Spotlight on Innovation: Math Teacher Mike Riedy

The Challenge: Provide students with the rehearsal and reinforcement opportunities of a flipped classroom without giving up the face-to-face engagement of a live lesson. Read below for more about Mike Riedy’s “Backwards Flip.”

The Assignment: Record every classroom lesson, including student questions and responses, and post a link to this lesson onto the Schoology class site.

The Tools: A Smart Board, a directional microphone, and the Screen Flow app.

The Result: Students are able to review and rehearse difficult concepts while also playing a role in the creation of each class lesson.

The Next Step: Teachers who record their lessons will help their departments build an archive of recorded lessons available for struggling students, new teachers, and substitute teachers.
