Watch, Read, Listen & Reflect
"The more reflective you are, the more effective you are."
It's easy for us as teachers to spend all of our time focused on our students' progress. Too often we don't take time to reflect and engage on our practice as educators. Over the next 20-30 minutes, you'll be taking a flipped learning adventure using a variety of tools to reflect on a video, blog post and podcast that pertain to the ever-changing world of education.
Take some time to truly engage in the three different mediums that I have shared with you. Be sure to honestly fill out the reflection piece for each. If you would like to learn more about how I set up the reflection piece (Padlet, FlipGrid, Google Form), let me know after the debriefing. I will come and walk you through how to use the tool.
If any of the mediums challenged your way of thinking today, that's okay! Be sure to attend the debriefing activity (see below) that will conclude our day.
