@JCotten32 my new boss showed this to me on Friday and I instantly wished I knew I could snap windows to 1/2 my screen years ago. #TechTimeSaver

Class challenge! The class to get the highest score gets bragging rights for the week! Turn in your answer including your sketch through Canvas. If there is a tie, the tie breaker will be determined by who submitted it first.

Join the dots with straight lines that don't cross. Your score is the sum of the products of the numbers joined. What's the highest score possible? #iteachmath #mtbos

How can learning management systems benefit education? The answer is more complex than you might think. Thus, we suggest you check out the article and learn about the changes it can bring to conventional teaching methodology: https://t.co/6l9Ll2Panf

#EDU903 This is awesome! I currently use Remind for that. Remind is great but if I can use one less program, why not.

"What? I can use Canvas to send text reminders to students or parents??" Yes you can. I show you how in under 60 seconds! @markboothe @CanvasLMS @canvascasters @JohnLien7 @CDLocps @allikibs

@KelDow12 Increasing classroom engagement is one of the selling points for me. The other main selling point is the student having access to the content anywhere they go. #EDU903

[Brandy Simms @BSAlgebra]

@KelDow12 I think this is huge! When someone tries something different in a traditional classroom, people acknowledge that "teachers need to find what works for them, their students, and their comfort level." So why not look at it the same way for a flipped classroom?

[Brandy Simms @BSAlgebra]

@jksuter @missmartin42PE I would also recommend keeping in mind what home internet situations are like. Where I live it is really hard to find good internet. Also especially in these times there are usually more than one person using the internet at a time so the shorter the video the better. #EDU903

[Brandy Simms @BSAlgebra]

@jksuter @missmartin42PE So I should start out flipping and then allowing self-pacing could be a step for next year? #EDU903

[Brandy Simms @BSAlgebra]

@jksuter Teaching in this unique time, I am finding out that time and place is not important what is important is access. I have had plenty of times this year that a virtual student turned in an assignment in the middle of the night. #EDU903

[Brandy Simms @BSAlgebra]

I have always thought of a flipped classroom as videos out side of class and practice during class. I didn't think about having students check their understanding outside of class after practice when flipping your class. #EDU903

[Brandy Simms @BSAlgebra]

@missmartin42PE I teach by doing a problem with the class, students do a problem, we go over the problem, and so on, using at least 75% of class time. Reflecting on this week, I can see how videos would be more benifical due to the different student paces for completing their problems. #EDU903

[Brandy Simms @BSAlgebra]

#EDU903 I especially liked the response by @jksuter. As a math teacher I typically am not very fluffy when writing but never considered the amount of fluff that is used in my lectures.

Bergman: “Flipped learning teachers have been preparing for the pandemic for the past 10 years,” Bergman said. “It's really a great way to amplify your reach to teach.”
