Fizz Method | Dr. Lodge McCammon. The Fizz Method of recording video lectures opens the door for more effective use of class time, provides a more personalized approach to learning, and helps build better relationships among students, teachers, and parents. Teachers using the Fizz Method develop and reflect upon their own series of efficient video lectures specific to their content area (e.g., algebra, biology, etc.). Students can watch the video lectures for homework or any time during the class period, which allows teachers to use more of the class time for application, differentiated instruction, and student collaboration; in effect, flipping the classroom.

Making the teacher-created video lectures accessible creates more flexibility in student learning. Students can access learning material anywhere and anytime. This self-paced learning environment can lead to increased achievement, [13] in part because students are able to review a video as many times as needed. . – Dr. . [1] Benedict, M. & Hoag, J.

In their book Profit from the Core, Chris Zook and James Allen report that between 1988 and 1998, seven out of eight companies in a global sample of 1,854 large corporations failed to achieve profitable growth. That is, these companies were unable to deliver 5.5% annual real growth in revenues and earnings while earning their cost of capital (a rather modest hurdle). Yet 90% of the companies in the study had developed detailed strategic plans with much higher targets.

Why is there such a persistent gap between ambition and performance? The gap arises, we believe, from a disconnect in most companies between strategy formulation and strategy execution. It doesn’t have to be like this. Some companies, of course, have achieved better and longer-lasting improvements than others. This might appear to be nothing more than a new name for the familiar strategic planning unit.

The professor poses an elaborate interrogation question and calls on Elle, who is clearly unprepared to answer. The professor next calls on Elle’s nemesis, asking whether Elle has answered the question correctly and why her response was correct or incorrect. As the scene unfolded, I sat up in my chair and thought, there’s a great example of response chaining! This Socratic-style questioning technique is highly effective at managing student response rates (strategy 26 on the Marzano Learning Map) and engaging students in class discussions (Design Question 5: What will I do to engage my students?)

Included: Nineteen activities and nearly 50 Web sites. Integrating technology into the curriculum is a priority -- if not a mandate -- in most schools today. Most educational technology experts agree, however, that technology should be integrated, not as a separate subject or as a once-in-a-while project, but as a tool to promote and extend student learning on a daily basis. The challenge, of course, is in finding ways to use technology -- and to help students use it -- that don't take time away from core subjects.
