I bookmarked this to elaborate on 2 other articles I found because it is a very nice and visual tool describing the concept of a "flipped classroom." As a homework hater this concept is very exciting to me that the student come to class ready to engage rather than expecting the student to carry on enthusiasm at home AFTER the lecture. There are diagrams and drawings which really help me comprehend and remember an article. There are also useful links at the end. I will revisit this site for more articles that are as visually pleasing.

The Khan Academy is a leading online education tool. Founder Salman Khan started the company after tutoring his niece who was struggling with middle school math.
