Another good day today. Starting to get a lot of papers turned in. Struggling a little bit with how to get them all graded and returned in a timely manner...same problem with any classroom. Had a lot going on today and I am wondering if everyone is working up to level. The response from the kids was pretty positive after a week. The kids who didn't like it said they didn't like the assignments that we had done. I tried to explain to them that those assignments would have been there regardless of what style of classroom we had. No matter how you package it, some kids don't like to work. Overall, I am really excited about how things are going. It isn't perfect, but I like the way things are going. Maybe just "flipping" is the answer, the self-paced format may be too much for students.
Right now, I think next year may be: traditional classroom for quarter 1, flipped for quarters 2 and 3, and this open format for quarter 4. Too early to tell for sure though.
