The flipped classroom model encompasses any use of using Internet technology to leverage the learning in your classroom, so you can spend more time interacting with students instead of lecturing. This is most commonly being done using teacher created videos (aka vodcasting) that students view outside of class time. It is called the flipped class because the whole classroom/homework paradigm is "flipped". What used to be class work (the "lecture") is done at home via teacher-created videos and what used to be homework (assigned problems) is now done in class. Andy Runquist, Hamline University, will discuss the basics and implementation of “the flipped classroom. The Flipped Classroom Network can be explores further at http://vodcasting.ning.com.
Physics is a way of observing and working with our world. It is important for physics educators to give students the opportunity to observe, analyze, manipulate, etc. the world in the physics sense. The second part of the meeting will provide participants with real world examples of physics in action: car racing, baseball,roller coasters, tennis, basketball, etc. Resources for these activities will be made available to participants. All participants will receive two updated disks (CD & DVD) involving amusement park physics (see description of these CD’s elsewhere in the newsletter).
Interested in Modeling? A group of teachers interested in Modeling & physics meetafter the main meeting to participants. All particpants will receive two updated disks (CD & DVD) involving amusement park physics (see the description of the cd's in the newsletter).
