I consider myself to be not just a teacher-researcher, but a teacher-experimenter and my classroom is my lab. My hypothesis is that a flipped classroom will allow my students to more effectively engage in concepts and better utilize classroom time in order to receive more support.<\/p>\n<p>Presently, I have recorded two trial videos on commas (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PktUxRt7IEE\">part one<\/a> and<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=49VeFp6yqK4\"> part two<\/a>) that I will assign my students to watch for homework next week. I have also created a <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/a\/bss.on.ca\/spreadsheet\/viewform?formkey=dDlFYW9SNHJqRy16NHRaR3dqdDM2MVE6MQ#gid=0\">Google Form<\/a> for them to complete after they have watched the video to show their consolidation of learning and more effectively allow me to group students for instruction: if they rock the mini-quiz, they may get put in a support group to simply check in and ensure they understand the new writing concept. If their quiz shows they need some support, they will be placed in a smaller group and receive more focused following up to review the concepts in punctuation.<\/p>\n<p>In order to slowly ease in to this experiment, I will start with basic writing concepts to allow their creative writing to improve through small-group workshops. I will collect feedback from students (and parents, if possible) to decide whether other subject areas (reading skills, social studies) could also get flipped.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.knewton.com\/flipped-classroom\/\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"colorbox-21031\" src=\"http:\/\/knewton.marketing.s3.amazonaws.com\/images\/infographics\/flipped-classroom.jpg\" alt=\"Flipped Classroom\" width=\"600\" height=\"2831\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Created by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knewton.com\/\">Knewton<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/columnfivemedia.com\/\">Column Five Media<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am curious about how to better serve my students\u2019 unique learning needs and how I can allow them to more effectively access the grade six curriculum.
