  • It is not about having fun while learning something; it is about being engaged while learning it.
  • Interactive content is not necessarily inquiry-promoting content — boasting several animations and interactive buttons for the user to click-and-explore does not mean that it is able to get students thinking deeply and posing questions to seek clarification for understanding, or to apply what is taught (in that piece of content) in new situations
  • Put simply and in the context of the flipped classroom, simply forcing students to view a lesson at home before a lesson in class, or rewarding those who do, just won’t work. Having the lesson fronted by a teacher who inspires the students may work for a while but may not be sustainable in the long term.

  • The benefits of a flipped classroom are progressively recognized and relatively well-documented (Fulton, 2012; Bergmann & Sams, 2013; Bergmann 2011; Ash, 2012). In its ideal state, a flipped classroom can transform the learning experience of students. But this also means that students will need to commit close to two times the amount of time in official lessons for any given topic: once inside the classroom (lesson) and another at home watching the lesson presentation.

  • A 2010 Kaiser Family Foundation study found that 'Eight- to eighteen-year-olds spend more time with media than in any other activity besides (maybe) sleeping-an average of more than 7½ hours a day, 7 days a week.'
  • the concept of curation as a pedagogical tool to embolden critical inquiry and engagement
  • Jenkins highlights the type of online activities that participatory spaces enable-archive, annotate, appropriate and recirculate-which occur in real time and in the context of abundant information flow

  • To curate, historically, has meant to take charge of or organize, to pull together, sift through, select for presentation, to heal and to preserve
  • The preservation and organization of content online is now largely the responsibility of the individual in highly personalized information spaces
  • Across all levels of education today, students enter the classroom with a certain level of familiarity with digital tools and platforms (Prensky, 2001; Ofcom, 2010; Rosen, 2010). The notion that this familiarity translates to a heightened level of technological competence has been contested at all levels of education

  • Libraries are reinventing themselves as content becomes more accessible online and their role becomes less about housing tomes and more about connecting learners and constructing knowledge.

  • Printed books still play a critical role in supporting learners, but digital technologies offer additional pathways to learning and content acquisition. Students and teachers no longer need a library simply for access. Instead, they require a place that encourages participatory learning and allows for co-construction of understanding from a variety of sources.

  • a flexible space with moveable chairs, desks, and even bookshelves. Small rooms can be opened up to allow for group projects, and the circulation desk as well as the sides of the stacks are writeable with dry-erase markers to encourage the collaboration and sharing that the previous space had discouraged.
  • the space does include paper books and physical artifacts, as well as flexible furniture and an open environment, digital content encourages students to explore, play, and delve deeper into subjects they may not otherwise experience
  • interact with the content, the technology, the space, and each other in order to gain context and increase their knowledge.
  • the role of the coffeehouse in the birth of the Enlightenment -- it provided "a space where people would get together from different backgrounds, different fields of expertise, and share."
