Flipping the classroom -- my journey to the other side: Jenn Williams at TEDxRockyViewSchoolsED

Jenn Williams is a high school teacher with Rocky View Schools.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I don't learn well this way. I to go to a school that allows me to show up, sit in a classroom and have an expert explain the concepts to me. That's how I learn best. I purposely do not attend an online school because I don't learn well self-studying or teaching myself information. In these instances, I get through the information, I complete the assignment, but I walk away with very little retention of the topic. I think there needs to be a balance. It can not be the entire basis of the classroom to operate this way.

WOW! Love this! This is exactly what we need in our educational system! Self-learners! Students able to think by theirselves and in love with learning! I just laughed about the complaining-girl situation when she was yelling the teacher about not doing her job! jajaja
Guiding students to self-learning is getting them out of their comfort zone and that's what we all need! Thanks for sharing and encouraging us to be a facilitator of learning, instead of an information robot.

Don't mind me: I'm just putting some time stamps so I can use this for a research paper. Great speech by the way!

This video is 9 years old, which in education, is outdated. Many districts tried this with Empower, but it did not work. I believe that flipping the classroom is great sometimes, but not as a constant tool in the classroom. There is no substitute for good teaching.

I honestly don't know how this is feasible in most schools. I teach six periods out of seven every day, have five different preps, and do the after-school care for our high school students. I'm at school from 7:00 a.m. until 6 p.m. When would I find time to record all of these presentations? This all sounds wonderful, but I truly do not see how one can do it. There are not enough hours in the day.

Love it! What a wonderful job you're doing. Keep it up! You got a new fan from Brazil, now. Thanks.😊

Insightful sharing with fruitful outcome at the end of the journey. Thank you so much for the sharing. Worth trying for fellow teachers.

I don't lecture or give textbook questions in my SS class to begin with, so I am not sold on students watching "online" lectures of me at home.

[ridharifa]

Is there any theory of flipped classroom? I would like to make a thesis about flipped classroom but i still confused about the theoritical framework

[myname]

Flipped classrooms don't work for me. I don't know what evidence they're going off of but it's just an excuse for teachers to sit back and not do their job.

Why do Jenn's students have homework?
