Flipping the Class

Now here is a concept worth investigating. Instead of lecturing in class, turn it into a video to be watched for homework. Students watch the content presentation at home and the application of the content is done in class with the teacher's assistance. So why have we done it the other way all these years?

Online Learning

Attended a great leadership summmit last week in Oklhaoma City. Wow, what a lot of information. Students are enjoying online learning for so many different reasons--as many reasons as there are students. Educators need to jump on board and make this the best experience ever.

iPads in Education

To iPad or not to iPad--that is the question. Do we jump on this band wagon because others are doing so? Are they really that great? Will they change the way content is delivered in the classroom or will it just be an expensive new pencil for students? How can we be sure the technology we are adding to the classroom will be used as a learning tool and not a toy? The decisions are expensive so educators need to be sure before they take the leap.
