Education and life have come a long way...
-
With corporate and government support, technology arrives in the classroom! What was it for... Sit and click worksheets? Publishing? Research? Learning!?!?!
-
Chromebooks have arrived! And their purpose is to... facilitate testing with the new SBAC...? Teachers were unprepared to utilize technology in the classroom...
-
Teachers are using 1:1 technology in various formats. Google classroom, google docs, and LOTS of online apps. But is there a focus?
-
Develop teacher and students' ability to make "homework" more effective using the Flipped Classroom model. This initiative will focus on science since this subject has become a side-note in elementary education as time for instruction is at a premium. Access at home (connectivity and devices) is our biggest challenge at this time.
-
Using available devices and teacher energy, we will be!
-
Access comes with risks: physical damage and internet vulnerability outside the district infrastructure...
Who and how is the district and the student/family responsible for situations?
Policies and responsibilities will need to be defined -
Open opportunities for teachers willing to learn about utilizing the Flipped Classroom as a tool for instruction focused on science
-
With our population, how do we get students access for the Flipped Classroom outside of school?
*Open lab before/after school
*Collaborate with local library
*Maximize community out-reach programs through cox and donorechoose -
With input from pilot teachers we will look at resources, PD and interest as we move forward with the concept of the Flipped Classroom
