A flipped classroom is a teaching style in which the teacher assigns students lectures at home and helps them work through practice problems in class. It allows for a more interactive and involved classroom, but it does have some disadvantages. I had one class in high school that was flipped, and often students would put off the lectures so they didn't reap the benefits of this teaching style because they were not listening to the assigned lectures and fulling engaging in the class. For those who do watch the lectures and take notes, flipped classrooms can be a great advantage because it allows the students to think about concepts and have time to think of helpful questions for the teacher. This in turn provides a deeper level of understanding for the students. My highschool chemistry teacher used YouTube to post her videos. A link to her channel can be found here . But I've always found Khan Academy to have the most helpful videos in any subject I've studied. A link to Kha...

The website I found was that of a teacher named Mrs. Brunner who teaches 6th grade math at Lumpkin County Middle. The information she posts that is public is her schedule so you can come to her when she's free for help, supplies needed, reminders, daily agendas, and a link to a class twitter. It's convenient that the kids can see what they'll be doing each day of class with the daily agendas posted.

Since I want to do elementary I feel like children are more drawn to learning via tablets or technology in general. I've also been having to observe classrooms for another education class and found that ClassDojo is effective in reenfo...

I've enjoyed using Twitter in this class, but it is definitely challenging to keep up with. This is primarily due to the fact that I don't use Twitter on a regular basis, so I often forget or just happen to remember to check it twice a week. However, I have found it useful when I do remember to use it and have found interesting articles and been exposed to important issues because of it. I've learned about technological advances in classroom, and about different teaching methods that are less rigid than what I was used to. I've found that many classrooms that incorporate technology are more progressive and allow more student independence. Whether if it's allowing the students to learn about what they want or even just letting them get up and walk around the room without being called on. I've never created a webpage before so the mere idea of being assigned one for a grade was, needless to say, daunting. However, I found Weebly a very user friendly and easy to ...
