-The first I ever heard of the flipped class was this infographic (that I found on Pinterest):
-I attended a one-day workshop from the Institute for Educational Development by Kevin Steele.
-Apart from that, everything has just been my own research online, which makes sense since the flipped class really is a grass roots initiative. There is very limited research out there. The best place to learn about this format is from other teachers who do it.
-The thing for foreign language is, there are not that many flipped teacher role models out there to follow. The ones I started with were Heather Witten and Ellen Dill. Looking at their stuff gave me enough to go on to start thinking concretely about my own class.
My Flipped Class Infrastructure
How I Make My Videos: I make my videos (so far) using my school-issued Chromebook. I did this intentionally because down the road I'd like to see students making their own videos, and I want to prove how "do-able" it is. I found it helpful to get a basic USB snowball microphone to improve the sound quality.
Where I Post/Index My Videos: All my videos go on my YouTube channel. I also index them by chapter/topic and post links as assignments in Haiku. Haiku Learning is the class management system that our school contracts with. It's comparable to Blackboard, Moodle, etc. but it's part of the Google suite.
Keys I've Discovered So Far:
- Plan a unit at a time and give kids that plan.
- Hold firm on expectations
