Is it the inherent characteristics of the technology (power point) that makes these lectures boring, or is it us? Think about affordances and limitations.

A widely preferred technique in flipped classrooms is to provide learners with short video lectures before the class time. The videos can be in the form of screen captures, webcam recordings of the lecturer, or in more professional setting, recordings of the lecturer in a real classroom setting. Here in this video, you can see an example of such a video in which a lecturer introduces how to use TED Ed, a popular tool for flipped classrooms.

This presentation is the most effective ı have ever seen. And also last minutes of the presentaion, it gives important mesages. I again see that technology can change everything in education. In what way? for example as Mishra presented, you can do lecture in your class but it can be followed all around the world even if it is a lecture. You can spread your lecture through the world. If you are a little bit creative, you can develop your presentation or teaching/learning activitives and make them very effective. At that point technology usage is not only using computers or smart boards, it also helps gaining attention, makes your classroom activities more global. Mishra gives emphasis on effective usage of technology. An email can be used as a reminder or a storage area. So the final point is that teachers should be equipped for usaing technology in their classroom not only in sake of using it but also bringing up creative, collaborative, sharer generations.

The flipped classroom describes a reversal of traditional teaching where students gain first exposure to new material outside of class, usually via reading or lecture videos, and then class time is used to do the harder work of assimilating that knowledge through strategies such as problem-solving, discussion or debates.

Presemo provides a flexible suite of participation activities and accommodates different workflows. As always in class, there's more than just one way to do it. Presemo focuses on developing mobile participation platforms that teachers can use during lectures to support greater interactivity, communication and collaboration among students.

They offer more than 300 Harvard classes in several formats online to deliver convenient Harvard lectures to your computer or mobile device. Most of our distance education courses are offered in our 15-week fall or spring semester.

I've been facilitating the extension program since my undergrad years which is beyond useful, to me. We'll also cover some aspects of it in our presentation. Thanks for sharing, İpek!

Over the past two years, the Flipped Learning method has created quite a stir. Some argue that this teaching method will completely transform education, while others say it is simply an opportunity for boring lectures to be viewed in new locations. While the debate goes on, the concept of Flipped Learning is not entirely new.

Here is a very short but informative video to explain the logic of flipped classroom

I also liked it. This video briefly explaining an example of flipped classroom clearly. So, I think it can be useful of understanding its meaning. At the end of the video there are comments of teachers. One says that: This is nice and all, but all it takes for this to completely fail (I've tried it) is several students who simply don't want to work say "I don't have a computer" or "I work until three in the morning." Some legitimately don't (not sure how you get around that) and some are simply lazy (don't think so? I did a lecture where students were given a sheet of paper which had sentences with missing words that I would GIVE them, and one student would not even do that). Other says that: They have smart phones, don't they? If they had time for homework outside of class, why wouldn't they have time for videos instead?... So they are really discussing the flipped classroom in practice..

Avatars can be used by classroom teachers when designing digital stories or delivering content. Avatars can represent a tour guide explaining travels along the Silk Road, or represent real life characters like Mark Twain giving a lecture on his home or Einstein introducing the solar system.

Here you can find activity examples for that can be used in-class for the flipped classroom. You should see the group activity examples which are interesting.

Some of these assessment tools will be a part of our in-class discussion, Sezin. Thanks for sharing!

Indeed, some of these activities could also be used for our TPACK game. Thanks :)
