The second misconception about flipped learning is “flipped learning is easy for the teacher”. There is a tempting element of flipped learning that if the students are watching videos, and the students are doing homework, then the teacher is free to not have to do those things. That is only somewhat true. Join me as we talk about the road to flipping. check out the original blog at https://flippedlearning.org/how_to/the-paradox-of-effort-myth-2-flipping-is-easy/ 

I hope to cover just a couple myths about flipping in the next few blogs. The first two have to be grouped together because they are opposite sides of the same coin and both address the real and perceived effort required to flip a class. Myth number one: “It it's really hard to flip a classroom” Join me here or at flippedlearning.org https://flippedlearning.org/how_to/the-paradox-of-effort-addressing-flipped-learning-myths-part-1/

Previously I attempted to debunk flipped learning myth number five that states “no tech is needed to flip”. I still believe that for flipped learning in the modern classroom this is a true statement; however, I must admit there are those with reasonable opinions and reasonable perspectives that vary in the technology necessary.

This is the audioblog for the blog of the same name found at www.flippedlearning.org

I short audio record of all of the things necessary to get my classroom planning done on what should have been a peaceful Sunday afternoon. Another entry in the #flipblogs series.

This week my job really got in the way of my fiddlefarting.  In this blog I discuss what I would rather be doing than what I have to do as an educator.  Listen in and enjoy.

This episode addresses a common myth about flipped learning that no technology or video is required. I use Mickey Mouse as an example of the necessity to join sight and sound with text to realize the full potential of flipped learning. Join me as we talk history and education.

I sat down with Dr. Kristen Kendrick-Weikle following a two day regional professional development institute to talk about the need for collaboration and professional growth.  With limited financial resources for professional development, we talk about opportunities and benefits that can emerge when teachers, buildings, and districts combine their efforts to benefit one another. The Central Illinois Professional Development Institute has been successful but we discuss opportunities for growth in learning and sharing.
