All that work I put in during the summer was worth it but I have had to start recording lessons again and posting them to YouTube. I started last week and plan to do a few lessons over the weekend so I can stay ahead of the students. We are moving on to percents and I have started to put together some of the graphics that I will need to keep going. It was definitely worth it and it seems to have helped quite a few students and even parents to understand the math more effectively. One thing that I am looking forward to this year is the semester exam. I am going to give back to the students copies of their tests from the six chapters we will have covered and let them know which videos they should review before the test. Hopefully this targeted review will be better than the one I normally do that covers all of the material. Since we are moving to a new building with better internet capabilities the students should be able to all watch at the same time different lessons.
Just today I found out that my proposal for the ICE conference has been accepted. I am going to be presenting on flipping a classroom by using wikis and videos. I have until the start of March to put something together and I hope that I will as interesting as the people who I have learned from at ICE before. I am hoping to borrow an IPad from the school so I can see how to use it to develop lessons through that format. Exciting times and busy times.
