 [|**Daniel Edwards** ‏@syded06]  [|7h] Top 10 Do’s and Don’ts When Flipping Your Classroom [|#**edchat**] http://bit.ly/1cnfQg4 One of the articles I read was the do's and don't of flipping a classroom. One of the main points made in the do's was to make sure you find information and activities that the students want to engage in and find exciting. PowerPoint has been very over used and students often find it boring. One of the major points in the don't section was to not assume that because you have a 1:1 ratio that your students are completing the tasks. You need to make sure they are still using the material and check for comprehension.

> 5 classroom strategies to help students become better listeners: http://edut.to/17hfVtV [|#**edchat**] [|#teaching]

The other article I read was 5 ways to get students to engage and listen to the information being presented. One of the strategies presented was to only say the information once, but then to have the students turn to each other and tell each other what the other one heard and learned and see if they can come up with any similarities or differences. Another idea was to put children into small groups and only let one person speak at a time, but the person who goes second has to paraphrase what the person before them said before they can say what they want to say to be sure everyone is paying attention to what the others are saying.
