    "It's been around for a few years now and had plenty of interest from around the world already, but Mr G Online has only just discovered Maths Maps. From first impressions, I am absolutely blown away by the idea. The brainchild of leading UK educator Tom Barrett, (now based in Australia), Maths Maps uses Google Maps as the launching pad for Maths Investigations. Barrett's vision was for teachers around the world to collaborate on building Maths Maps, examples of some seen in the screenshots on the left. Here is a brief description of how it works from the Maths Maps website. Elevator Pitch Using Google Maps. Maths activities in different places around the world. One location, one maths topic, one map. Activities explained in placemarks in Google Maps. Placemarks geotagged to the maths it refers to. "How wide is this swimming pool?" Teachers to contribute and share ideas. Maps can be used as independent tasks or group activities in class. Maps can be embedded on websites, blogs or wikis. Tasks to be completed by students and recorded online or offline."

Pros and Cons of The Flipped Classroom | TeachHUB - 2 views

  •   I useScreenr in conjunction with my iPad and the app Air Sketch to record the videos.  The students go to my website to view.
  • I know as I'm teaching, I get direct feedback from my students by looking at their faces and gauging comprehension. I, as a teacher, don't get that feedback as I'm designing and creating my videos.”
  • Helps kids who were absent, stay current.•Helps kids who don't get the lesson the first time in class.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Can attach Google spreadsheets or other online quizzes to check for comprehension, along with the video link sent to students
  • •I have a long way to go in my skill set in making the videos interesting (they, to me anyway, are really boring to watch).
  • I hope to continue to utilize this approach, but I'd like to find a more streamlined method. Right now I've looked mostly for lecture opportunities to "flip". The omission of these lectures in the classroom setting allows for more time to discuss literature and practice writing techniques.”
  • The videos are beneficial because they are easy to access and very easy to understand.  The textbook we use for an AP course is college level material- it is expected that students will be able to read at that level when taking an AP course.  However, many students are 'learning' how to read at that level. 
  • The videos are refreshing and entertaining, and may allow many to increase their literacy by having that 'access' to the text that may not have been available if they were to simply trudge through the work taking bland notes.”
  • without the proper methods to distribute technology and video information, the flipped model is doomed to fail.
  • As educators, shouldn’t our ultimate goal be to help students become “learners, who can learn for themselves, by themselves.”

    Shares both positive and negative examples straight from classroom teachers. Good food for thought and consideration if you're attempting the model!

    Every modern school should have at least 4 things in technology or take off the modern and just call yourself a school: a STEM Lab. If you want to make it STEAM - Science Technology Engineering, Arts, and Math, then go right ahead! You've still got STEM and you can't have technology without the arts.
