Flipped Out by the Flipped Classroom by Jeff Eller on Prezi Teacher Lesson Plans, Printables & Worksheets by Grade or Subject - TeacherVision.com Blog “This is remarkable leadership in action,” Secretary Arne Duncan told the press at the Hollywood FamilySource Center, following a roundtable with community stakeholders of the East Hollywood Promise Neighborhoods project. (Official Department of Education photo) Cross-posted from the OII blog. A small youth and family resource center is tucked away in the corner of a strip mall at the intersection of Western Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard in warm, sunny Los Angeles. It’s in “the other Hollywood,” where instead of calling for the lights, camera, and action of movie making, community leaders are in search of the solutions to poverty, mental health issues, and learned helplessness. On March 19, Secretary Arne Duncan, along with representatives from the U.S. Our day began with an administrative meeting that involved ED, HUD, YPI staff, partner organizations, local residents, and youth.
Center for 21st Century Skills — Redesigning education for the 21st Century through the convergence of art, business, creativity, innovation, engineering, and science. Arranging a room for #flipclass I finally remembered to take some pictures (and a short video + aerial view at the bottom) of my classroom so you could see the layout of how I have it organized. I am VERY happy with the layout this year and the changes I made from last year until now (plus, some awesome new acquisitions in the form of tables and computers helped a bit :)). It's must more efficient but more importantly, conducive to the collaborative, somewhat asynchronous classroom environment I want. It allows the students to do everything they need to do during class time, and there is space for individual, large group, and small group work - or anything else we need to do! (By the way, yes I am lucky to have a large classroom, one of the largest on campus. There are basically four "areas" to my classroom: 1. 2. 3. 4. And, for you visual readers... here's what it looks like all put together: A quiet day during finals week... but you can see the room arrangement :) And, an "aerial" view.

Goodbye, Google Reader. Here are 5 alternatives On Monday, fans of Google's popular Reader application will bid farewell. Google shuts down Reader on July 1, citing a drop in usage and a shift toward a smaller selection of Google services. If you're a Google Reader user, now's the time to export your subscriptions. Since Google announced Reader's demise in March, several other options have emerged to potentially fulfill your RSS needs. Feedly. The Old Reader. Flipboard. AOL Reader. Digg Reader. Readers, have you made the switch from Google Reader? Five Best Practices for the Flipped Classroom Ok, I'll be honest. I get very nervous when I hear education reformists and politicians tout how "incredible" the flipped-classroom model, or how it will "solve" many of the problems of education. It doesn't solve anything. It fosters the "guide on the side" mentality and role, rather than that of the "sage of the stage." It also creates the opportunity for differentiated roles to meet the needs of students through a variety of instructional activities. 1) Need to Know How are you creating a need to know the content that is recorded? 2) Engaging Models One of the best way to create the "need to know" is to use a pedagogical model that demands this. 3) Technology What technology do you have to support the flipped classroom? 4) Reflection Every time you have students watch a video, just like you would with any instructional activity, you must build in reflective activities to have students think about what they learned, how it will help them, its relevance, and more. 5) Time and Place
Login The Couch-to-5K ® Running Plan | C25K Mobile App By Josh ClarkPosted Saturday, 1 January, 2011 Couch to 5K ® | Beginning Running First off, you may be asking, "exactly how many miles is a 5K?" A 5K is 3.1 miles. We're here to help you achieve your goal of beginning to run your first 5K. Too many people have been turned off of running simply by trying to start off too fast. You should ease into your 5K training plan gradually. It's easy to get impatient, and you may feel tempted to skip ahead in the program, but hold yourself back. Start Your 5K Training | A Few Minutes Each Week Each session should take about 20 or 30 minutes, three times a week. Be sure to space out these three days throughout the week to give yourself a chance to rest and recover between efforts. Run for time or run for distance There are two ways to follow this Couch to 5K ® training program, to measure your runs by time or by distance. Before setting out, make sure to precede each training session with a five-minute warmup walk or jog. 5K Training Schedule
