Hi and Welcome to the Southern Miss Faculty Learning Community on Flipped Classrooms!
This blog will serve a forum for those involved to share ideas, experiences, and thoughts about flipping their classrooms. As we learn more about flipping the classroom, we will use this forum as a way to share among the community. Please feel free to comment or make suggestions.
A few early brainstorming ideas for the community are...
Monthly Meetings: A regularly scheduled meeting once a month would allow us all to get together to discuss how things are going in the classroom as well as target some issues that might be arising while we learn more about the implementation of the flipped classroom.
Blog/Communication Forum: In-between monthly meetings, I have created this blog. In this forum topics from our monthly meetings will be posted with the opportunity for you to respond, comment, clarify, share experiences, ask questions, and so forth. Having a communication outlet will allow us to continue to share resources and experiences/thoughts as they occur in more of a real-time fashion as opposed to waiting until the monthly meetings. These forums could also serve as conversation catalysts for the monthly meetings.
Flipped Development: As you begin to experiment more with the flipped classroom concept, help with the development of flipped activities may be needed. Getting feedback and brainstorming in the development of flipped activities is available through forming of small groups or meeting individually with the resources available in the Think Center, i.e. myself or others in this flipped community group.
Peer Observations: A lot of times when implementing something new in the classroom, we want feedback on how things are going, from our peers. Through our discussions, we can coordinate peer observations to get constructive feedback about how our flipped out lessons are going. Of course, this would be on a voluntary basis.
