Lodge McCammon's technique for flipped teaching, involving hand-drawn boards and personal lectures. Interesting and potentially powerful, but remember that this is just one perspective on how to accomplish flipped teaching. There are others out there.

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. 

Another set of flipped classroom videos from math teacher Katie Gimbarr. Wonderful examples and rationale here.

Math teacher Katie Gimbar shares her whole flipped Algebra 1 class. Lots of great videos here, plus her rationale on how and why to flip.

Free physics and math "courses" for flipped teaching, from Derek Owens.

Math and Physics learning videos. Could be used for flipped teaching.

Videos and examples of flipped learning.

"Seven years of research at the University of Central Florida (UCF) has found that blended courses--those that combine face-to-face instruction with online learning and reduced classroom contact hours--have the potential to increase student learning while lowering attrition rates compared to equivalent, fully online courses. This research bulletin reports the results of a disciplined UCF program that has led to a fundamental redesign of the instructional model."

Tons of links and resources on blended learning, from Diigo.

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

"A blended learning approach combines face to face classroom methods with computer-mediated activities to form an integrated instructional approach." Leads to more links about blended learning as well.

"Online learning is sweeping across America. In the year 2000, roughly 45,000 K-12 students took an online course. In 2009, more than 3 million K-12 students did. What was originally a distance learning phenomenon no longer is. Most of the growth is occurring in blended-learning environments, in which students learn online in an adult-supervised environment at least part of the time. As this happens, online learning has the potential to transform America's education system..."

This one is worth reading, but not because it's necessarily worth following. It's a wrong-headed approach to tech integration, one that values the tools above the pedagogical goals -- because it assumes that the use of the tool is valuable in itself. What it omits is why any one of these scenarios can support learning... which would be a much more effective way to lobby a teacher to use it...

A nice range of uses for this social bookmarking tool. 

"Students and Professors Sound Off on the State of the College Lecture" Lots of personal examples, not a lot of theory. But useful to hear both sides of the experience.

A passionate and eloquent plea from a university lecturer, attesting to the continued relevance of the lecture as a learning tool. I value her point that a lecture promotes active listening, but I disagree with the notion that a technology that has worked for thousands of years should see continued use simply because it has worked in the past.[1] Given the multitudes of other means of delivery of information today (remember, the lecture was developed when the only other means to spread information was handwriting), the lecture as transmission of information is a tool, not THE tool. She also equates books to lectures, and says that if we abandon one we move toward abandoning the other. A bit of tenuous logic, if you ask me. Still, perhaps worth a read.  [1] See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scriptorium#Trithemius.27_Praise_of_Scribes

UConn professor demonstrates the difference between presentations with text and multimedia. A nice example of why multimedia is a better tool and creates less cognitive distraction when learning from a slideshow.
