I am going into my 6th year of teaching, and I'm FINALLY redecorating, and I'm having a blast. I don't have like an object theme, but I have a color theme. It's from Creative Teaching Press. I am in love, and I posted about it on my blog. Also, I just nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award.

They have left it up to each teacher to decided which direction to take it......I am not sure, really how I am going to approach it yet. I thought about the Olympics as well as Military themes.

It was successful. It gave us more of a chance in class to actually spend time with the material, instead of trying to zip past it (we have a LOT to cover in biology!). A great thing is it is easy homework for the kids! A video to watch and take notes on is easy--a worksheet by yourself can be difficult. I plan to create my own videos this summer so I have my own lessons and don't have to rely on other people's work...I know of some free screen capturing websites that I'll be blogging about soon if you're interested in that! I'll make a little reminder so that when I finish that post I can let you know!Rhodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212494880096464958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007638568302752668.post-35788248542576102412012-07-04T00:29:46.181-06:002012-07-04T00:29:46.181-06:00I'm a new follower, thanks to someone on Pinte...I'm a new follower, thanks to someone on Pinterest. Anyway, I was at a conference last week where the flipped classroom was the rage. Felt a bit overwhelmed even though I do a lot with technology in my room until one presenter, Greg Green www.flippedhighschool.com, talked about what it looks like and that there's no one model that works better than another. Lots of suggestions that made sense and got me to thinking what more I could do to be the "guide on the side" for this coming year. Would love to share ideas about what is working and isn't working this coming school year, etc.Mrs. Wafwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16334425526189843469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007638568302752668.post-36267286297625254662012-06-19T18:54:23.446-06:002012-06-19T18:54:23.446-06:00I found your blog looking for (EVEN) more middle s...I found your blog looking for (EVEN) more middle school teaching blogs.
