Flip the What? What the flip??

Okay. I mentioned this is a recent post but I want to talk about it again. Mostly because I'm excited and nervous about it.

The school district is pushing technology and 'strategic design' and I'm just gonna run with it like a pair of scissors. E-portfolios for the students and flipping the classroom. Since I really like vlogging, and I attended a 'flipping' workshop, I thought "YES! I can do this!"

Flipping a classroom is like vlogging a lesson, the students watch it before the enriching activity and we get to the fun stuff without having to really have an in class lecture. Because they are just so fun, right? And I have THREE of these bad-mamma-jammas done already! Two I won't be able to use until spring because that's how my schedule is going to work out. And the third is just an intro thing for the students and parents.

I have a ton of ideas! Demos for cooking and food labs. Egg baby demo. Clothing illustrations. Color scheme illustrations. House tours. All kinds of fashion stuff. Holy pajoly! Do I want to share the links here? Guh, I don't know! Of course, it will be on a completely separate 'Tube channel.

I'm getting nervous about going back to work with the kiddos tomorrow. Middle-schoolers! And a faster schedule! Eek! I just don't know what to expect. I know I'm going to forget so much stuff.
