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

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 :)

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. :)

"MOOC and online courses are changing the face of higher education. Here are some details on how some colleges are adapting." This infographic shows that MOOCs will not replace traditional, residential classes at least in the near future contrary to popular belief among some MOOC fans. The biggest reason behind MOOCs complementary role in education could be their unidirectional nature which makes it difficult for students to receive personalized/differentiated instruction, in-depth feedback, and other mediums for deep learning. Nevertheless, they offer great resources for those highly motivated, self-directed/regulated learners. Another interesting issue in the infographic is that the U.S. colleges, at least almost 60% of them, are willing to integrate online component into their regular college education; I really wonder what statistics our Turkish universities would provide. :)

"I really wonder what statistics our Turkish universities would provide." This is a good research question Yasin and I would really like to learn the answer. :) Bets anyone? :)

An article by Rob Klindt. Online teacher communities offer one of the best ways for new and veteran educators to keep up with industry trends. These communities encourage teachers to collaborate and share resources with colleagues, discuss teaching strategies and connect with experts in the education field.

Edutopia is an example of online communities of practice for educators.

The site is about how to flip our classroom

Thank you Mine for sharing this website. I especially love the resources section. This is definitely going to be one of my bookmarks, and it can serve as a manual for absolute beginners like me.

OK, so you know about all of these great tools out there that can transform teaching and learning in your classroom but all you have is an ancient PC in the corner of your room. How can you effectively integrate technology with this dinosaur? Hopefully this post will help.

Thanks Hatice, The link provides some onlinetools and some strategies to use them. I have now added this to my bookmarks since I was already looking for online tools for sharing, communication, collaboration and reflection for my classes. Edublogs and Typewith.me seem to be pretty exciting to use :)

What began as modest and sometimes heroic efforts by faculty members to use resources and materials found on the Internet to provide their students with alternatives to buying expensive textbooks has blossomed into the Open Educational resources (OER) movement, which is gaining traction nationwide.

It is a good video explaining OERs :)

Washington state community college students seeking an associate degree will soon be able to opt for a competency-based online business transfer degree that uses open educational resources (OER) in all courses. The courses are under creation in partnership with Lumen Learning.

This may help to overcome Discovery challenge of Open Education Resources

Creative Commons is a thing when you are into OER business. This kinda infographic showed its pathway in a clear way. Thanks, Özlem!

This article is about opportunities and challenges of open educational resources for higher education. Moreover, some open educational resources examples such as MIT Open Course Ware (http://ocw.mit.edu) are given.

It's quite useful for us to see the pros and cons of OERs in higher education in the very well written paper. Thanks Sibel!

Brief introduction to Open Educational Reosurces

This page provides a register of OER providers in the teacher education area, links to OER search engines, and other aggregate sites, allowing you to find further resources.
