This site is similar to the Khan Academy, except the video tutorials are made and contributed by a wide variety of individuals. As a result, the quality (and credibility) of some of the videos is questionable, but there are still some useful videos here.
Course Description
This course is designed for teachers and administrators interested in the flipped classroom model. The course has two main components: WHY flip your classroom and HOW to flip your classroom.
Why Flip?
Participants will get a glimpse into the what and why of the flipped classroom beginning with an iBook. This iBook will provide readers with the history, background, research, and examples of flipped classrooms through interactive texts, keynotes, and videos. This text is the preface to the second portion of the course addressing how to flip the classroom.
In this nine-minute video I explain how to use a feature in Microsoft Word to automatically insert text (with hyperlinks) into a student's essay. Doing so saves the instructor a significant amount of time, and provides the student with "just in time" resources.
