Comment by Carol Redmond on March 31, 2013 at 7:57pm: Hi Cheri,

I teach K and have been flipping literacy lessons this year. I use YouTube and send the link home for homework. I make videos on systematic phonics lessons. In primary, you are educating parents as well as students. Parents seem to appreciate learning how to teach their child to read. I am still new to this and would like to hear what other primary teachers do.

Comment by Doug Hinkle on March 31, 2013 at 7:36pm: Getting started, think small. I started with just one lesson to see what kind of buy in I'd have and to test they system and tech. Mi then build from there. I'd recommend thinking about the following:

1. What content
2. How will you present it
3. How will the students access it
4. What will you do in class instead.

Comment by Doug Hinkle on March 31, 2013 at 7:33pm: I have a second grade colleague who is posting spelling rules on podcast for younger students. You could also post a Vodcast for something you want your kids to do at home with parents. Really the sky's the limit. Think about what would be most beneficial for your kids. Remember, flipping looks very different for primary vs. intermediate; and that from middle/high school. The point is to do what works for your kids and allows more differentiation.

Comment by Cheri Lynn Hopkins on March 31, 2013 at 7:23pm: Hi, I am a 1st and 2nd grade teacher this year. I have taught 4-6 previously. I am new to this flipped classroom thing. I can see how it would work well with the older students, but am somewhat dubious about the younger students. Please enlighten me.

Comment by Susan Greenfield on March 25, 2013 at 8:48pm: I am a third and fourth grade teacher and I am totally new to this, but it sounds exciting. Any suggestions on the best way to get started?

Comment by Jeff Horwitz on February 12, 2013 at 7:41am: DeLyn, love your videos. I'd love to talk to you more about it. I sent you a friend request.

Comment by Elisa Waingort on January 24, 2013 at 12:14pm: Hello everybody!

I just joined this group and am looking forward to the discussions. I am currently teaching ESL, grades 4 - 8, at an International School in Quito, Ecuador. Although I've read a bit about flipped classrooms I am interested in finding out more, especially at the elementary level and within an ESL pull-out, push-in model.

Cheers!

Comment by Kim Bartholomew on December 16, 2012 at 4:52pm: I stumbled upon the flipped learning concept by accident today and I am very intrigued! I can see where it would solve SO many problems I am having in the classroom with needing to do so many interventions and not enough time. Furthermore, I am finding that I am re-teaching the SAME information repeatedly as students simply are not listening! However, I am wondering how this would look in a 5th grade reading and writing classroom??? Is it even possible when a lot of my teaching is done through readings and discussion?? Any advise would be helpful as all I am mainly finding is information with math.

Comment by Sami Heino on October 18, 2012 at 3:06am: Greetings from Finland!

I'm a 2nd grade teacher from southern Finland. We decided to open a channel in Youtube for our 2nd graders. From our channel you can find some short lectures made by teachers and studying moments from our class. In the near future we are going to carry out some Geometry components using flipped - methods. Let's see how that works out! Channel is in finnish, but if you're interested in hearing our beautiful language, we welcome you all! (Try Herkkuja puutarhasta- video. You can learn som finnish words for different berries etc. At least you can hear the pure excitement of the children ;) )
