    1. Someone in 6th hour said that they have a 45-minute drive to hockey practice like three times a week, and they've been able to watch my videos in the car. I love the convenience of being able to watch them anywhere.

    1. What do you find helpful about it?

      Delete
    2. i think that sitting in a classroom teaching has to be wayyyyyy more stressful for you.... so you help out all of us by doing this and its a lot easier to understand

      Delete
    3. I'm glad you feel that way, Parker.

      Delete
  11. i think a pro is doing it when you wwant

    1. Do you ever watch part of a video at one time and then finish it later?

      Delete
    2. Excuse me but what?

      Delete
    3. I did that a few days ago, I watched the first half of it before dinner, and the other half of it after dinner.

      Delete
    4. I like that it's flexible in that way. It's nice to not have to sit for 30 straight minutes if you don't want to, or just don't have time to.

      Delete
  12. i think its pretty good.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think its pretty good..hmmm.
    The bad thing is people might not have no wifi at home.
    But i think its going good.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yeah, I definitely don't want to punish people who don't have access to the internet at home. I am here for at least 30 minutes every day after school, so that's always an option if people want to stay after.

      Delete
    2. Yeah and you could always give people that didnt get to watch it in class.

      Delete
    3. yes and how do you think the week went? hmmm

      Delete
    4. Pretty good my friend..hmmm

      Delete
    5. so you think those who didn't watch it should get another chance?

      Delete
  14. I like how we can go back when we're at home and re-watch lessons.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Did you find yourself needing to do that this week?

      Delete
  15. It is really easy for us to do the flipped classrom compared to regular classes because now we can re-watch the videos until we understand it fully which is amazing for me.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. True Chandler and I have not 're watched a video

      Delete
    2. i rewatched the first one a couple times because i wasn't 100% sure if i understood it so it is really helplful to me.

      Delete
  16. Some pros and cons about the whole flipped classroom thing is that sometimes you're absent and you're not notified when a new video is posted. Then again, it's up to you to go look.

    1. True. I wish there was an easy way for me to keep you guys updated, but I don't have anything that reaches everyone other than this blog.

      Delete
    2. I understand.

      Delete
    3. Remind 101 would work

      Delete
    4. It would if everyone were signed up for it. I'd really love that.

      Delete
  17. I like that if we are confused about something we can just rewind the video and watch it again until we understand

    ReplyDelete
  18. I like how we can talk to each other on here... Even though we are sitting next to each other

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think it's good because it gives us a chance to watch the lesson again if we don't understand something but it could be bad if people choose not to watch it.

    ReplyDelete
  20. i find what is helpful is doing it while something else

    ReplyDelete
  21. I like it because if i miss something that you said i can always have the opportunity to go back and hear it a second time to reassure myself

    ReplyDelete
  22. It really was a great idea on Mrs B.'s part

    ReplyDelete
  23. Emily just mentioned this, as have other people today. What do we do if people are choosing not to watch the videos? They take the place of my teaching, so they're pretty important to watch. How can we make sure everyone is being responsible?

    ReplyDelete

    1. yell at them PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN

      Delete
    2. well if you choose not to watch the video that person will be very confused during the week and it would not be a very wise choice to not watch the video

      Delete
    3. You can kind of tell when they do something completely wrong and aren't doing what a video said.

      Delete
    4. Maybe have them comment on the video, if you can do that..

      Delete
  24. have notes in the video and if they dont have them they didnt watch it

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. yea then you will know who watched them

      Delete
  25. mrs boehle if someone isnt watching the videos than you would most likely be able to tell because their grades may be dropping.

    ReplyDelete
  26. What would you guys think about me giving you a participation grade for taking notes while you watch the videos? It would be an easy grade for you and it would definitely let me know who isn't watching the videos.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. that would be a good idea

      Delete
    2. I like that idea

      Delete
    3. I like that, but the only thing with that is, that I struggle with taking notes, it's much easier to just watch them.

      Delete
    4. this would be like a reward to the students who actually watched the videos like they were told to.

      Delete
    5. I think that would be a good idea

      Delete
    6. i like that idea too because, we can all write our notes at different paces and not feel rushed.

      Delete
    7. i think that would be a good idea just to check if everyone is watching there videos. just give a brief paragraph about that video.

      Delete
  27. a con about the whole flipped classroom thing is that since we dont have to sit and listen to the lesson in class, that some people will look at everything as a choice and we wont get our work done.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I agree, Kali, and I hope that people catch on that this is something they need to take seriously.

      Delete
    2. yea that is one of the downs to this but there are a lot more ups to it like we can watch it until we completely understand it. but your completely right about that Kali

      Delete
    3. ya but there are more pros than cons when you think about it

      Delete
  28. I have not seen the video yet.

    ReplyDelete
  29. If some people do not watch the videos thats just hurting them because they will be confused during the week.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I totally agree, and I hope that pressure forces them to watch the videos.

      Delete
    2. ya but i think most people will choose to watch the videos because they will be very confused if they choose not to

      Delete
  30. I really do think that this was a great idea on Mrs. Boehle's part because of the reason that we can rewatch the videos until we understand it. ( and to find the meme faces. lol)

    ReplyDelete
  31. How did you guys feel about the workload this week? You had two videos to watch, notes to take, a response to write and a vocab packet that isn't due until next week. Was that pretty manageable?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. it was easy enough

      Delete
    2. i don't think it was a lot. it was a pretty easy week

      Delete
    3. Probably could have went a little less time on the video because people might have things to do

      Delete
    4. I liked this week. It wasn't too much work but it was enough that kept me busy.

      Delete
    5. I'd like to get the videos down to about the 20-minute mark, but sometimes that's just not possible.

      Delete
    6. i think even the 30 minute is ok

      Delete
    7. i get that and i understand

      Delete
    8. i think that the videos are a bit to long and it makes it hard to focus on what you're saying so we lose interest

      Delete
  32. I'm going to watch the video on monday

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I watched the first two but not the two optional

      Delete
  33. I like the fact that we can watch the videos whenever we want. It gives me the responsibility that I will need in high school

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think taking a participation grade is a good idea and would be an easy grade for everyone.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. i agree. but would that be fair? if we did that the people who dont understand it wouldnt be learning and those who do wont be getting the grades they earned

      Delete
    2. me too because if you just watch the video it is an easy a++++++++++!!!!!!!!!

      Delete
  35. if someone doesnt watch the videos then yea its their loss. but mrs boehle will be able to see if you did or not due to the fact that she can tell when you dont understand and that it will affect your grades as well.

    ReplyDelete
  36. i think that the flipped class is better because we can watch the videos at home and have alot more work time in class

    ReplyDelete
  37. i think this whole flipped classroom thing is also a good way for people to be able to actually speak their opinions about whats being taught, like with this discussion that we're having right now. that way people aren't so shy and we can actually understand everyone's thoughts and ideas.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I am still working on the vocab.

    ReplyDelete
  39. i like the flipped class room it gives us more time to read in class.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I felt like the workload this week was plenty manageable.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. i agree it definitely was not hard to keep up with the work at all

      Delete
  41. This is a good thing. the chat window i mean cuz we can talk to eachother about school when we are on the bus or at home. so we can still be communicating with one another

    ReplyDelete
  42. Last thoughts: Is this model something you can see us doing all year? Tell me your thinking.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. YES! It is super easy for us and I assume for you as well. And it is better than sitting in a classroom and only being able to hear something said once

      Delete
    2. i don't understand the question

      Delete
    3. i think it is manageable

      Delete
    4. Yeah I can see this happening all year

      Delete
    5. Parker, do you think we could keep going with the flipped classroom stuff all year?

      Delete
    6. Nice thoughts Grace

      Delete
    7. i can see us doing this all year because, what if im sick and i can't go to school. I will always have time to watch your videos.

      Delete
    8. i like the fact you dont have to yell for everyone to hear

      Delete
    9. yes, I think it is a good way for us to understand more of what we're doing in class and we can keep up easier.

      Delete
    10. i think that this is something we can do all year because if we have late work an go on break we can get it done an watch the video to help

      Delete
    11. Im thinking just about the same thing . just i think that this is one of the absolute best ways for us nowadays with all the new technology and ways of communication to be learning and still be going to school and actually interacting eith other human beings.

      Delete
    12. i agree with kayla

      Delete
    13. Yeah I could see us doing it all year because it is going to help us the videos are great when you need help so just watch a video and you are good to go.

      Delete
    14. Yes because lets say your tired or dont feel the best that day with this you can go home and get a better understanding this is also great if your absent or even on vacation if you take homework with you you can get it f one write with full understanding its a teacher in your hand and with chat box you can still ask questons

      Delete
    15. i think that this is a wonderful idea thanks for clarifying

      Delete
    16. yes i feel it would be perfect

      Delete
  43. The one thing i dont really like about this chat window is that you have to constantly update the site to see what others are saying.

    ReplyDelete
  44. i like the flipped classroom because we can actually participate more, just by typing on here.

    ReplyDelete
  45. i really like this flipped classroom and i could see us doing this all year

    ReplyDelete
  46. i feel like this chat will give students the opportunity to say what we think and how we feel without having to say it face to face. i think that this will make some of us feel more comfortable participating with each other.

    ReplyDelete
  47. i like being able to watch the videos whenever i want and on my own time and i agree with cheyenne and kali

    ReplyDelete
  48. I can see myself doing this all year.

    ReplyDelete
