Flipped Classroom Conference

Flipcon14

Above is a link for a conference that is in Mars, PA this June. Just came through my e-mail from the science list serve, so most of you have probably seen this. Just in case, thought I would post it.

Apparently there is a discount for WV teachers of $50 bucks off of registration.

I just found this and started to play around with it.  Thought you might want to check it out.

I have also seen that Kahoot lets you write equations now.

Hello all! Here is a link to a couple of flipped lessons that I just used in my Waves Unit:

Modifying the Flipped Classroom: The "In-Class" Version 

This Edutopia article highlights the challenges and strengths of an in-class flip model. It is worth a read if current methods are proving not as successful as you would prefer. My current group of students has challenged me to think of new ways to "flip" my classroom. What works this year, may not necessarily work the next.

Students go to a station for the lecture.

Efficacy, Adaptive Learning, and the Flipped Classroom, Part II

Although the article centers on higher education, the results of changing the class to a flipped model demonstrate that students perform better and withdraw less from the psychology course. For more information, read the previous post that follows the embed for how the department prepared for the changeover.

Some links of videos

 Below I added a couple of links for each type of video that I have been working on. I am doing my class a little different, so I won't have everything videoed. The first set has been my most successful types of videos. I have always had difficulty with figuring out what to do about labs and absentees. In the past, I just exempted them but was dissatisfied with the content they were losing.

Some links of videos that I have made showing the lab for absent students:
