UPDATE (4/9/13): For an update to my math circles, click here. As you can see by the title of this post I am a bit conflicted on what I want to title my new math project...for now I'm going with Math Circles because the idea stemmed from Literature Circles.
So here was/is my dilemma. I spend the majority of my time during math class having discussions about the videos the students watched the previous night. I do think this is valuable, but I want my students to take more ownership in this part of their learning. Since I want neither of those things, I needed to find a way to make their group work both meaningful and spelled out for them. What I came up with was Math Circles. Discussion Director - Leads the discussion and keeps everyone on track. Calculator - Makes sure that the groups answers to the questions from the video are actually correct. Spokesperson - Is the voice of the group.
I have a list of procedures spelled out for the groups. Teachem Reviews. Simply put teachem allows anyone to create a class from YouTube videos by adding time stamped flashcards and review questions. Why did we create this? There is a lot of video on YouTube. To give you an idea of how fast it is growing in two days of uploads it would take more than a decade to view all the video. YouTube also boasts over 700,000 educational videos in its EDU channel. From a learning standpoint we estimate there is more knowledge on YouTube than has ever been in one location in human history. While this leads to a lot of opportunity it can also be very overwhelming. We made creating a class on Teachem so simple it only take 30 seconds to get started. We believe teachem can do the same for teaching as blogging did for publishing. Best of all, it’s free. What do we believe in at teachem? First off, we do not like waste. Second, we love organizing information. Third, we obviously love learning.
Fourth, and finally, we love simplicity. Explain Everything Reviews. Explain Everything is an easy-to-use design tool that lets you annotate, animate, and narrate explanations and presentations.

Flipped Classroom. Hanging Out CREDIT: Marines (CC) The "flipped classroom" is an innovative teaching strategy that allows students to think on a deeper level. Rather than students listening to content instruction in the traditional classroom, they do so outside of class through a recorded online lecture. They then come back to class prepared to discuss and engage in activities concerning what they learned from the recording. For more information see What is the Flipped Classroom? Carnegie Council offers a twist on the traditional "flipped classroom. " Rather than entire lectures or guided instruction, we offer an abbreviated version of this, along with thought provoking questions that the teacher can use in class.
