I look foward to your results. The flipped classroom inspired my Unit 5 project as well, with some differences – I still had to do in-class reinforcement, and the at-home component was composed of history […]

One of the first PDs I attended was a Habits of Mind seminar through NESA. Graham Watts spend four days over two separate conferences walking us through the what, how, and why of Habits, which are basically life […]

Matt Kelsey commented on the post, Administrators are Teachers, Too, on the site Behind the Closed Door 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Why then, this common misassumption that administrators are not on side?
I’m fortunate enough to work at a school where the teachers and admin have a mutually supportive relationship. But I’ve seen schools […]

A student should also feel that the opportunity cost of x minutes of homework is greater than the opportunity cost of a lower grade.
Your summary of the teacher’s dillema in assigning homework is spot on. I’ve […]

My plan is also to flip my 10th grade history classroom, and I share the same concern you do – if students don’t understand the direct instruction that is homework, then how do they apply their knowledge in class? […]

What’s that old cartoon joke? On the Internet, no one knows you’re a dog. The Internet lets us present one face to the world, which means that we don’t develop fully or have the same depth of interactions as we do […]

Teachers also need training and a viable and sustainable “push in” from technology coaches who know the classroom, the curriculum, and the constraints of the school environment in order to support the […]

Matt Kelsey commented on the post, Getting Flipped, on the site Thinking is the best way to travel 5 months, 3 weeks ago
We share the same concerns about flipping, because it’s not just “play a video” – it’s about being able to do something with the knowledge you gained from that video when you step into the classroom. If we’re […]

Hold on, the link you have from the Innovative Educator isn’t actually arguing that the model is inherently flawed – author Lisa Nielsen is just listing five impediments to doing it right. Her criticisms have more […]

Tech standards, expectations or however they are packaged, become the responsibility of not only a students learning team but the student themselves

Matt Kelsey commented on the post, Cast your NETs, on the site Hangarau 6 months, 2 weeks ago
The common thread is that your school seems to have consistency. And this is especially important because even though teachers perhaps SHOULD be IT teachers, they are not. There are a lot of teachers out there who […]

I’ll cut to the chase: my integration of technology is fairly middle-of-the-road, but just because my teaching isn’t revolutionary doesn’t mean it isn’t good.I started by brainstorming a list of all the […]

So you’ve decided your school is into 21st century learning. You want specific, measurable, and achievable goals for your students; you want them to have a skillset that will enable them to be successful in the […] -

Here’s my Course 3 video. I didn’t finish it in time for the Course 3 Reflection, but better later than never, right? It was a fairly straightforward process to create it, but for me it looked like:Brainstorm in […] -

What did you use to record the voiceover for the title – just your iPad? It was really clear. I used the microphone in my webcam and there was a lot of background noise, even though my room was quiet. Good audio […]

Infographics just seem like another medium we need to include if we’re teaching critical analysis, but I see them being using more in math and science classes. Where English teachers might analyze “A Modest […]

These should be a necessary accessory for all teachers with IWBs. I like how yours has an integrated trackpad. I’ve heard that Wacom Bamboo tablets are also good for drawing on your IWB flipchart while walking […]
