Todd Nesloney Webinar

Flipped classrooms are definitely coming into play a lot now because technology is the number one thing booming in education. It grows more and more by the minute it seems and it's hard to keep up with it. However after watching Todd's Webinar about flipped classrooms, I have a positive attitude towards the subject. One tip that I learned from him was it is very important to keep the parents involved. He said that if parents see you have such an open mind with your classroom and there is nothing to hide, they will have more trust in how you decide to teach. I think this is important because parents should be involved as much as they can be in their child's education. Todd points out there are a variety of sources to use to keep them involved: blogging, twitter/facebook, remind101, monthly "flipped class" open house, instagram, and so on. There are many resources to use! 

One question that I would like to ask Todd would be, have you ever encountered that one parent who disagreed with the idea of a flipped classroom? If so, how did you deal with that or persuade them into seeing it's a good idea?

After watching this Webinar, I am more inclined to flip my classroom because it seems like his students are eager to come in and learn each day. It is so important to have the students want to learn and he said his students actually persuaded his team teacher into flipping her classroom because they talked about how much they enjoyed it. Technology seems to be what gets the students interested the most and learning can occur at the same time! Like Todd said, "You cannot internalize until you verbalize!"
