10 TEDs to Create a Learning Environment for Your Flipped Science Classroom
10 TEDs to Create a Learning Environment for Your Flipped Science Classroom
It is my humble opinion that the number one key to the success of a "Flipped Classroom" is the development of a classroom environment that values learning over the accumulation of grades. Creating a community of learning that we all benefit when we all participate in the process of gaining knowledge. While this may seem "utopian", there is an actual joy that comes about in students who lose the the stress of being defined by a letter.
I use these TED's in my classroom and as home viewing content to assist in the development of that learning environment for the students entrusted to my care.

You Are a Teacher
You Are a Teacher
President John Quincy Adams.
The last line has been changed from
"Leader" to "Teacher."
However, the sentiment still remains.
If your actions inspire others to
DREAM more,
LEARN more,
DO more and
BECOME more,
you are a TEACHER.
Adapted from a quote by John Quincy Adams

Featured Teacher on SOPHIA
Featured Teacher on SOPHIA
In January I adopted the SOPHIA website as a means of delivering content for my Honors Chemistry class. I create Tutorials and Playlists for students to view and complete work at home.
Both my students and I ave been very pleased with the SOPHIA site which is run by Capella University and Bill Nye (The Science Guy). I have completed professional development programs online through SOPHIA/Capella on the Flipped Classroom, iPads in the Classroom and the Virtual Classroom. I have shared SOPHIA in my department and have been a featured contributor to the School of Thought Blog.
This month SOPHIA has chosen me as the Featured Teacher for the use of Technology in the classroom. The link below will take you to the SOPHIA website.
