Custom Pet Portrait Dog Painting Small Art Oil by SorchaMoon The Next Big Thing While Facebook prepares to go public, Apple Pings into the void, LinkedIn focuses on resumes & recruiters, Myspace circles the drain, Twitter becomes more complex, Pinterest distracts, Google+ goes around in circles, and Instagram loses focus, the next big Interests & Passions network is being built... under the radar. Amazon, with their public/private highlights/notes from Kindle readers is creating a knowledge & interests ecosystem that will aggregate what the world is interested in, and what the world finds important... and what the world wants to buy more of. And, of course, they are making it social, by connecting to many of those they will eventually replace (mentioned above). It is not just the also-bought data that matters (which books bought by same customer), it is what we specifically find interesting and useful in those books that reveals deep similarities between people -- the hi-lites, bookmarks and the notes will be the connectors.

The Flipped Classroom: Answering Obama’s Call For Creativity In Education As a sophomore and junior at Clintondale High School in suburban Detroit, Dominique Moody was barely squeaking by, getting Ds in geometry and algebra. He was not alone: two years ago, the average failure rate was 61% at the financially disadvantaged school, where three quarters of its 570 students qualify for free lunches. But last fall, everything changed. The school inversed its teaching model, assigning students short, instructional videos to watch before class and then, at school, helping them practice problems that ordinarily would have been assigned as homework. Dominique’s math teacher, Richard Filbey, captured his short, step-by-step advanced algebra lectures on videos for students to watch at their own pace on computers, mobile phones, or tablets. The “flipped classroom” at Clintondale might just be a way to implement President Obama’s call in his recent State of the Union Address to “grant schools flexibility to teach with creativity and passion; to stop teaching to the test.”

Uni of Norther Col Helping Flip UNC's Mathematics and Science Teaching Institute is at the forefront of a growing trend in secondary education that's changing how many middle and high school students are learning. Three years ago, Jerry Overmyer, MAST's outreach coordinator, did a simple Google search for the latest ideas in education and technology. You could say the rest of the story is history, but actually it's a new teaching model that literally flips the standard classroom setting and may be the way of the future. Using the "flipped classroom" model, teachers create and post vodcasts - online video lectures - that students watch outside of class, and then questions are answered and homework is completed in class. Since much of MAST's work involves providing teaching resources for K-12 educators, the concept of flipped classrooms advocated since 2007 by two science teachers at Woodland Park (Colo.) "It's a very dynamic definition and can mean so many things," Overmyer said. - Elizabeth Same, Junior Journalism Major

Facebook : 23% des recettes publicitaires se font sur mobile Environ un quart du chiffre d'affaires publicitaire de Facebook (23%) provient désormais des mobiles. Une tendance que l'américain s'est employé à confirmer en 2012, moyennant de lourds investissements. L'objectif est de monétiser son audience mobile, forte de 680 millions de membres en décembre dernier. Le réseau social Facebook serait-il en train de réussir son pari sur mobile ? Au quatrième trimestre fiscal 2012, la société a réalisé un chiffre d'affaires de 1,6 milliard de dollars, en croissance annuelle de 40%. Entre octobre et décembre, le mobile a donc rapporté à Facebook près de 300 millions de dollars, le double du précédent trimestre. Mark Zuckerberg, le p-dg, a affirmé que désormais « c'est incontestable, Facebook est une entreprise mobile ». Les investissements sur mobile ont pénalisé les profits Mais le virage de la mobilité n'est pas encore totalement amorti par le groupe américain, auteur d'investissements importants en la matière : 1,6 milliard de dollars.

Flipped classrooms give every student a chance to succeed by Greg Green, Special to CNN Editor’s note: Greg Green is the principal at Clintondale High School in Clinton Township, Michigan. I’m a principal at Clintondale High, a financially challenged school near Detroit. I’m in charge of doing my best to make sure that Clintondale students get the best education possible when they walk through our doors. There are constant hurdles to making this happen. We are a school of choice, so not all students come in with the same skill levels in reading, math, science or other subjects. Every year, our failure rates have been through the roof. It’s no surprise that these issues are happening in our schools. To watch this happen every day, where it is your responsibility to try to provide the very best you can for the students, is beyond frustrating. Our staff agreed that our failure rates were not good. How do you get your staff on board with change you want to implement, but no one else has ever tried it on a mass scale? You flip it.

rejecting the "flip" (1) ending required sameness (3) re-thinking rigor (4) its not about 1:1 (5) start to dream again (6) learning to be a society (again) (7) re-thinking what "literature" means (8) maths are creative, maths are not arithmetic (9) changing rooms (10) undoing academic time (11) social networks beyond Zuckerbergism (12) knowing less about students, seeing more (13) why we fight Maybe I'm highly sensitive to this. I grew up in a 420 square foot home with two parents and four kids. This was not a place for the calm production of homework. Anyway, this is not to be confused with an Oprah-style faux memoir, that's not the point. In later years, as a cop in Brooklyn and The Bronx, as the computer co-ordinator for a homeless mission with before and after school programs for homeless kids, and in work in high poverty schools, I know what kids in poverty face at home. So in changing gears for this new year, step two is "rejecting the flipped classroom." Kralovec and Buell So please, reject the flip.

Five Ways to Flip Your Classroom With The New York Times Jim Wilson/The New York TimesSalman Khan in the offices of his company, Khan Academy, in Mountain View, Calif. His math lessons are popular on YouTube.Go to related article » What is a “flipped classroom”? It’s an “inverted” teaching structure in which instructional content is delivered outside class, and engagement with the content – skill development and practice, projects and the like – is done in class, under teacher guidance and in collaboration with peers. A flipped class swaps explanation and lecture, which are usually given in the classroom, with homework activities like math problem sets or writing practice activities. Usually, teachers flipping their classrooms convey content using technology tools like videos, podcasts or PowerPoint presentations, which students explore on their own time. Sometimes teachers create lectures and other resources themselves using resources like Teacher Tube, the Show Me app or a voice recording tool. ‘Flip’ a Learning Network Lesson
