Thank you Yasin & Serap!

"The classroom of the future probably won't be led by a robot with arms and legs, but it may be guided by a digital brain." This article seems to be pretty much related to our in-class discussion today. P.S. I have come across this while browsing Twitter via the hashtag #engchat. Thanks for the hashtag list guys!

According to information they provided, this site is using digital technology to teach kids math, social media in the classroom and the power of learning code for girls. There is a video how they work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riZStaz8Rno

"Join over 33 million teachers and students safely connecting in online classrooms, collaborating on assignments, discovering new resources, and more!"

* Edmodo is an online networking application for teachers and students. * Think Facebook, but in a safe and controlled environment appropriate for school edmodo is primarily a tool for within class communication, but it also provides several ways for teachers to connect with other teachers. * Over 500,000students are using edmodo worldwide

Bunch of inspiring ideas to use Twitter for educational contexts. I've been benefiting from a couple of them in my classes, and I safely assert that Twitter increases interaction of the students, if properly used.

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. :)
