Conveners, you (or your designee) should update your wiki page with:
 * Flipped Classroom
 * Winnie
 * names of the participants
 * and a high-level summary and sharing of resources

> > > Daily/Weekly Meetings or at lunch offer optional training. Open space sessions for Teachers - huge hit at Fessenden. Empowering teachers to collaborate and innovate rather than a top down mandate.
 * What is the flipped classroom?**
 * More demonstration online and more engagement/interaction during face to face time.
 * Winnie saw model of a Teacher at a school for hearing impaired students and was posting videos from Khan Academy on Thursday. The class would then meet up on Friday and get split into 3 groups to work together. Teacher loved the model and made her excited about teaching. Got more of a chance to connect with students and deepen learning. Felt more available to answer questions.
 * Jim Robb - St. Catherine's has had a lot of discussion about it. Teacher's fearful about what technology they should use and when do they find the time?
 * Winnie - Teacher she observed recommends 5 minutes or less. Benefits of the video is being able to replay videos for students that may have missed concept initially. Students don't work problems at home - work problems at school so Teacher can make in air corrections before the students have ingrained
 * Marquis - Newark uses Hybrid Learning. First important step is defining what Flipped Classroom means to you. Cloud has always been there we're just renaming it. Providing resources to assist Teachers on technology. Seeing improved Student learning. Particularly in math classes. Most of his students and parents have i devices. Offer a lot of workshops - weekly.
 * Curt - Fessenden encouraging Teachers to experiment with Flipped Classroom. Likes the concept of "Passive Homework." All boys school - difficult to get boys to go home and do math sets at home. But they are willing to watch videos and read.
 * Challenges:**
 * Students may not have access to technology at home. BYOD. Inconsistent access.
 * Using devices at school may distract them
 * Finding the extra time for training teachers
 * Getting teacher buy-in
 * How does it impact Assessment and Learning Outcomes.
 * Perception of that Flipped Classroom is a flash in a pants. Or that Teachers can't produce the content. Is it bad that Teachers become the manager? Or have they always been the facilitator? What's the difference between using a math book published by somebody else vs. a video produced by somebody else.
 * Teachers need to be comfortable creating partnerships with Students
 * Students not watching video - either because of technical hiccups or just blowing it off

Sonoma has added time in the beginning of the school year to. Using http://www.ixl.com/ for flipping classroom.

Jill: Take away - wants to do Demo Days for Teachers. Have them show off innovations.

Winnie: Is Math the only subject that works with Flipped Classroom model? Scott Daniel - Works well with science too. Curt - Teachers use MacBooks. Students get Chromebooks. 1:1

John - thinks it's more powerful when Teacher's create learning resource - don't just pre-package and resell Khan Academy and others.


 * Tips for getting started:**
 * Start small. Just one lesson at first. Or one a month.
 * Field School - Time Trade-Off: When trying to produce resources know you are going to spend time creating a video so don't assign a paper that you would have to spend time grading.
 * Make reusable content
 * Get students, passionate about video, involved in creating materials.
 * To get students to watch add an Easter Egg in the middle of the video (when I clap my hands tomorrow everybody move to the front of the room)

Lisa: Is anybody using Flipped Classroom for differential learning (something for the visual learner vs. the auditory learner)
