How TLF changed my classroom instruction
“Is just using it really a lofty goal?” Bernajean Porter
I now consider these two questions about every lesson plan I create:
1) How would you want to use your class time with your students?
2) What would be the best use of face time with you and for students to have with each other?

• Teachers in a flipped setting send their knowledge home to students (and their families) as 5-15 minute videos.
• This frees up class time for students to work on homework, projects, and other assignments with the help of their teachers and peers.
• Kids learn at different paces and the videos allow them to press rewind over and over again. Kids who are out sick never have to miss critical content again.

Choose Your Own Adventure
The emphasis for me was less about learning the latest and greatest technology tricksbut rather, looking honestly at what I was using and analyzing its worth for my students.
Flipping started my concept of designing the perfect “Dream Class” which is not onlyFlipped but also Inspired, Gamified, Project Based, and Differentiated!

Coaching others• The biggest obstacles are being able to reach everyone and
making it relevant at the time of training.• Options: -Face to face whole group and small group
meetings.- Online format with interaction, such as Edmodo.- Through the use of an online resource for “on-demand”
learning, like Live Binder.
