DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.

You need not take my word for any of this. I am not inventing a thing. I am doing what most teachers do and I am sharing what I have learned from others. Ramsay Musallum says it best when he says jargon and 21st Century Learning are not important. I use technology to spark curiosity and to make my life easier in the long run. Ramsay speaking at a "Flipped Classroom" conference I attended changed my teaching forever. 



Audrey McLaren-McGoldrick is a Math teacher from Quebec who has been a great sounding board via twitter for me. I met her at a conference as well. She is doing this trial and error just like the rest of us, though she has been trying a little longer. I appreciate her candor and insight about how she teaches.

My curiosity in what a Flipped classroom was came from Paul Anderson. I was teaching Science 10 almost entirely and looking for ways to help the stream of kids away for sports, or the dreaded family vacation. I forget exactly how I stumbled onto his videos ( I think it was succession in Ecology) and I was hooked. He explained it all and took the repetitive nature of the explanation to absent students away. I could just post the link and off they went. That is when I started looking into how he did it and why. I like to look back at his first endeavors we all start somewhere. Here is his blog post from 2011
