Wednesday

I really liked the discussions about Twitter and flipped learning.  I have always thought of Twitter as a social networking app but now see that I would use it for my teaching even though I have no interest in it for personal use.  In the next two days I need to get more familiar with it, find more people I want to follow, and start tweeting with my class this fall!  While Jon and Bree have been telling me how much they use it, I still didn't really think I wanted to use it.  After talking more about it and hearing Jason talk about how he uses it I can see the value in it.  This will likely be how I post my videos and other information for my classes rather than email.

While I really like the idea of flipping the classroom, I am still concerned about being able to address all the content I have in a science class.  A 5-10 minute video may be helpful, but I still feel like my students need some structured notes as this is often the first course they take that they really have to read and take notes for.  I'm still thinking about how I will address these issues.
