Big news! I’m applying for a grant to Flip my classroom next year! I’m very excited!

I’ve been reading so much about Flipped Classrooms and cannot wait to try it out! I believe it will help increase student engagement and motivation, allow me to differentiate more effectively, and allow me to go full force with the Common Core!

Here’s the shortlist of what I’ve been reading (mainly from http://www.flippedclassroom.com/)

Ramsey Musallam, Aaron Sams, Karl Fisch, Jerry Overmyer,

Now I’m trying to figure out just what technology to include in the grant. I know that I want the following:

• Document Camera
• Digital Video Camera
• Photoshop Elements and Premier Software
• Glogster and Storybird subscriptions for my students
• Headsets with microphones
• SnapScan Mobile Scanner
• Webcam (that will move with me/the students)

I’d love to hear your feedback on both technology & your experiences!
