Part IIThe
Teacher’s Experience
I make all of my own videos
O via Camtasia Studio Software

THE VIDEOS
How do I get my
students to
actually watch the
videos?
via
MATH XL
What if my
students don’t have
internet access at home?
O During Study Halls, part of Lunch, Before/After School:
O Students can use computer in my room, in the library media center, in one of two computer labs.
O Can burn DVDs upon request.
O Most, if not all, students have some sort of phone that will allow them to watch videos.
IN CLASS WORK
Worksheets that are “leveled” for Differentiated Instruction
“MUST – SHOULD – COULD”
I create all of these
Modified from former homework
worksheets
Our students do not have textbooks
IN CLASS WORKTime for Hands-On / Interractive / Meaningful Activities from sources like:
* education.ti.com
* math counts
* Dan Meyer 3-Acts
* Odyssey of the Mind
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS
The TI nSpire Navigator System allows me to constantly assess how my students are doing in class
*Screen Capture *Live Presenter*Quick Polls*Pre-prepared Self-Check
documents*Pre-prepared Study Card
documents
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS
Math XL allows me to check how my students did on homework BEFORE they enter class.
• If many students have struggled on the same question, I immediately adjust my lesson plan to address the problem & reteach as needed.
• If only one or two students have struggled, I sit with them individually during that class time to help them learn the material.
Still INTERESTED in FLIPPING?
My advice:
OStart the year off right!
Get Administra
tive Support
PARENT COMMUNICATION
*Letter sent at end of summer
*Details my Flipped Classroom
*Parents are asked to email me
after they’ve read it.
