"All my teaching is now one-to-one and not surprisingly, my grades are soaring. In the classroom I only teach individual students the specific points they highlight as unclear after watching the video lesson and I monitor progress on the projects they've designed to prove understanding of the content. This I've done within a traditional exam-based school structure and have students who are not focused on grades but more on what they can best do with their time at school, especially now that the time is very much theirs not mine."

Not sure that I love his instructional practice completely but he makes some good points and there are instructions at the bottom of the post to help someone "flip" their classroom.

When I received the invitation from the new Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, I decided to completely upgrade two seminar workshops. Dr Ian Green from the School of Education here at Adelaide and I have used Padagogy101 (introduction to iPad in HE) and Padagogy201 (more advanced use for L&T) to train over 600 faculty from universities in Australia. For Singapore, Ian wasn't going to be with me and I was solo, as well I needed a better way to leave resources in place for people to revisit. However I was completely surprised at what else happened. During my research I saw lots of great work done by others using Bloom's Taxonomy including the Revised Taxonomy which has now become the Bloom's Digital Taxonomy. However when I discovered the excellent pioneer work done by Kathy Schrock with "Bloomin' Apps" I got the idea for the Padagogy Wheel. Dare I say it but it is the next version for mobile learning of the ongoing importance of Bloom's Taxonomy. Bloom's is still fundamental to good teaching and learning.
