James, I agree that e-mail is best. I would certainly not text my students. Partly for the reasons you mentioned and partly because I fell text is a little more personal and I don't want that type of relationship with my students. Of course, that's a personal decision and as you stated, one that should be guided by the rules of your institution. Dr. Moody Crews

Stakeholders in the Flipped Classroom

Cynthia, All excellent points. It is difficult to sell new ideas because we all get very comfortable with our way of doing things. It's really difficult for those individuals who simply do not like change at all. Dr. Moody Crews

Nathan, That's wonderful. If you're getting that type of student evaluations I certainly would not change my style. I would just combine the concepts of the flipped classroom without losing what's already working. Dr. Moody Crews

Daniel, The videos should show them how to do/make the pastry. Therefore the video becomes the sage on the stage. Therefore, when they come to class the time is for baking. Dr. Moody Crews

Difference Between Traditional Pedagogy and Flipped Classroom

Charles, The activities that you do in class should be based on the content that they reviewed on-line. The activities may not be able to be completed if they haven't reviewed the content. Don't simply review what they should have watched on-line. Otherwise they won't see a need to watch it. Take your lectures beyond what they have already watched. Dr. Moody Crews

Jeffery, Student responsibility for their learning is important as long as we remember that their learning must be a joint effort between the student and the instructor. Dr. Moody Crews

Lisa, That's great. Here's a question for you. If the students are having fun and learning, why is the fact that class goes by so quickly so important to them? Not a criticism, just something to think about. Dr. Moody Crews
