"For the uninitiated, the flipped concept suggests that we can now use technology to offload many of the more mundane classroom tasks - lectures primarily. It's not hard to see the appeal, with the advent of Khan Academy and easy screencast-recording technology that allows any of us to give a lecture for homework and free up time for in-class problem-solving and discussion. But here's the thing: flipping is nothing new, and as it stands, most flipping that I see doesn't flip the most important switch that I've been discussing here - moving ownership of learning away from the teacher and more toward the student."

"A major roadblock or barrier to implementing the flipped classroom is that many educators do not know what to do in the classroom with the time once spent doing lectures. For educators, who are used to and use the didactic model, a framework is needed to assist them with the implementation of the Flipped Classroom." This is a good resource to share with students in my education programs as they learn to integrate technology into their teaching practice.

A powerful tool for finding short clips for every class.

Most instructional technology implementation efforts focus their efforts around a few key areas. In our experience, these areas most often are: As a way of establishing what's possible or ideal in each of these areas, we find that it's useful to review how the relevant research describes "best practice".

"There's an ongoing debate about the role social media should play in education. Advocates point out the benefits that social media provides for today's digital learners while critics call for regulation and for removing social media from classrooms. Finding a middle ground has become a challenge." The is an article that provides a look at both sides of integrating social media into the classroom, and was referred to by several student in this class to help them look at this debate.
