Re-imagining a Flipped Classroom - 2 views

  •  
    Brief post decrying traditional concepts of the flipped classroom in favor of a more 'Duckworthian' approach
  •  
    Good point, Tim, the flipped classroom doesn't flip who's listening during the lecture phase, does it? Could the teach then use Duckworth's model in class, or does the existence of a lecture phase at all limit the effectiveness of her approach?

    This article weighs in both side of flipping classrooms. "Good teaching, regardless of discipline, should always limit passive transfer of knowledge in class, and promote learning environments built on the tenants of inquiry, collaboration and critical thinking."

Study Finds That Online Education Beats the Classroom - Bits Blog - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    A pretty bold assertion - "On average, students in online learning conditions performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction."
  •  
    I believe it. Having come as close to a controlled study of this as is possible in day-to-day life (taught the same course in classrooms and online), there's definitely a different level of engagement online.

PhotoLapse Makes Time-Lapse Movie Creation a Snap - Time Lapse - Lifehacker - 0 views

  •  
    An easy way to make time-lapse videos could be great in the classroom, especially for science. I can picture setting up a camera on the little seeds that kids plant for mother's day and then when they send home their flowers they can also watch a youtube video with mom showing the flower grow from start to finish - literally. Watch a culture grow.  Document behavior in the classroom and play back for parents quickly...the possibilities are endless.

  •  
    Really interesting article on a school district in New Jersey that is testing iPad use across multiple classroom subjects . The district purchased 60 devices for students in the testing program. Pending the results, they are considering providing all of their high school students with the device as early as next year.

    Thanks for contributing this great article. I am going to closely monitor this "experiment" and may potentially seek to interview some of the teachers who created this iPad curriculum for the various courses.
  •  
    I'd really like to see one of these lessons in action- this sounds cool. I wonder, do the ipads stay in the classrooms?

  •  
    What about providing students iPads so that they purchase textbooks on these devices to save resources for both the students and the school? Can we assume that all students will be comfortable using an iPad, or might there be implications for students with learning differences? What about the socioeconomic gap for students who cannot afford a computer to LOAD the books onto their iPads (even if the iPads themselves were provided)?
