http://tcertc13.blogspot.com/2008_11_09_archive.html

Tuesday, November 11, 2008. I love all of the reasons this video mentions for introducing blogging into the classroom! However, I wonder what the best grade(s) is for this? The field trip that came to us! Our second graders met the owner and operator of Bug Safari last Thursday. He brought live spiders, scorpions and beetles with him, as well as dead specimens of butterflies, mantises (or is it "manti"? Having this kind of visual is great, and it's something that the kids will remember! Teachers Explorin...

Gibz Chats: Thing #7C..Google Reading

http://gibzchats.blogspot.com/2008/11/thing-7cgoogle-reading.html

Sunday, November 30, 2008. Thing #7C.Google Reading. For this blog post I chose an article about Google Chrome. As oposed to Mozilla's Firefox. The writer preferred Google Chrome for it's speed and potential. I decided to try the same experiment and see if I agreed. I really have not been impressed with Firefox, but my teens love it. So I want to be fair and get more input from them before I just remove it from my life.haha! December 1, 2008 at 9:15 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my page on.

Here is our final product. View my complete profile.

Reflections on a Semester of the Flipped Classroom. 1 I now have every lesson in the course in video format. 2 About half of my class really likes the Flipped Classroom model. If I was to guess, these were the students that are doing well in the course. 3 The Flipped Model allowed students to progress at their own pace. Some sped through the video lesson.
