My teacher made us try this for a science project

Dr. Lodge McCammon, you are a source of inspiration! We are a small language school in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil and your videos have been fundamental for the implementation of the flipped classroom approach to language teaching. Thank you!

If you can't use KZfaq with students, what is an alternative place to house the videos?

Great clear educational content - thank you.

Prices on myeasypaper.com are among the cheapest that I’ve seen. I needed some draft to improve afterward and received the perfect version from the very beginning and long before the deadline was due.

I love this! Is this for everyday?

Get a haircut please!!!!

I agree, but take out those glasses for God's sake!

It is boring how you teach, make it for fun

Your place looks desorganized

Yes teachers should be confident in what they know

I will give you feedback, you are boring and not good looking. Cut your hair

Have you seen the present political discourse right now? It's scary.

Hello Dr. McCammon! Great video! Do you think you could explain how you set up your camera so that both your hands are free to slide the papers? Information about what kind of camera stand you use and how you set it up would be very helpful to me. I am trying to flip certain aspects of my classroom next year.

this is actually pretty good. What would u do for 'Corn Flakes'?

Thank you :)

Did you created this video using a mobile phone please can you explain how you created this type of video

Terrific speaker/presenter! Loved it!

Awesome concept! I am wondering how much time this would take? Is this used to assess students?

OMG love your channel

I don't trust anything the zucks touch, at all ...

This is a tough one! Choice versus comfortable, change is the opposite of comfort. I feel you on this one! Student choice and teacher choice in terms of PD is not really analogous, unless one of the options for PD is not as robust as the others?

Great topic, Dr. Lodge!

Very interesting thoughts, agreed the questions being asked are the wrong ones

There seems to be a belief that the claims of this article are true. Yet what's not so clear, is that this is from an economical point of view. What about pedagogy? Here is a link to research conducted in Sweden which gives the exact opposite effect. They looked at the difference between classes with 30 students compared to classes with 31 (which were divided in to two groups with around 15 in each group). Here is the link - www.ifau.se/Upload/pdf/se/2012/r-12-05-langsiktiga-effekter-av-mindre-klasser.pdf It is sadly in Swedish, but there is contact info within the article, so perhaps it's possible to get it in english? A little bit beside the point : My experience with smaller classes, as a teacher I have way more time for each student and no srudent feels neglected. High performance students will manage almost no matter what. The main problem wirh big classes, when students need more help and assistance, and can't work independently, then big classes becomes a nightmare. These are aspects that to me sometimes seems overlooked by these researchpapers, and completely ignored by politicians and many of the decisionmakers.

or we could shrink the class size down and then train those avg teachers to make them more effective teachers. An excellent teacher with a small class will better meet the needs of their students than an excellent teacher instructing a large class.

I've followed your videos for quite a while. I love getting kids to create lessons, so thank you for your part in that. However, I fear if I go to this too often, that emotional response will dissipate because the novelty of seeing one's self on camera will dissipate. Thoughts?

I wholeheartedly agree. to add to that... the fundamental role of a teacher is to guide the "social" process of learning. What matters most in learning is what happens inside of a students' head as opposed to the jazz surrounding the student. A great teacher will achieve as good of a result in student learning "with" technology as they would "without" the use of technology. Why? because excellent teachers know how to influence what happens inside of a students mind through passion, love, and building the proper social construct for learning. And in many cases, static text is more effective than a fancy animated tech graphic because animated graphics are fleeting and details may be missed. They also require less thinking so will often not be as memorable. Static text on the other hand requires more thinking and is better suited for retention. Ultimately, the most effective teaching method is one that involves a caring teacher who can excite, create passion, and hold students accountable in the process of learning....with or without tech.

Dear Dr. McCammon, I deeply appreciate so much of your thinking on education and I especially appreciate your humble candidness in this video. As you mentioned, it is a common temptation for us to wrestle with worry and anxiety which is often the unsettling awareness that we finite humans are vulnerable to many scary threats that we can't eliminate despite our best planning and effort. Have you considered that this innate and unavoidable vulnerability is because we are designed to rest and rejoice under the loving care of a sovereign and wise God? Wonderfully, He has revealed Himself with clarity in the Bible. As we understand His judgements, we see that our problem is not merely that our anxious thoughts are wasting our time but that our sinful behavior is worthy of being separated from His good and holy presence. And as we understand His promises, we see that God has provided His own Son as a substitute to be treated in the way that we deserve so that He can love and care for us as only His Son deserves. Does this "one-shot video" explanation make sense to you? Please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have any questions and/or comments. And thank you again for the huge impact that your example and videos have had on my work as a high school geometry teacher and a mentor of new teachers. Sincerely yours, Darin Evans

Very nice ideas, thank you.

best video uve ever made

Why are they are, indeed!

I share this video as an example of what rigor and self assessment look like. It’s a prime example of what ALL students are capable of when they have a master teacher who is willing to do the work of putting structures in place to teach students how to take charge of their own learning. This is awesome!!

#paperslide

This is freakin AWESOME!!!

Thank you

I remember watching this video my final year of my teaching degree. I was so enthralled by this idea I was SO excited to try it with my students. However, as a new teacher I found it so difficult just to survive, let alone add another element to it. Now that I have had a couple years to figure out my way I have FINALLY been able to slowly incorporate the flipped classroom! Thank you so much for sharing and introducing me to this amazing teaching strategy. Little pre-grad me, with only my student teaching experience under my belt, I was SO psyched to add a section on flipping the classroom to my portfolio. leahbentleyportfolio.weebly.com/technology-in-the-classroom.html It hasn't been updated since early 2015. It's so nice to be able to look back and see how I have progressed. This is exactly why I am trying to combine flipped lessons and having students prepare detailed video tutorials like the ones you showed in your video "When Students Become Teachers". This will allow my students to have a portfolio of their development at learners and teachers! Wish me luck. Leah

Hello my name is Rubi my son Kevin goes to lockhart and he's learning a lot

All my music students learn to play music by listening, most of them never bother to (learn to) read, because most of the time it's a hinderance to their progress. It's what I have noticed after 30 years of teaching. I also noticed how reliant I was on the page and less involved in the music. I (now) rarely ever learn music by reading it. (In my opinion) The similarity between music and math(s) (I'm English) is to do with the way in which the brain has to hold information and manipulate it before returning it to the output so it's as much about spatial temporal awareness and the fact that we use all of our brain as musicians. There are several scientific studies that show how ALL the brain fires in a musical performer than say when a person is reading or doing another activity. It's also suggested that hearing certain frequencies can stimulate brain activity.

Thank you for sharing your ideas! And for the encouragement.

Brain based learning sounds like leg based running. Normally all learning is brain based.

no offense but this is quite a fictional learning environment. especially if you have 30-45 students in a single classroom. imagine if you have to teach 5 different level of classes in a single day with different topics! desirable, but fictional.

This is such a high level way for students to interact and share how they understand the content.

Hi! Great message. My question is how you ask students to reteach to you (the teacher). Does everyone in the group have a specific task and what are the requirements? Kinda wondering if you had an example you could share with specifics. Thanks!

Though I prefer to ask for permission before I blog, this time I'll ask for forgiveness. www.usmconnected.org/ums-faculty-institute-part-1/ Collapsing the two keynotes didn't do justice to either one, but I couldn't resist making the connection at the end.

I love this idea!

Good articulation of a teacher-centered instruction method. I'm not so sure "efficient" should be a driver in the classroom: many students learn at their own pace, in their own styles. What about STUDENT-centered learning, when students discover for themselves, and in the best of worlds, even generate their own inquiries (PBL, IBL)?

Valid reasons, but could have been done in under a minute (Rambling??)

Thank you for this content! I am in a rigorous education course and am trying to apply the flipped model to a project. This condensed video helped me understand where I need to start.
