Apps

I found two apps that might be worth looking into.  I'm playing with them now, so I don't know much.  Thought you folks might want to take a look as well. 


One is Nearpod and the other is Geddit.  Both are free.  Nearpod seems to be a way to control what everyone has on class IPADS. 


See you soon.

Please complete the survey to help us plan for our 2014-15 activities.

We have taken your suggestions from our final meeting in April 2014 and have put a program together for 2014-15 that will expand our skills in preparing and delivering flipped lessons.

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.

Socrative

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.
