I'd like to share a little secret. Every now and then I have my friend Mr. Jordan come into my beginner level classes and teach "for me" as I tell the students. I most often allow him to come in AFTER I've already taught the basics of a lesson just to give my students another perspective, but now that I've read The Daily Riff and The Flipped Classroom Defined it looks like I've been going about it backwards. I'm most definitely going to experiment with this simple FLIP and have him do the teaching while I'm thinking up ways for my students to verbalize the mechanics of what they have learned and then put it into practice.
Here meet Senor Jordan:
Were you distracted by his shirt? He wears a different one in almost every video.
Here's Paralee. In the past she was only available to my classroom in the afternoons for my upper level classes but again, I think I'm going to ask her to meet with my students when they aren't in my class.
