I D E A A N D T O O L S
• Flipped the Class
• Groups of 3 (weekly
rotation)
• tiered assignments based
on bloom posted on
individual blogs
• Self-paced completion
(when you are ready, take
the online assessment)

6. P O S I T I V E S
• Collaboration
• Self-paced
• I was free to interact and walk around
• Students engaged in projects and
assignments that helped them learn
and fit with the effort they wanted to
make
N E G AT I V E S
• Easy for the student to check out or
hide
• Seemed even less personal for the
student who didn’t want to talk to me
• Too much freedom
• Seating issues

7. E F F O R T # 2
I D E A A N D T O O L S
• Add a way to engage more
students, and fix the
seating problem
• How?
• Gamification
• Teams
• Quiz Battles
• Working together

8. P O S I T I V E S
• They are more engaged
• They can work with who the feel
comfortable with but also aren’t stuck
with the same person.
N E G AT I V E S
• Still a few kids that get lost in the
trenches who are quiet or don’t want
to participate.
• Still I feel I am getting to fewer than I
desire
