Welcome to Tech Snapshots

This blog was originally used for an online class I did for staff development with my school. I thought about scratching the post and beginning fresh and new. However, while thinking about what I wanted to do with this blog I realized that the previous posts might actually be helpful to others.
Since my purpose for this blog is to have a place to post teaching ideas, connect with other teachers, to post resources for my flipped classroom experience and other classroom technology ideas, I decided keeping the past postings would be beneficial to anyone wanting integrate technology into their classroom and teaching.  Please feel free to look through the previous posts. I hope you can get a few ideas.

This year I will be flipping my math instruction. What does that mean? It means that students will watch videos of lessons for homework and then do activities in class that would usually be sent home as homework. The "usual" classroom but FLIPPED!  I hope you will join me on my journey this year. This will be a learning experience for me that I'm sure will bring a lot of new challenges. I look forward to blogging about the successes and of course any mishaps. I hope that blogging about what I find works and doesn't work will help anyone that is interested in flipping their own classroom.
I will do my best to blog each week about how it went--lessons, class activities, videos, etc.
I welcome any questions you might have, but please remember I'm just beginner in flipped classrooms.
I look forward to a great year of learning--flipped learning that is :)
