"Honey is sweet, and so is knowledge, but knowledge is like the bee that made that sweet honey, you have to chase it through the pages of a book!" Thank You Mr. Falker by Patricia Pollaco

Flipping it over: Let's try it the other way...

Thank goodness I can read - and do read, more regularly now that I am committed to write. In reading other teacher's reflections, observations and musings, I am often pushed and inspired to go beyond what I already do... and I find this exciting!

In one of my viral stints, I came across the idea of the Flipped Classroom. This idea has intrigued me to no end. I am now thinking of ways to get the classroom started on this - will it be math? Language? How will differentiation work with this? Oh, the questions!!!

Just like it all though, I gotta jump right in and give it a try. I'll figure it out while I go along. 

In experiencing change and pushing/shoving at school towards progress, I am owning and taking pride in that quality about myself. It may seem reckless, but it is how I learn. I can't possibly figure out all the things I need to know, predict all the contingencies and know all the possibilities before taking one step. Things may get a little crazy, but we all go along together. So with my next unit, let's try flipping things around a bit. 

This is gonna be interesting!
