As administrators, we get to see a lot of great things when we come into your classrooms. Please share any innovative teaching strategies you have used recently or would like to try in the future.
Whole Brain
Recently, I have seen several teachers using whole brain teaching at Johnson Crossing. This method is something I was not that familiar with prior to this year. We have several teachers who would be wonderful resources. Learn more about whole brain teaching below.How To Begin Whole Brain Teaching 1

Flipped Classroom
The idea of the "flipped classroom" has been a hot topic on twitter for quite some time. Flipping the classroom is the idea of doing the homework at school and the lesson at home.

BYOD
Some teachers are experimenting with "Bring Your Own Device." Students in the lowest income bracket are most likely to access the internet using a phone or mobile device. Students use technology regularly and proponents of BYOD would argue that school should not be the only 7 1/2 hours without technology. BYOD: Bring Your Own Device

I am getting an Apple TV to use. Let me know if you would like to try it out. I'm hoping to have it by mid week.
ReplyDeleteI now have the Apple TV. 5A is using Gale's, 5D is using the one I got for the school. I also have a personal one at home if anyone is interested in using it. -Cudly

That is awesome!! Going to have to talk someone into trying this...gee, I wonder who??
DeleteI have been reading a lot about flipped classrooms lately and wonder what others who are implementing it think? I have read many mixed reviews on it, but would like to see how it looks in action. What do schools that use this do in the instance kids do not have access to mobile devices so the videos can be seen? What happens if kids choose not to watch (similar to not doing homework)? Great topic for further research!
