Yes, they are over booked, which it typical for all of us adults as well...We learn to manage our time, use time wisely during the day, and organize our activities so that we can get our work done. That is the real world they will soon be in. Flipping does not need to be the "major teaching tool", but it is certainly more helpful for the student when they can save these videos, replay them before tests, pause them when they need to and go back when they need to. While you present a lecture in class, can the student rewind you when they miss something or zone out? This video example was not a good example for flipping. The videos should be straight forward lessons.. not a class interaction where they are only hearing one side of the conversation...I was lost and bored listening to this. A straight forward lesson with a connected activity will also allow the teacher to differentiate easier inthe class the next day so the ones who do get it aren't bored. When done right, Flipping is an awesome learning tool and yes, even for AP students.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408203524192707356.post-57001542157684239862012-08-26T03:27:20.105-07:002012-08-26T03:27:20.105-07:00Totally agree with you on the flipped classrooms f...Totally agree with you on the flipped classrooms for calculus. The typical kid in my calc class will go to sports, newspaper, or a job after school. Maybe, if lucky, they will be done by 6. The kid grabs dinner and goes to a class officer, NHS, Student Advisory Council, or some other meeting. By 9 they are doing homework for their three AP courses. Of course, they still have enough energy to learn a totally new concept in calculus via a video that they can't ask questions of. Yeah, right. Even if they don't fall asleep, how many will "get it" ? The next day I'll have to go over it anyway for those (most of them) who didn't get it or didn't do it, leaving the ones who did totally bored. I think videos are great for review, extra help, or the kid who was absent, but certainly not as the major teaching tool for high school kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
