Here is the link to my comment on Rocky's blog about 'flipping' his physics class. I am very interested in how he is integrating technology into his teaching.

Jaclyn,
ReplyDeleteTo answer your questions:
My students are working primarily at the same pace -- we are on a schedule of when to watch videos, and they do essentially the same assignments on the same days. While having my materials available at any time opens up the possibility of working at your own pace - a strategy often dubbed Mastery Learning -- I am not attempting that this year as that would be too much change too quick for me.
Second, each of my students has a computer at home, but I had considered making DVD's if needed. I do have two students who don't have high-speed internet, and they have each brought in a flash drive which I copied the mp4 videos on.
Third, a helpful group of teachers that have all flipped is: http://vodcasting.ning.com
Finally, my class website, where most of the videos are posted is: sites.google.com/site/roerclass/physics
