I am so excited! I just found out that I will be a presenter at the Flipped Class Conference in Chicago this summer!!! If you are interested in learning more abouht the flip, the conference is this June 18th-20th. Space is filling up fast so check out the link http://flipped-learning.com/ .
I am also going to have a talk with the superintendant of my school to talk to him about holding a flipped classroom "class" for my district, so now I am so pumped to have that meeting!
I have some great stuff going on in my class and I will be posting this weekend! I love hearing from people following the blog, so keep the communication coming!
I just love your enthusiasm!! Recently, I stumbled across your blog- it's funny because I wanted to do something different in my room as opposed to be the "center" of attention. I'm not able to attend the Workshop in Chicago, but I am REALLY thinking about buying the virtual workshop. I, too, teach Spanish & am always looking for lessons that integrate technology. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Wish you the best on your conference & I'll be checking your blog again real soon!

Thanks! The flipped class is still a work in progress. I am looking at moving to some online assessments and blogging for next year. I am also looking at Project Based Learning to do more in class and encourage more time in the target language.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good wishes...I have to say I am a little nervous....not so much for the people in the room, but the tons virtually attending!
Keep me posted on your changes. I love hearing what everyone else is doing. Feel free to email with any questions or keep posting comments on the blog!
I'm working on my master's in MATFL - Spanish and have chosen Flipped Classroom and it's impact on grammar skills and conversational skills - would you have any resources, links, articles, that you could share with me as I start my literature review? Thanks so much, Tamara
ReplyDeleteTry eschoolnews.com and techlearning.com they have many articles about the flipped class. There was an article in the Wall Street Journal http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704101604576248713420747884.html and there was just a big article in Time http://www.schoolleadership20.com/profiles/blogs/flipped-classroom-time-magazine-reboot-the-school. Also check out the flipped learning network on vodcasting.ning.com where you can contact and read about educators flipping their class.
DeleteHope that helps! Let me know if there is anything I can do.
