Turning Learning on its Head

This is a very interesting concept of using digital learning at home and then having class time be used for project based work.

Yes! Flipped Classroom is a terrific concept. I have been really wanting to try it, but have not been able to make it around to creating the videos. A great site for videos is Khan Academy...maybe I should post that! :)

The "7 Things You Should Know About..." series provide quick reads with concise information about emerging technologies and practices. The Campus-Wide IT section addresses professional challenges in higher education, while the Learning Technology section discusses individual technologies or practices. I could bookmark at least a dozen of these relevant articles (microlectures, social content curation, educational design research, e-readers, cloud computing, and so on), which is why I'm saving the main page instead.

This was actually introduced to me recently by my daughter's preschool teacher. Sure I had seen the commercials- but I had no idea it is FREE for teachers! I shared it with my Kindergarten team and we are all in love. So many lessons can be used on the smartboard, and you can create individual learning paths for each child.
