1.) What is one tip you got from Todd? Never have a video longer than ten minutes for a class. Students can't be expected to sit through a video longer than that.
2.) What is one question you have for Todd? What if some of your students learn better through worksheets and conventional learning rather than watching your five minute long videos? Do they still have to watch the videos?
3.) After watching this webinar, are you more inclined to try to flip your classroom? Why or Why nor? I am less inclined. I think these videos are unnecessary to use every day. Once in a while it might be nice to switch up the class, but I think especially as an English teacher there are better ways for the students to learn. I especially don't like the attitude that this project and inquiry based learning is the best for every student. For some I'm sure it works great, but for others I think benefit from reading and learning in different ways. I would rather have my students read the material that I am trying to teach than have them watch me talk about it for five minutes a night.
Some teachers use a modified flipped classroom. They may flip only once a week or once in a while so that they can devote more class time to a hands on activity.
