The Flipped Classroom Model: A Full Picture Due to Khan Academy’s popularity, the idea of the flipped classroom has gained press and credibility within education circles. Briefly, the Flipped Classroom as described by Jonathan Martin is: Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious class-time for what previously, often, was done in homework: tackling difficult problems, working in groups, researching, collaborating, crafting and creating. Classrooms become laboratories or studios, and yet content delivery is preserved.

Khan Academy What Ed Said #BYOTchat | A web site for the #BYOTchat twitter chat Presentation Zen DT > Digital Textbooks iPad Curriculum So...You Wanna Design Your Own Apps I have published lots of posts on my favorite iPad resources, my favorite apps for administrators, and posted countless Tweets and had a number of conversations about apps for learning, producing and consuming. But what about if you want to take the next step? You want (or better yet your kids) to create apps. Before I go the easy route, there are some standard (fairly nerdy) ways to create apps. Now, I am lacking on my computer programming skills so I turn to those that have streamlined the process. AppMakr-This is one of those "plug and chug" app makers. iBuildApp-Another one of the easy app builders, there are lots of features to choose from. Shoutem-Similar to the others, this has a few less features but when it comes time to publishing, you do save a little bit of money. Android App Inventor-Created by Google, this is now a project for MIT that aims at helping anyone who wants to create an app do it for free.
