Using Camtasia in the Flipped Classroom. The following is an interview with middle school science teacher, Dave Crowder.
Mr. Crowder is presenting on using Camtasia for Flipped Classrooms at the conference InnEdCo on June 17th. 1. How long have you been using the flipped class model? What got you started? First, let me define what a “flipped classroom” is. The way I got started flipping lessons was shortly after I bought my last computer – a Macbook Pro in 2008, I decided to tackle a tough conceptual question “How do we know space distances so well, considering that we can’t go and measure them with long rulers?” The full answer in this video takes a historical look at who first figured out the size of the earth and how he did it, who and how was the lunar distance first calculated, then who used parallax to calculate close star distances, and finally how are extreme star distances measured with red shift.

The West Unbound: Social and Cultural Studies 1915-8181 The West Unbound: Social and Cultural Studies series (print)1915-819X The West Unbound: Social and Cultural Studies series (electronic) Series Editor(s): Alvin Finkel and Sarah Carter Writing on the western halves of Canada and the United States once focused on the alienation of the peoples of these regions from residents of the eastern regions.
The mythology of a homogenized West fighting for a place in the sun blunted interest in the lives of ordinary people and the social struggles that pitted some groups in the West against others, usually the elite groups that claimed to speak for the whole region on the national stage. This series challenges simplistic definitions of the West and its institutions.

Chan, a mechanical engineering major, is taking two classes that meet at exactly the same time. Despite this apparent scheduling snafu, she hasn’t missed a single lecture in either course — and her approach to juggling the conflicting courses may represent the future of ambitious academic scheduling. Chan is one of 11 students this semester who are participating in i2.002, a new online version of 2.002 (Mechanics and Materials II), a core requirement in mechanical engineering.
The online course features videotaped lectures from 2.002, as well as recitations and a discussion forum that are similar to elements of edX, MIT’s OpenCourseWare, and other massive open online course (MOOC) platforms. NeoK12. The Learning Genome Project. To make personalized learning a reality for EVERY child.
Children are inherently diverse. Each child carries within them a story, a host of unparalleled gifts, talents and interests. Each has something unparalleled to offer the world. This unique child is who education serves. This child is also the source of education's biggest challenge: How to meet the needs of a diverse group of children with a one-size-fits-all solution? Have you ever seen a child struggle through the one-size-fits-all curriculum? Imagine if every child were offered an education that is completely personalized to their needs as a learner. The Learning Genome will empower teachers and parents to become engineers of learning by providing each individual child the exact content they need, at the exact moment they need it. iLearn Technology. I’ve long been a fan of Bloom’s Taxonomy…not necessarily for all the ways it has been pushed into different fads throughout the years, but instead for the way that it helps me (and my students) think about the learning process.
It helps me approach the learning process in a more holistic way, ensuring that I don’t camp out in one way of thinking and evidencing learning for too long. I think it is human nature to get excited about one way of thinking and suddenly everything we do falls into that. iPad Use in Mobile Learning. 10 Ways To Become A Better Online Learner 9.21K Views 0 Likes There are some quick and easy ways to become a better online learner.
Uso de TICs para pensar. Hace unos días estaba leyendo el artículo 5 Tech-Friendly Lessons to Encourage Higher-Order Thinking y me ha parecido interesante compartir aquí mis impresiones, porque pienso que plantea actividades TIC que seguramente todos hemos hecho alguna vez en nuestras aulas de idiomas, son sencillas de acometer y efectivamente, como dice el artículo original, impulsan al alumnado a pensar casi de manera invisible.
