Interesting article on a teacher's decision to end using the flipped classroom model.  Also, the article refers to a student-centered approach, not a teacher-centered approach. 

The flipped classroom is something that I have been interested in doing when I become a teacher so I find this interesting. I saved it to look at more later but from what I read she did love some things about the flipped classroom and says that when she wrote about it in a previous post she doesn't disagree with anything she had written but that she has now decided to end it anyway. Looking at her reasons why she decided to end it, I think it seems it was more of just a personal preference than the fact that it didn't work well or that there were any major problems with it. It's definitely something I will read more carefully later on though!

This blog has a lot of cute and creative ideas to use in a first grade classroom.  I plan to use this site to generate some ideas for my future classroom.

This blog is awesome, i really liked it and enjoyed it. this will be very useful for kids. this blog have been designed to meet specific reading aspects for grade 1 students. well done work.

Thanks for sharing this blog. Although I am a Special Education teacher I still felt like their were a lot of ideas I could apply to my classroom. It's always fun to see what other educators out their are doing. This blog would be used primarily for teachers as its all about ideas in the classroom for instruction and projects. However you could use it to create a project choice list for you students to choose to complete so many by the end of the year.

This is a good way to do intensive planning to integrate technology into your classroom, or to plan technology lessons.  It is a K-12 resource and includes video examples of classrooms.

What a great reference tool for any teacher, not just technology users.

Wow! This is seriously a great planning resource. This should be utilized for this course, as an additional resource to look at how to more effectively integrate some of the technology we are learning about into our own lesson planning. I am bookmarking this onto my own lists, right now. Obviously a tool for teachers more than for students, I will be using this for a unit planning assignment I'm doing in my Human Relations course right now! Thanks for sharing!

This website has a great number of resources for Elementary Teachers.  There are teaching materials, free printables, literacy centers, etc.

I really enjoyed looking into this due to the fact that their are many resources within this. I am able to use this website to broaden my resources for lessons plans. I too plan to teach in the elementary school so this is something I will most definitely use this for my future classroom.

This website seems to have great tips for management and lessons. I love the laundry basket idea for reading books. Sometimes you just need a lesson plan reference and this site had lots!

Really interesting study from Pepperdine on the effectiveness of iPads in a school setting.  There are some awesome nuggets of information to pull out here for everyone involved with the 1:1 movement.

A great study that actually looked at the realistic results of putting iPads in a college setting. This was a scientific study that yielded some interesting results.

A great source for collaborative tools for both teachers and students. One of the coolest parts of GFE is the lesson plan search!! Can easily search for what you're looking for in a lesson plan and come up with many ideas and outlines to get you started.

Google for Educators is a very good tool for teachers to use, i liked the way it organized, it is easy to research and find what you want, classroom videos are awesome tools to use.

Just FYI: sorry if this gets posted twice. I accidentally posted these far before the assignment was due, and wanted to ensure they are still visible on the group.
