Before you think about flipping your classroom, I encourage you to ponder the following eight questions (images to the right). Answering these is the first step in preparing yourself, your students and their parents for a change in their learning environment.
In your group, discuss the following eight questions, jotting down your main ideas on a Google Slide. We will come back and expand on our discussions and answers at the end of this session. |
