Most teachers make the kids watch the videos when they come to class if they didn't the night before. They miss part of whatever activities are going on in class and have to make them up on their own that night (plus the next video, if there is one).<br /><br />I'm not sure what I think about that policy, but the general consensus seems to be the kids learn real quick they want to be prepared when they come to class.<br /><br />I facilitate a "Homework Help" in my classroom each morning before school, and I'm hoping kids who didn't get it done the night before will take advantage of that time and come watch their video.<br /><br />Algebra 1 is the top math offered at my school and tends to be a more responsible group of kids, but there are always a couple who strongly resist completing homework (even though they pay for it with lack of understanding and poor grades).Mickie Gibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825278451620375425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075762815749332736.post-64716299373156928792014-08-08T05:55:19.672-05:002014-08-08T05:55:19.672-05:00Hi Mickie,

I'm like your blog and am anxious to hear how the kids do watching the videos for homework. What do you do when they don''t watch them? I can see that being a huge problem with my kids.

We will watch the first one together so I can teach students how to watch videos.<br /><br />When do you go back?<br /><br />I'm not familiar with learnzillion, but I have used Virtual Nerd and will continue to encourage students to watch their videos for supplementary/different perspectives.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by! I continue to read your blog, too. I can see us moving to standards-based grading at some point. Seems a natural progression from things we are now doing.Mickie Gibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825278451620375425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075762815749332736.post-86636105697601138402014-08-02T07:54:49.428-05:002014-08-02T07:54:49.428-05:00Hi Mickie,

The book we use is Pearson and they have homework videos already made that are similar to yours. Also I don't know if you are familiar with https://learnzillion.com/ but they are a site that has videos made already too. They are divided by grade level and common core standard. I really like them and will use them for my classes from time to time. When do you start school? I can't wait to see how your students like the flipped classroom.Jan Lichtenbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05944365143533012776noreply@blogger.com
