That’s a good question Brent. I really think it depends on the specific topic that I am teaching. I found that I like the variety, along with many of the students but will find a balance so that students have some routine in their world.

I would be happy to share my findings at PD sessions. Let me know!

Socrative and EdPuzzle are both new tools to me and my exposure to them is thanks to Cohort 21! I have used Socrative in my other classes with great success but not with this particular group of students. It will be a first for me to try EdPuzzle– I am excited by the possibilities. In chatting with my students, many of them have been…Read more

Thanks for sharing that Garth. I will definitely use them.

Units that are highly skill based (electrochem and acid-base chem) have worked really well for me. Having videos for my entire course has been well worth the time. I don’t stress when kids miss class or need help– they have access to me teaching them 24-7!

You should definitely check out Celeste’s post (and the comments): http://cohort21.com/ckirsh/2014/12/14/i-have-a-crush-on-zaption/. Her post is partly responsible for inspiring my Action Plan.

There is no magic bullet in teaching. I believe that implementing the flipped classroom properly, like any teaching strategy is an art. The length of the videos and what they are expected “to do” while they are watching needs to be carefully…Read more

It’s comforting to know I am not alone but rather I stand along side other educators who are dipping their feet in and trying new tools in order to “level-up” on the IT front. I too was new to Twitter and have found such value in Tweetdeck (especially once I found the…Read more

My action plan will be centered around the flipped classroom and this is exactly the direction I am finding myself going. I am wanting to find ways to make the experience more interactive for students and to also have an easy way to track student engagement. I have been flipping my classroom for 5 years and it’s time to take it to…Read more
