**Mastery Learning in a Hybrid Environment**
 * Teachers from Woodland Park, CO - [|__http://fc.wpsdk12.org/~kboyer/__]
 * Students just copy everything down but do not understand the content. Therefore, they cheat, get frustrated, call a friend, miss essential content.
 * Presenters have not “lectured “in years as they use podcasts. These are for sale :)
 * Two science teachers collaborate to create the podcasts
 * Using Camtasia, microphone and webcam/camera
 * placed on screencast.com, itunes, teacher tunes, flash drives, burned to DVD for kids without internet
 * Set up lab stations so each person can do the lab at their own pace. Kids work through the curriculum at their own pace. Worked really well with Earth/Space science.
 * Students can take tests as many times as they want. Tests are on Moodle. Always a different version of the test. Required to retake tests until they get a 75% or higher. Okay to keep taking the test to get a higher score.
 * Big idea: important to teach students how to learn on their own
 * Being accused of not teaching - I still provide instruction and resources. Students are just doing the majority of the work rather than the teacher.
 * Has a nonessential unit at the end of the semester, the “slush” unit, that not all students get to. Allows time for kids who are far behind.
 * Immediate feedback
 * verbal grading on the fly
 * higher level kids must fix mistakes
