Physics-1 dimensional motion/kinematics unit link

Hello, the following is a link to the website for my entire physics 1, it can also be accessed on schooltube.com.  You will tell it you want point pleasant high school, then you can type in "marcum motion" and all of the videos are on schooltube.com. The weebly access is marcum-physics.weebly.com. Motion is typically the first unit.  Enjoy.

Flipped Classroom

I recently attended a attended a conference for incoming Special Education TIS's this week.  During our introductions I spoke about the Flipped Classroom and how it is being used in the classrooms.   It caught a lot of interest from a lot of people and it seemed like I was answering questions about the Flipped Classroom all week.  I am going to write a small article for the TIS and THAT newsletter in August.  If anyone has any input they would like to see in the newsletter let me know.  I enjoyed seeing Flipped Classroom becoming a more casual term from other teachers across the state.

Quizizz

I found what seems to be a "knock off" of Kahoot.  The reason I am mentioning it is that it seems to allow students to see the question on their device, which Kahoot does not.  I like Kahoot the most, however, I think this could be something kids could play at home as a review if that is something you might be interested in.

Flipping with Pedigrees & Karyotypes

Upon entering this class I have been performing a flipped lesson for past several years on pedigrees and karyotypes. The goal for the students is to learn how do read pedigrees and karyotypes and be able to create or analyze information related to pedigrees and karyotypes. Below I describe the lesson and provide documents that you can use to adapt for your classroom use.

Lesson Outline:

• Use the following sites for student to take notes about pedigrees and karyotypes. Pedigree & Karyotype Notes
• Pedigree: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/addiction/pi/
• Karyotype: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/chromosomes/ (use the three pages located under karyotype title)
• Pedigree Activities & Labs
• Pedigree Investigator
• What's your family health story
• Karyotype Activities & Labs
•  Making Karyotypes
• Genetic Disorders
• Genetic Disorder Project

This is a lesson I did for my kids

Snagit (TechSmith extension for Google Chrome)

I just found this and don't know if anyone else has seen/messed with it any.  It is an extension for Google Chrome from the folks at TechSmith (they make Camtasia).  Anyway, this is a free extension that will allow you to capture the screen and microphone if you add it to Chrome.  It is free and I'm reading some pretty good reviews from those more experienced than I.  I will say if it is from TechSmith it is likely to be pretty good as I am kind of a fanboy of theirs.

Thought I'd add yet another tool to our ever expanding utility belt.

Case Studies for Flipped Class

I don't know if any of you use the Buffalo University Case Studies, but they are great. They are typically for upper level high school or undergraduate classes.  However, with modification they have potential for just about anything.  I use them for Anatomy and Genetics.  They just emailed registered users today to let us know that they are now making case studies for the flipped class.  The first one launched today.  Thought I'd share that they are out there.  I will let you know how it works.

More tools for the toolbox

If you missed Saturday, there were some great new tools that we were able to add to our toolbox. There is a list on p. 7 of the first packet on the Challenger's Edmodo page, and then the second packet is chock full of good resources. Here is a list of some resources that Jill went over but are not listed on the packet:
Knowmia app (video making)
Quizlet (study helper)
Plickers.com (great for bell ringers-scan student responses with ipad)
Comic Heads app (students make comic strips)
Voki (use avatars to teach)
Superteachertools.net (random name generator, group maker, plus more)
Classtools.net (multiple resources: QR, name generator, etc.)
