So, I've never seriously considered flipping my classroom because my students don't all have computer and Internet access at home. I'm not sure how to hold them accountable. However, when I read this quest, I was intrigued, so I re-read a professional book that I've had for a year. It's a book by Caitlin Tucker, who walks you through teaching secondary ELA with technology. I use her ideas a lot, and in the book, she sends you to a blog post about flipping vocabulary . I've read her blog several times, but somehow missed this one. And, man, I wish I'd been doing vocab like this for years!!
It's hard to get everything in as an English teacher, and I can usually let vocabulary instruction slide. Now, though, I'm going to work on making videos and adapting Tucker's process to my students. I hope this quick video shows that.
