #flipclass

arnoldscience Feb 20 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: Just trying to adapt to different needs of Ss in front of me at my school. Doing CP/Honors in same room has been a big change #flipclass

cjcrawcooper Feb 20 @ 8:16 PM EST

good to hear. I am going to start w/ a checklist I think #flipclass

In reply to @arnoldscience

bamaguy1218 Feb 20 @ 8:17 PM EST

A1: Can no longer use Notebook files for my #flipclass vids (unless I pay more $). Getting used to Google slides. Change is hard.

thomasson_engl - Moderator Feb 20 @ 8:17 PM EST

It's certainly a transition. #flipclass

In reply to @bamaguy1218

MickieGibbs2 Feb 20 @ 8:17 PM EST

Which one? First "aha" was students coming to class with the "pump primed." Being ready to GO was great. #flipclass

In reply to @JJBackeberg

thomasson_engl - Moderator Feb 20 @ 8:18 PM EST

I also learned (and taught PD) https://t.co/AroPqQuQU9 - which lets you broadcast to any other computer remotely + markup slides #flipclass

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 20 @ 8:18 PM EST

Q3: If you could change one thing about the obstacle you mentioned in Q2 (or even if you didn't name one!), what would it be? #flipclass

JJBackeberg Feb 20 @ 8:19 PM EST

A2: Ss feeling like they don't need to put in the work. it's not just about watching the videos, you need to practice the skills #flipclass

MickieGibbs2 Feb 20 @ 8:19 PM EST

A2: Figuring out the self-pacing. Trying to move more vids to in-class w/o sacrificing total time. #flipclass

bamaguy1218 Feb 20 @ 8:19 PM EST

#flipclass A2: Don't make as many vids now. Since I make so few, I find that I scrutinize them way more than when I was mass-producing them.

thomasson_engl - Moderator Feb 20 @ 8:20 PM EST

Have to remember it's human to want greatest benefit for least amt of work. Finding balance is hard. #flipclass

In reply to @JJBackeberg

arnoldscience Feb 20 @ 8:20 PM EST

A3: not sure of one obstacle per se, I just need to adapt a little faster...hard to do when overloaded I think. #flipclass

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 20 @ 8:20 PM EST

In other words, what would make your challenge/obstacle from Q2 easier? #flipclass

MickieGibbs2 Feb 20 @ 8:20 PM EST

I need to work with a checklist next. #flipclass

In reply to @cjcrawcooper, @arnoldscience

bennettscience Feb 20 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3 I think a lot of my obstacles are because I really *stink* at setting up normal class routines. #flipclass

MickieGibbs2 Feb 20 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3: I would make blocked math classes. #flipclass

bennettscience Feb 20 @ 8:21 PM EST

I tend to skip modeling positive action (active listening, active reading, etc), and it comes back to bite us later. #flipclass

arnoldscience Feb 20 @ 8:22 PM EST

I couldn't agree with you more. Esp hurts me in courses where I've had kids 2 or 3 times before #flipclass

In reply to @bennettscience

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 20 @ 8:22 PM EST

Do you stink at it, or do you need more practice at it? #ReformedRoutinePracticionerHere #flipclass

In reply to @bennettscience

MickieGibbs2 Feb 20 @ 8:22 PM EST

Yes. #flipclass

In reply to @cjcrawcooper

JJBackeberg Feb 20 @ 8:23 PM EST

I'm not fully self-paced (everybody takes test on same day)...I give Ss a unit checklist w/ a suggested pace guide #flipclass

In reply to @MickieGibbs2

bennettscience Feb 20 @ 8:24 PM EST

.@guster4lovers It's been a consistent weakness. I struggle with feeling overbearing and letting stus pick up their end. #flipclass

In reply to @guster4lovers

MickieGibbs2 Feb 20 @ 8:24 PM EST

I think that's where I'm headed. I like the test on same day idea. Do you have enrichment for the fast ones? #flipclass

In reply to @JJBackeberg

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 20 @ 8:24 PM EST

Q4: What do you need help with, or what do you need to figure out in order to move forward in your #flipclass?

bennettscience Feb 20 @ 8:24 PM EST

.@arnoldscience Do you feel like it's worse in your AP classes? #flipclass

In reply to @arnoldscience

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 20 @ 8:24 PM EST

I totally feel you - when I moved down to 6th, I realised that routines=life. Before? HATED THEM. #flipclass

In reply to @bennettscience

arnoldscience Feb 20 @ 8:25 PM EST

AP Chem I feel pretty good about, but in APES, I definitely need more tightening up in there. #flipclass

In reply to @bennettscience

JJBackeberg Feb 20 @ 8:25 PM EST

Not right now i don't...that's something i'm going to spend a lot of time on this summer. one step at a time #flipclass

In reply to @MickieGibbs2

bennettscience Feb 20 @ 8:26 PM EST

Even at HS, routines are very, very important (I'm learning). @flippedschool tried to teach me that years ago. #flipclass

In reply to @guster4lovers, @flippedschool

arnoldscience Feb 20 @ 8:26 PM EST

It was our decision totally to try to have more equity...my big push. But I haven't adapted as well as I'd like #flipclass

In reply to @cjcrawcooper

bennettscience Feb 20 @ 8:26 PM EST

.@guster4lovers I even wrote about it in 2013. Still need to learn the lesson. #flipclass

In reply to @guster4lovers

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 20 @ 8:26 PM EST

Routines create more emotional&mental space for me. Easier to lesson plan that way too #flipclass

In reply to @bennettscience

.@arnoldscience How much do you think the content plays into it? #flipclass

In reply to @arnoldscience

JJBackeberg Feb 20 @ 8:27 PM EST

That's pretty much where I'm at too. I feel a guilty about it and really want to develop more enrichment activities #flipclass

In reply to @MickieGibbs2

MickieGibbs2 Feb 20 @ 8:28 PM EST

I also want "other path" possibilities, but I think I'm a ways from that right now. #flipclass #SelfPaceNewbie

In reply to @arnoldscience, @cjcrawcooper

arnoldscience Feb 20 @ 8:28 PM EST

For me, in that case, not content, is my exp in that course & fact that in APES, some kids on their 4th yr of me #flipclass

In reply to @bennettscience

MickieGibbs2 Feb 20 @ 8:29 PM EST

I also need more check-ins/formative assessment after each skill. #flipclass

In reply to @JJBackeberg

bamaguy1218 Feb 20 @ 8:29 PM EST

#flipclass A4: I know there are lots of video tools out there that would benefit me. Maybe I should learn at least a couple of them.

In reply to @arnoldscience

Right now, I have a quiz after every 2 sections, but i want to move towards more SBG ideas #flipclass

In reply to @MickieGibbs2

arnoldscience Feb 20 @ 8:30 PM EST

it is definitely a tough choice...really depends on kids more than me, some can, some can't handle #flipclass

In reply to @MickieGibbs2, @cjcrawcooper

arnoldscience Feb 20 @ 8:31 PM EST

I have def routines, but in some classes where I've had kids before, I slip...a lot... #flipclass

In reply to @guster4lovers, @bennettscience

#flipclass Tending to be a little disorganized, I find myself creating structure for my work in the summer. Helps me for the school year.

MickieGibbs2 Feb 20 @ 8:31 PM EST

#flipclass is an ongoing process for me...never finished learning and making changes

In reply to @MickieGibbs2

MickieGibbs2 Feb 20 @ 8:33 PM EST

I figure warm-ups & exit slips can be some of the checks; those ahead will benefit from the "review." #flipclass
