Both national and local talent are being used to help Minnesota students gain the benefits of video. That’s good news for students and a compliment to teachers who continue seeking new ways to help students learn more. Julie Cook, a Milaca math teacher, is, according to principal Troy Anderson, “doing the flipped method of teaching with her intermediate algebra classes. The students watch the instruction via the video clip outside of class. The students then have more work time with the expert during class time. Cook reports,” I have had positive reactions from most of my students. They like this method because they can watch the videos multiple times if needed and they are able to ask questions and work through the problems in class where I am able to help them. Of course, as with all new things, I had a few students that struggled with the change, but after a few weeks most of them are now telling me how much they enjoy it. Their scores have also shown the benefits of this approach.
