Q1: What's the most fun/interesting activity you've done in the last few weeks? #flipclass

KtBkr4 Feb 6 @ 8:14 PM EST

mine were due last week. I started timing projects so they are due beginning of next MP #flipclass

In reply to @MickieGibbs2, @JJBackeberg

I wanted to do some recording tonight too, don't know if i'll have time for that though #flipclass

In reply to @KtBkr4, @MickieGibbs2

MickieGibbs2 Feb 6 @ 8:15 PM EST

A1: fun: timing tongue twisters; interesting: started dabbling in some self-pacing (thx to y'all) #flipclass

thomasson_engl - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:16 PM EST

A1 "Teaching creative writing" isn't an activity. But it's a blast. #flipclass

KtBkr4 Feb 6 @ 8:16 PM EST

A1 getting my Ss reading/annotating w @activelylearn has been alot of fun! (ok ELA Teacher fun, but still....) #flipclass

In reply to @activelylearn

MickieGibbs2 Feb 6 @ 8:16 PM EST

My son's minor is creative writing. He would have loved a HS class. #flipclass

In reply to @thomasson_engl

MickieGibbs2 Feb 6 @ 8:17 PM EST

ELA teacher fun, math teacher fun; it all counts! #flipclass

In reply to @KtBkr4

#jealous FYI- I put in a request to teach Creative Writing if we ever add it back as an elective. #flipclass

In reply to @thomasson_engl

JJBackeberg Feb 6 @ 8:17 PM EST

A1: i didnt have time to do it this year, but usually at the end of 1st semester my geometry students make scale model projects #flipclass

JJBackeberg Feb 6 @ 8:17 PM EST

A1: they have to take measurements of real life object and then scale it up or down and build the end result #flipclass

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:17 PM EST

We made slide decks w/pictures of characters in Serial and had Ss find Confucius quotes that apply to those characters. #flipclass #hellafun

KtBkr4 Feb 6 @ 8:17 PM EST

I'm jumping back and forth between chatting & checking Ss work on @activelylearn #flipclass

In reply to @JJBackeberg, @MickieGibbs2, @activelylearn

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:18 PM EST

Q2: What are your students most excited about right now? School/your #flipclass specific or in general

KtBkr4 Feb 6 @ 8:21 PM EST

A2 excitement has waned. We are in research paper writing mode #yay #flipclass But The Odyssey is coming! I'm excited for that!

MickieGibbs2 Feb 6 @ 8:21 PM EST

A2: hard to get mine excited right now. Christmas a distant memory; spring break far away. But tomorrow an M&M activity! #flipclass

JJBackeberg Feb 6 @ 8:22 PM EST

A2: I'm working on getting a new batch of geometry students in the #flipclass mode. some are super intrigued by my #lightboard

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:22 PM EST

My Ss debated whether Bob in Outsiders deserved empathy today. I was like, "but he's a murder victim!" #Empathy #flipclass #spoilersSorry

MickieGibbs2 Feb 6 @ 8:24 PM EST

Yep! All educational, of course. ;) #flipclass

In reply to @KtBkr4

thomasson_engl - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:25 PM EST

A3 I am really enjoying the Freakonomics podcast series on the American Dream. #flipclass

MickieGibbs2 Feb 6 @ 8:25 PM EST

A3: I decided last week to renew my National Board Certification this spring, so weekend reading was all about the 4 components. #flipclass

In reply to @KtBkr4, @thomasson_engl

I think I probably need some ice cream #Fever #Prescription #MoreCow... never mind. #flipclass

In reply to @guster4lovers

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:32 PM EST

Q4: What else do you want to talk about? There are only a few of us here, so we can dig in on a topic if someone has one... #flipclass

KtBkr4 Feb 6 @ 8:33 PM EST

more cow bell??? #flipclass

In reply to @thomasson_engl, @guster4lovers

JJBackeberg Feb 6 @ 8:34 PM EST

How structured is your in-class time? I'm pretty structured with my Geo Ss, but I give my Pre-Calc kids a lot more free reign #flipclass

In reply to @JJBackeberg

thomasson_engl - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:36 PM EST

(It's because ice cream --> cow --> more cow... etc. made sense in my head. I'll show myself out.) #flipclass

JJBackeberg Feb 6 @ 8:36 PM EST

Thanks! I appreciate it! #flipclass

In reply to @classroomchef

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:36 PM EST

A4: My classroom time is pretty structured and synchronous. I have routines to start class & end w/Kahoot #flipclass

MickieGibbs2 Feb 6 @ 8:37 PM EST

A4: My class time is not super-structured. Same general flow each day. Some sort of starter, kids work at own pace once started. #flipclass

JJBackeberg Feb 6 @ 8:37 PM EST

My Pre-Calc isn't completely self-paced, all Ss take the unit exam on the same day, but how they arrive at that... #flipclass

In reply to @MickieGibbs2

MickieGibbs2 Feb 6 @ 8:38 PM EST

I need a good end to class. Kids are always working so hard, I hate to stop them to "wrap up." #flipclass

In reply to @guster4lovers

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:38 PM EST

A4b: I think a general structure only helps. Consistency of routine is good for most Ss #flipclass

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:38 PM EST

Q5: Sort of along the lines of the last question... #flipclass

MickieGibbs2 Feb 6 @ 8:35 PM EST

A4: I need tips & tricks from self-paced classrooms. Doesn't have to be textbook self-pacing. #flipclass

JJBackeberg Feb 6 @ 8:38 PM EST

point is up to them. I give them a "suggested pacing guide" but they are free to make their own adjustments #flipclass

In reply to @JJBackeberg

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:39 PM EST

I love Kahoot as a closing activity. Even 4-5 questions that summarise what we did in class #flipclass

In reply to @MickieGibbs2

MickieGibbs2 Feb 6 @ 8:39 PM EST

That's a good idea; something formative, easy to check, something fun. #flipclass

In reply to @guster4lovers

You can even use the same one all week, and include preview questions too #flipclass

In reply to @MickieGibbs2

MickieGibbs2 Feb 6 @ 8:41 PM EST

do you have enrichment/deeper stuff for the ones who finish before test day? #flipclass

In reply to @JJBackeberg

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:41 PM EST

The Ss in my class who work ahead can work on extra credit fun projects. Or do HW or read (both=good) #flipclass

In reply to @JJBackeberg, @MickieGibbs2

MickieGibbs2 Feb 6 @ 8:42 PM EST

I've been looking at some Desmos act for quick ones. Sometimes they need to read or do other work...#flipclass

In reply to @guster4lovers, @JJBackeberg

JJBackeberg Feb 6 @ 8:42 PM EST

i havent quite gotten that far yet...i need to work on developing some of those when I get some extra time #flipclass

In reply to @MickieGibbs2

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:42 PM EST

I've also let Ss build Kahoots that we use in class when they finish work early #flipclass

In reply to @MickieGibbs2, @JJBackeberg

In reply to @KtBkr4, @JJBackeberg

JJBackeberg Feb 6 @ 8:44 PM EST

Could have Ss research a related (or not) math idea that interests them? #flipclass

In reply to @MickieGibbs2, @guster4lovers

MickieGibbs2 Feb 6 @ 8:45 PM EST

Haven't even said "self-paced" - some will decide they can quit early each day. I want them to work "until" #flipclass

In reply to @KtBkr4, @JJBackeberg

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:46 PM EST

If the tasks are easily defined and built into the routine, that may help w/keeping on task #flipclass

In reply to @MickieGibbs2, @JJBackeberg

JJBackeberg Feb 6 @ 8:47 PM EST

Usually I have Ss work ahead if they know they have another test/project coming up... #flipclass

In reply to @guster4lovers, @MickieGibbs2

JJBackeberg Feb 6 @ 8:47 PM EST

i have no problem with them working on that stuff either #flipclass

In reply to @guster4lovers, @MickieGibbs2

MickieGibbs2 Feb 6 @ 8:47 PM EST

I agree. I just don't want them to play the system *too* much. #flipclass

In reply to @guster4lovers, @JJBackeberg

In reply to @guster4lovers, @MickieGibbs2

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:48 PM EST

There's room for fun and games, and if they're ahead, don't they earn a bit of autonomy? #flipclass

In reply to @MickieGibbs2, @JJBackeberg

MickieGibbs2 Feb 6 @ 8:48 PM EST

so important for my 8th graders to learn. A couple are there; most have no idea. #flipclass

In reply to @JJBackeberg, @guster4lovers

KtBkr4 Feb 6 @ 8:48 PM EST

many of mine try to end early too. Rather than start w "Do No" I've been ending class w"Do Later" #pun #flipclass

In reply to @MickieGibbs2, @JJBackeberg

guster4lovers - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:49 PM EST

Part of the problem is that they get spoonfed in so many ways that they struggle to manage time #flipclass
