So as I try to flip my room I find some small problems and I myself to be a problem.
So one of the issues I am having is trouble with internet and students adapting to watching videos for homework. In our rural community some students do not have access to reliable internet, so as an instructor I must be prepared to give multiple days for assignments (just have to adapt my plans). I also must do a better job of checking that they do the videos (notes).
I have always found checking homework to be a task. Sometimes I collect it or check it at the desk, or just tell the students that it will wait for the next day. I know some homework has value, but the class time is always more valuable - but the videos are a higher priority. They need to be watched prior to the class time to be really effective and that means my attitude must evolve. But as your typical cro magnon man I find that difficult.
I need to keep focus - but all the preps wear on you. The main thing is that I take small steps - if I keep small stepping the flipping will eventually get there.
