Wrapping Up Term Three, 2018

This term has shown significant progress with a 'Flipping' model in the classroom.  While I have been aware of the requirements and expectations I needed something of the proverbial push to me to do so.  With some help from the Principal I had that 'Aha' moment.  I began to explore the possibility of Flipping my Mathematics and when I did I was able to make the connection between the theory and the practice.

An example is the grading of Seesaw Posts.  I had completed this before but I hadn't as a rule paid particular attention to this.  It is now apparently obvious that by doing this the students who are excelling, who are challenged or need assistance visually becomes quite obvious.

With reguards to pushing out activities on Seesaw the same applies.  There are obviously very clear examples of tracking how a student is preforming.  I personally have spent considerable time in the past looking at tracking students with Sheets, Checklists and the like and this takes the place of that and organising it in a logical way.

I would feel now confident in allocating all of my Mathematical learning to a Flipped Model, and I think the Reading Strategies and aspects of Writing would also allow themselves to be easily Flipped.  I have completed the Flipped Learning Training Certification, although it should be noted that the training itself is a one year course and every additional year requires a subscription based model to continue to have the account active.

The Project Mounga 'Whio' Project is nearing the starting point.   A signiifcant meeting will take place in the first week of Term Four, which should bring everyone involved together, as this will allow the placing of the tracking cameras which would be the next
