Musings from a high school Teacher

Flipping Film and Media Arts

     I am so very lucky that  I have a colleague who is adventurous enough to take me and my crazy flipping ideas on. Robyn, you are one in a million! The two of us have embarked on a team teaching odyssey. We are flipping our classes and teaching a film unit to three separate classes, ranging from grade 9-12. We have taken the explore, flip, explain theory and applied it to a software driven course, and enmeshed it with a very interactive high energy drama course. 
     So far so good! I am currently editing my very unprofessional handheld documentary style recording of the first two days. I have since noticed that it looks like I do nothing as we only have video taken by me of Robyn. Oops! Fortunately, you can see my flipped pieces on this website under the Media arts tab. I  just have to say I have a whole new respect for the brilliance that is Robyn Sheppard. We have what should be a college professor of film teaching high school drama. How can it get any better? 
     The students have been a little shellshocked by the change of pace from a traditional learning environment. While reviewing the dailies, however, you can see that they are enjoying themselves and definitely learning.  I think this is what it means to explore, then flip, and explain. I see how taking the procedure of film can be flipped. I am still working on how to make the procedure of editing more in line with our goal. The work continues...
