Flipped Meeting Notes 9.10.12

In attendance:  Pam Benton, Esther Gonzalez-Wright, Linda Santiago, Jane Cato, Carolina Escudero, Marlene Ricalde

Reading:  Chapters 3 & 4

                Chapter 3 Highlights:  have students bring in/use their own electronic equipment, parents will learn alongside their children

Chapter 4 Highlights:  Take it slowly, give yourself time, don’t create your own videos at first—use what’s already out there, AFTER trying this out and determining what works and what doesn’t, spend a year recording all your live, direct instruction, use material you’ve already created, use conversational videos with several teachers

Student advantages:  time management, ability to speed up or rewind the lesson, individual attention from the teacher, just-in-time instruction, know and understand standards, benchmarks, objectives, etc., learning is the goal (not assignment completion), no busywork—standards mastery, improved behavior, fill in background knowledge, parents can watch/learn at the same time

Bright ideas:  Project-based learning, Student created content, using the videos during teacher absences and for long-term subs.  

Equipment needs:  computer, microphone, speakers, tablet, Camtasia software, video camera, humor/jokes (at least, Pam has all these things at her house)

Next steps:  Read chapters 5 & 6 for the next meeting and be thinking about what class and level you want to “flip”.  We’ll divide into groups next time and start locating resources.
