Key questions you should ask before you flip your class — from Flipped Learning by jbergmann
Excerpt:
I am preparing to do a workshop with Icelandic Educators this week and I was asked to give them a list of questions to consider as they begin to flip their classes. As I wrote these I realized that many people could benefit from these questions. It is no doubt an incomplete list. If you have more questions that I should include, please comment and I will add them.

SmartBoard, make way for Educreations — from blogs.kqed.org by Katrina Schwartz
Excerpt:
One of the biggest, fastest shifts in ed tech the last couple years has been the evolution from the use of large interactive whiteboards to the use of mobile, agile multi-purpose apps. Currently, there are at least six products, all competing to become teachers’ favorite. Replay Note, ScreenChomp, ShowMe, DoodleCast Pro, Knowmia, Explain Everything and Educreations all offer teachers the ability to record the visual and audio components of a “whiteboard” lesson on their iPads, and share it online.

- Team-based content from newly-developed firms, organizations
- Each of us puts up our own learning materials for others to take (for free or for a price)

- Propose a model for implementation based on an experiential cycle of learning model.
