The Proof is in the Pudding

     We are coming up to unit test time for our first unit in Science 10. I had to be away for a couple of days and had the most wonderful opportunity to have a TOC use my flipped classroom philosophy and videos while I was out. It was like having a virtual version of me. I am so appreciative that my TOC was willing to even give it a go, as this is not standard and kind of experimental when it comes to public education right now.
     The feedback I got was mixed. The infrastructure in our building let me down. The videos couldn't be streamed. The silver lining is that the kids have bought-in and a good chunk of them watched the videos at home the night before without prompting! I know that doesn't excite everyone but it sure does me. 
     The class was able to continue with the hands-on activity I had planned instead of a stand and deliver lecture and then the lab. There was more class time for actual application of concepts. I love flipping! I am curious as to how the views for the videos will change over the weekend before the test.
​     Thank you Robyn Joyce for being so flexible and willing to try this out in a classroom that you don't know; that shows incredible confidence and professionalism on your part.
