Flipping the Classroom

Flipping the Classroom 

    The Technology plan that I will be using is called “Flipping the Classroom.” The goal is to be able to flip the traditional way of teaching by implementing technology. As we have seen through our pandemic year, technology now plays an important role in teaching. Students were responsible for their own learning for a year. They would meet virtually with their educators. Educators had to improvise with new technology tools. It has been a huge change in education. Therefore, I want to introduce this new plan of flipping the classroom.

     Instead of teaching in person, I want students to watch a short video about the notes for homework. The important key here is “short video.” Research has been proved that students lose focus after 10 minutes of an adult talking. Keeping the videos short and simple can guarantee students' learning intake. When educators have students in person, they can work on fun, engaging, and learning activities. 

    Flipping the classroom creates active learning. Students in the 21st-century need of active learning to stay focused and engaged. Active learning is when students are taking responsibility for their own learning.  Active learning is walking away from the old traditional teaching style and transforming teachers to be more facilitators and students to be more accountable. 

    My school's plan for this change is to properly inform students and parents about the new changes so they are aware of how this can affect their grades. My co-workers have agreed to be part of this in some type of form. My school, coworkers, and my priority is to make sure this does not affect students negatively. This is a new change but as high school students, we have all agreed that the students lack of self-responsibility and this might be challenging for them. We have discussed ways to implement "catch up" days for those students who lack from completing the work.

 Digital Tattoos      For this blog, I was really excited to know what Digital Tattoos was all about. I love tattoos and I have some of my own which leads me to think we would be talking about our tattoos. Little did I know that we would be talking about the tattoos we create for each other on the web. Amazing and shocking to know that 81% of two-year-olds have a digital footprint without their knowledge and consent. This shocked me because I never really thought about this deeply enough. I have been sharing pictures of my little cousin ever since she was born. She is now 10 and recently open up an Instagram account. The moment she posted her first picture, which was a picture with her family, I imminently gave her a lecture about social media. But what difference does it make?  I was already sharing pictures of her on the web way before she even open up an Instagram account.  With that being said, once I started doing my own research about myself, one of t...

Reflection      My proposal for the class was to flip the classroom. I had done some research on "Flipped Classroom" in another class before EDU 777 02. For this class, I started implementing slowly with my students. My style of teaching is, I Do, We Do, You Do. It has always worked fine. After learning about flipped classrooms, I started introducing note videos. My goal is to transform and implement my classroom for next semester. So far, I can say that the note videos have helped. I started including the videos for students to use to "catch up" or "review." At first, I had students complain, but later on, I had students say that they liked the videos better than having me teach directly. This was a positive aspect because I thought it was going to be hard for students to be responsible for their learning, especially on days that they were absent. The negative aspect of this is that I have noticed that it is hard for some students to follow along with the...

About Me

 Hi! My name is Diana Madrigal       I am currently a Math teacher at Morton West High School located in Berwyn, Illinois. This is currently my 3rd year teaching. Teaching last year was a challenge, specially trying to create all the lessons and activities online. It was hard to keep the class in engage when they wouldn't want to turn on their cameras on. Most of the time I felt I was talking to myself. For this reason, I got really interesting in learning how to become better by using technology at my advantage. I wished I knew how to create and use different websites to make class more engaging. So I am definitely excited to learn from this class, which I am already learning. I have never used this website before! (excited) As a math teacher, I never really write much. Therefore, I do not know how the blogging works but I know I have couple of friends who use it and they make it look very interesting. I am hoping I can learn new thing to use in my classroom, s...
