This site is devoted to teaching educators how to use screencasting and the flipped classroom. This website is really beneficial because you can apply flipped method and then you can record your video and post here. Then the members can watch and give feedback. Also there are some videos showing this.You need to be member for this website but I think it worths.

This week we are going to look at how we can use flipped classroom in our classrooms - as a teacher. This link provides a student perspective to this technology.

This free online community offers educators the opportunity to exchange ideas and resources.

The author says "There are so many new and exciting things to try both in and out of the classroom." Thus, s(he) offers a list of 16 Things for Teachers to Try in 2016 (I think, they are suitable for 2017:) ) to help inspire educators to try something new. Enjoy :)

This infographic summarizes the 4 key findings of a study with more than 600 K-12 teachers. Among the key findings are 3 barriers that are considered by the participants to have the potential to prevent them from using more technology in their classes. Two of the barriers mentioned, lack of technical support and training, are pretty common in the literature, but the third one was interesting to me. 33% of the participants argued that because they cannot figure out whether a student is on task or not while performing something on a technological device, they refrain from using it.

A nice and short infographic for those who asked the question "If this is the flipped class, wthat is the blended class?" It clarifies the difference between blended and flipped classrooms.

Can we say the common thing is the technology use or online activities for both of them. Without online courses or practices can we talk about any type of blended learning or flipped classroom ?

Since we usually complain about a lack of resources that include the voices of Turkish students, I found this page useful in terms of pondering on what Turkish students may potentially experience with flipped classrooms. You can read their reflections/comments/opinions on a flipped social studies classroom through this link. Feel free to explore the other contents on the website as well. :)

Wow, these students, though they are 7th graders, are able to form sentences with a good amount of intellectual load. They are aware of concepts such as "eğitim devrimi; öğrenme ortamı; öğrenme deneyimi" and many more. I wonder if this is another advantage of "flipped classroom modeli" because none of the college students I teach are capable of forming sentences as elegant as these.

To be honest, their comments are surprising for me too, especially when I see that they have experienced no challenge or discomfort in terms of adapting to this new model. Plus, all those comments look like they are promoting a market product. :) Perhaps our educational system has accomplished to raise students who are highly motivated and capable of adapting to rapid changes. :)

In this short informative video clip, two experienced flippers offer a number of ways to overcome the challenges posed by the flipped classrooms. Here is the outline of the video: - alternative ways on how to access content, - how to watch educational videos, - the optimum length of the videos, - how to motivate students to watch the videos before coming to class, - some techniques to improve the quality of the videos, - the flexibility of flipped approaches, - the importance of contextual factors on the effectiveness of flipped classrooms.

this video illuminated me about the minimum properties of an instructional video. I agree that while providing a video teacher should consider the grade of students. Language, clarity and length of video is important to gain student attention. And this is a good idea that starting with small pieces may be good to try the flipped classroom model and adjust students.

"Teachers in many subjects, including math, science and foreign languages, are all using technology to switch up the way students learn. However, one area that hasn't recently been in the spotlight is physical education (PE), where it's assumed students just run around playing soccer or basketball." If you wonder about flipped learning in physical education, this sharing is for you ;)

There is an article about flipped classroom in physical education (PE). It gives general information on what flipped learning is, and why this is a teaching method for the future. Also, it informs to readers how the method can be applied to the subject PE. There is nothing new; the method is the same as the other courses.

A TED talk by Harry Dyer, a Digital Sociologist at the university of East Anglia. In the video, he discusses how we can better understand the youth and their relationships with SM tools through SM and how we should integrate their skills into the classroom.

This is a website for teachers that provides various simulation resources ;)
