I need to be more purposeful in my use of video and not assume the videos are going to be engaging lectures just because they're in a different format.Amanda Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10761963395018749172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855265565742759541.post-14699958755463776552013-07-08T14:18:08.944-07:002013-07-08T14:18:08.944-07:00Motivation is a huge issue with high school studen...Motivation is a huge issue with high school students. Finding ways to wake up some of that wonder and curiosity they experienced when they were younger is essential in science classrooms. I think videos are another great way to capture this.Amanda Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10761963395018749172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855265565742759541.post-73427398014229324112013-07-08T14:15:11.920-07:002013-07-08T14:15:11.920-07:00I also have a lot of synchronous activities that I...I also have a lot of synchronous activities that I'm not ready to give up. I'm beginning to think that mastery in my classroom will focus more on "mastery," i.e. making sure all of my students master the objectives, and less on being asynchronous in the accomplishment of that mastery. I agree that inquiry and mastery learning don't have to be mutually exclusive, but they can certainly get in each other's way.Amanda Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10761963395018749172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855265565742759541.post-37245390187541447302013-07-07T20:13:23.838-07:002013-07-07T20:13:23.838-07:00I love reading your thought process, especially si...I love reading your thought process, especially since I've also worried about creating videos or moving to a mastery model for EVERY lesson. You're right - we as teachers should be pulling out the best tools for the job from our tool belts, depending upon the content, the students, the class, and the goal. Sometimes, that means students learning independently for a mastery model, but sometimes, the class has to come together for a debate or talk. The white paper by Noora Hamdan and McKnight pointed out that flipped teaching shouldn't mean that we create video lectures - possibly more boring than we'd be lecturing in front of class. On the other hand, videos of science experiments can be much more engaging and enlightening than, say, a textbook or lecture description of the experiment. So there's a definite place for videos.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02902923545293330171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855265565742759541.post-9084961740245611882013-07-07T13:55:49.190-07:002013-07-07T13:55:49.190-07:00Thanks for sharing your thoughts! And I love the ...Thanks for sharing your thoughts! And I love the pictures you drew to illustrate your thoughts! I had many of the same responses to Ramsey's episode of the podcast. It challenged some of what I've been doing in my class for a couple years, but I think his idea that we as teachers need to create in our students a NEED or DESIRE to learn content is so important -- whether you Flip or not. Flip is just a tool that enables you to help you students do that.Jill Heatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13358401306060101013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855265565742759541.post-88021033352828994102013-07-07T13:17:55.936-07:002013-07-07T13:17:55.936-07:00I was also struck by Ramsey's comment about be...I was also struck by Ramsey's comment about being a slave to a type of pedagogy. Even as I am planning next school year, I'm reminding myself to focus on the course objectives and think about which tools will get me there, rather than thinking of the tools first. Although I'm not sure EFA and Mastery are mutually exclusive - hopefully I can develop some effective mastery learning cycles to incorporate the self-paced rework until mastery with the inquiry and explore before direct instruction. But I am nervous about giving up some synchronous activities like Socratic Seminars and whole class skits to act out complicated processes. Still trying to work that part out. Anyhow, thanks for sharing. Very informative as always!

For many teachers new to Flipped Learning, Explore-Flip-Apply and the idea of inquiry is unimaginable. However, the flipped classroom has often been described as a bridge to something better... :-) So happy for you!!kadanielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07592872680729058257noreply@blogger.com
