From the site: "We must first focus on creating the engagement and then look at structures, like the flipped classroom, that can support. So educators, here are some things to think about and consider if you are thinking about or already using the flipped classroom model."

A list of videos from the likes of Sal Khan, Linda Darling-Hammond, Judy Willis, and other notables. Great minds, not necessarily thinking alike.

Overview of many educational technology vendors and systems. For our purposes, pay attention to the Curricula section.

Slideshare in which Robert Talbert explains his vision of a flipped classroom: its justification and its application in classes.

Math teacher Katie Gimbar answers questions about her flipped classroom. Good introductory information and some good answers, but a lot of this is from personal experience. Take with a grain of salt. 

Infographic with an overview of the flipped classroom model, its origins, and an example outcome.

Totally free to educators. "Can the expertise we have developed over the past 25 years enable us to produce technologies that enhance learning? The answer-an enthusiastic Yes-came only after deliberating with educators. SAS Curriculum Pathways is the result of those deliberations."

"This first article is an attempt to define what the Flipped Class is and what it is NOT."

"Video itself will not help kids achieve more in your class. The flipped classroom is about making connections with learners and differentiating your instruction. If videos are a part of that multi-faceted plan, great. If they are not, still great."

Online learning system used by High Tech High. Seems similar to Carnegie Learning. "Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces is a Web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine exactly what a student knows and doesn't know in a course. ALEKS then instructs the student on the topics she is most ready to learn. As a student works through a course, ALEKS periodically reassesses the student to ensure that topics learned are also retained. ALEKS courses are very complete in their topic coverage and ALEKS avoids multiple-choice questions. A student who shows a high level of mastery of an ALEKS course will be successful in the actual course she is taking."

Tons of BIo and AP Bio video resources from Paul Andersen.

Several multimedia explanations, and some readings and resources, about the flipped classroom. 

"Here is the problem with the term "Flipped Class:" it implies version one of our screencasting model: that which used to be done in class is now done at home, and that which used to be done at home, is now done in class.  In a nutshell, that IS "The Flipped Classroom," but it does not end there, which is why the term "The Flipped Classroom" does not do justice to the many models being used."

Katie Gimbar explains the reasons she flipped her classroom.
