Share your musings about flipped teaching and CBL (vs PBL?) from the context of your
I really enjoy the idea of flipped teaching - viewing a short lecture, 5-7 minutes, at home and then being able to focus on the practice and active learning in the classroom. It seems that it would help students be more prepared and have support as they become frustrated with the information being learned. I also like that the lectures are short and students are not spending hours after an eight hour school day doing even more work. Yet, unfortunately unless I move schools I would not be able to try this process out as we don't give out any type of homework at my high school. Even though I might not be able to use this particular method at the moment; I can think of many ways to implement this type of teaching into a physical education classroom. I already utilize videos of professionals to show students the proper way to perform a physical activity. There are so many benefits to Challenge Based Learning or CBL and I definitely foresee utilizing it within my own classroom. There are so many different ways to implement it into the various types of curriculum. I like that it helps the students connect with community members and business. It makes the students become part of a solution and creates empathy for someone other than themselves. After watching the video one of my first thoughts were the fires last fall and how students wanted to help but didn't know how. A CBL project might have helped not only get young people more involved, but also help them cope with the devastation and better connect the community.

I like your comments about better connecting to the community and having empathy. These are such important qualities to demonstrate and be taught, especially during a day and age where children are being bombarded with media images that are designed to socialize them into an individualistic mindset. Also, I like the way CBL was used because it was designed to get kids out of their comfort zone in the cases where children may be spoiled, therefore only concerned with themselves. The video was an excellent demonstration of the use of technology in the classroom and how it can be used to create an environment in which students are taught to express empathy for other as you have explained.

I also see a lot of benefits from this type of teaching. I think it is great to have students quickly see the lecture at home so during school students have more opportunities to ask the teacher for help and use them more as a resource. I also like that it gives the student more autonomy and gives students more "Ah-ha" moments. However, if you come from a site where HW is already barely done, why would any student watch a video at home. Even if it is a short video there is no guarantee that the student will watch it. And if they don't do their part at home then your lesson plan for the next day is moot.

I thought the same thing about my site and it's actually policy at our site that we don't assign homework. So even though I enjoy the idea I don't see this working at my current site. I wonder if showing it at the beginning of class would be beneficial if it's so short I shouldn't be a big deal.
