Since I hadn't taken time to actually figure out how Diigo works and how it might be useful, I figured now was the time. I found this site that that helps get you started. I found the two videos posted in the Resources at the bottom of the page quite useful.

This slideshow is an interesting mix of content and graphic design from UpsideLearning.com. Their Resources web page has lots of useful info, too.

The Center for Teaching & Learning at the University of Texas-Austin offers useful information including a basic framework, benefits and references about flipping, and a quick-start guide with tips, techniques, and tools.

Since we were talking about communication last week, I liked reading this study. Students like ways to interact with each other online as well as in class; and faculty should communicate in a timely manner and give good feedback to students.

This is the second part of the video. :)

Although we have already learn this in chapter 1, this video explains it in a very easy way what it is. We can use to convince our faculty, coordinators, peers, etc :)

This is K12 oriented, but all of us can learn from each other. It includes 6 blended learning features, 10 blended learning drivers, and 4 common steps.

One former employer provided pacing guides. This resource streamlined the process of selecting corresponding animations and video clips.

This document provides 10 cases with examples of how teachers have implemented blended learning in classes with more that 100 students. But If you do not want to read all of it, it has like a summary of cases grouped according to what calls your attention. E.g "Flipping the traditional lecture (or equivalent resource) into the on-line space to allow for greater gains in the face-to-face aspect" and then it shows you which cases applied that.

"How Sedaris Writes Great First Sentences I don't know David personally, so the following tricks are pure speculation. But I have no doubt he would agree-or at least say I was close. 1. Find the hook. What draws people? Sex. Violence. Strange circumstances. Bizarre people. Surprising statements. Controversial positions. Of course you won't know the hook until you've written the first draft, which brings me to the next point. 2. Get rid of the first paragraph. Or two. Often, just to get started, we will throw everything on the table in the first couple of sentences. This is a tendency from school to explain what you are about to tell the reader. Break this habit if you want to seduce a reader with a first sentence. 3. Read lots of Sedaris. Or Truman Capote. Hemingway. Any great writer of fiction or non-fiction. 4. Type out a list of great first lines. Make this a long list. This will get you to concentrate and absorb the elements of the sentence. But it will do something else. See next point. 5. Review your list every time you write a first sentence. Need I say more? Your Turn"

Working on the DIY task on formulating assignments, I was looking for some writing tips that could be helpful for students. Here are four from Hemingway.

Lengthy report, but an excellent read, on interactions in online coursework specifically within LMS. Reported from Australian IHE.

Lit review of the effectiveness of online asynchronous environments from 2003. The section on online interactions and the descriptions of learner-learner, learner-content, and learner-instructor interaction within the Community of Inquiry model is a good introduction to the CoI framework and interactions online.
