While I did graduate with a minor in history, I still feel that I would be unprepared to teach social studies to students right now. When I leave this class I hope to have a better grasp on the social studies curriculum that each grade level is required to cover. Since I work as a school librarian, I feel this knowledge would help me to better serve the students and staff.
I have been interested in the idea of a flipped classroom and even worked to become Flipped Classroom Certified on Sophia.org.  The ability for teacher to flip the classroom, students take in the content on their own and move the work to the classroom, just seems to make sense.  Along with another teacher, I have been trying to move some of our school technology help into a flipped model.  I am excited to try the model as the student.

I love using all this technology!

  1. Awesome! I am glad you are interested in learning to flip your classroom! We will be using Sophia mainly, but you can also download Jing and they will host screencasts for free too on their site. Both great resources.
