NC Class Builds Low-Cost Smartboards

The Flipped Classroom is gaining steam in schools across the world. Flipped classes focus on student interaction and engagement in class and a major component is the technology that can be used to create, deliver, and collaborate. Richard has posted on many of these tools, so I'll be sharing how I use a combination of tools in a typical unit.

I really enjoyed these videos from different schools all over the country. Many of the topics covered relate to what was shared in our class last week.

Larry Cuban gives insight into the debate purchasing technology for classes

The classes have a lot of students in them...maybe size doesn't matter.

This looks like such a great opportunity! I agree with Tamara, the class size is a bit large

Scaling Up a Video Game-Learning Link Isn't it time we leveled up? By Michael H. Levine & Alan Gershenfeld At an event at the White House in September, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced the establishment of the Digital Promise , a nonprofit initiative created to promote digital technologies with the potential to transform teaching and learning. Experts on digital media and learning cheered this latest signal that robust experimentation with technology based on rigorous research and development would take a more prominent place in the national education reform debate. In tandem with the Digital Promise rollout, our organizations-the Joan Ganz Cooney Center and E-Line Media-announced the second year of the National STEM Video Game Challenge . This video-game-design competition is intended to motivate interest in science, technology, engineering, and math, or STEM, learning among America's young people by tapping into students' natural passion for playing and making video games. Why games? Are video games really a key element of an untapped "digital promise"? We believe the answer is yes. But we are also acutely aware that realizing this promise will take a concentrated effort by dedicated scientists, game designers, teachers, supervisors, educational publishers,...

Flipped Conference 2012 Don't miss the 2012 Flipped Class Conference

How can you engage your students and be sure they are learning the conceptual foundations of a lecture course? In From Questions to Concepts, Harvard University Professor Eric Mazur introduces Peer Instruction and Just-in-Time teaching -- two innovative techniques for lectures that use in-class discussion and immediate feedback to improve student learning. Using these techniques in his innovative undergraduate physics course, Mazur demonstrates how lectures and active learning can be successfully combined. This video is also available as part of another DVD, Interactive Teaching, which contains advice on using peer instruction and just-in-time teaching to promote better learning.

Wikipage for our class.

DonorsChoose.org online charity for classrooms in need.

Great site for teachers and students to use to review math concepts. Covers a variety of math classes and content. Also has review, enrichment, and even calculator practice.

Podcasts are another way students can use their personal technology equipment for educational purposes. They can be used for class lectures, test reviews, or even to create portions of "read aloud" text for students to follow. Here you will find review podcasts for many of your school subjects! Click on the Subjects tab and explore the full list of topics!

Nice job posting to the group and adding useful resources that were shared in class and one you found on your own.

They have become known around the world as the first teachers to flip the classroom.  In the flipped classroom, the students watch video lessons made by their teachers and then use class time to do more hands-on activities and work with their teacher on difficult topics. For more info on flipping the classroom see the links here .
