Flipping Out!

So I think I want to flip my classroom.

See what it is all about! Friday Institute on What is a flipped classroom

Seems neat right? I went to a training put on by my county and Discovery Education on Saturday and Lodge McCammon was the keynote speaker. He gave a really interesting talk but the most exciting part for me? How efficient flipping is. He gave this great example of a lecture he used to give that took about 70 minutes in class which boiled down to about an 8 minute video.

So I went home and tried it and made a pretty plain jane video on Heat Flow. I know - basic - boring - and it is weird how I talk out of the side of my mouth... (much more noticeable in the next video).

They are doing an online training so I applied for a spot! I made another video for that (this is the obvious side of mouth talking... have I really always done that? or is it just an under pressure type thing?) about why I want to flip.

Are you flipping? Are you interested? What made you do it/ What is stopping you from trying it?
