Collaborative Notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pg3bk812oA7Ybledk5-eYWqeXTMN9fG2r6OM0bu3WMI/edit

great example of a flipped classroom: []

Khan Academy- Check it out for flipped classroom

Issues- Students can't get questions answered, boring, easy to do it badly, lectures could be too long.

Need to manage the perception and it's important to introduce appropriately. Need to be extra careful with the assignments.

Example: Watch a video, then gave a quiz at the beginning of class (non-graded). Finally the students begin working or discussion (practice)

Can't force everyone to do it. Need to offer alternatives, like a menu.

Edmodo, YouTube, VoiceThread or Diigo- leave a comment, make it interactive when flipping the classroom. Need to get feedback.

Screencastomatic-screencasting tool

tenmarks- like Khan Academy, problem sets aligned with Educational Records Bureau (ERB). Discussion about whether the alignment with the ERB is good.

Flipped classroom can help differentiate instruction and this can also be tied to formative assessment.

Another example of a flipped classroom from Cyrus Carter, http://cartist.edublogs.org/2011/09/17/my-first-youtube-lesson/

Flipped Classroom - from EdSurge:

**VOCABULARY 101--THE FLIPPIN' CLASSROOM:** A rose is a rose is a rose--but only because most of us have a pretty darn good idea of what a rose is. Edtech is not just a new industry; it's introducing a new vocabulary. The [|**Innosight Institute folks**] have thoughtfully tried to help define terms around blended learning (and we've [|**made our own, modest contributions**] .) Now the ubersmart guy, Alex Hernandez at the Charter School Growth Fund, [|**weighs in with a discussion of what the "flipped classroom" should mean.**] Key point: "'Flipping the classroom' does not mean watching lectures for homework, it means flipping from teacher- to student-driven practices." Agree? Disagree? C'mon: [|**sharing is good for the soul.**]
