As part of an initiative that I am a part of through Marshall University and the Harless center, my students are participating in a flipped classroom initiative where students can watch videos at "home" or after school which would allow for more meaningful discussion during the school day (more time for labs and hands-on activities). I encourage all of my students to take notes when they are watching a video. Unlike in teaching, videos allow for students to pause, rewind or skip segments.

Remember that this project is in it's infancy and all of the teachers involved in this initiative from Cabell and Mason counties are working to make it work for their classroom and students.

Welcome back! Here are your daily updates:

Science: Recipe for success for the 3rd 6 weeks (a little late); Pre-assessment on motion and momentum; video on motion

Here is a link to some WV History resources for the students this week. I may make a few changes to it, but the text (pdf) will still be up there. Basically this link is valid while I'm still teaching the class.
