As my flip progresses students are getting the hang of it and offering suggestions. Imagine that students having a say in how they learn or how they are taught (sarcasm). They are now asking do I have to check the website. My response is you should be checking the website everyday. They are taking to it pretty well. But as I said yesterday there will be train wrecks but we can even learn from the wrecks.
Some of the comments from students pertain to the videos. They do not want to see my face, I need to speak up and putting music in the background helps with the material. I learned this from another flipper Krista Price of Oxford Community Schools (Check her resources out at www.kristaprice.com and www.youtube.com/kristadawnprice or on iTunesU at MiLearn). Many students like that they can go to a central spot and find out what they missed when they were absent.
I knew this going in but flipping involves a lot more work and planning. However, what we do in class is taking on more meaning for the students. Finally, I am finding flipping is reinvigorating my teacher and my students.
