"Technology brings additional information on learning styles and helps assess rapidly what has been retained, allowing lectures to be adapted to students’ needs and to be made more meaningful. Classes can combine Internet connections, Skyped conversation, video-teleconference and satellite hookups with videos and segments of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) produced around the world. Students can benefit from international online discussion groups. All of this enriches the learning experience and represents considerable up-front investment with intensive labour commitments from faculty and technical support." Via EDTC@UTB Delete the scoop?

Love the idea of MOOCS for our students. I see it happening to a smaller degree on social networks, but I am sure peer groups teaching others in online learning are the way to go. Now 3D printers I have not used...yet!

During your lifetime you have probably experienced inspirational educators, or witnessed inspiring lectures. But, what about you? Are you such an educator? If not, why not? In this talk, I [Zaid Alsagoff] explored some of the ingredients top educators in the 21st century have, and how we can learn from them to reinvent ourselves to reach our true potential as an educator. This talk was given on the 9 February (2013) at Jazan University (Saudi Arabia). Via Anne Whaits

Get 6 Real World Examples of a Flipped Classroom from Subject Experts. The Flipped Classroom model is changing the ways students learn and teachers teach. When you flip your classroom, you offer your students rich, engaging material to consider at home, and you use class time to help them interact with the ideas. Lecturing during class time is minimized and students have a teacher nearby when they are doing work and most likely to need guidance. Via Dennis T OConnor

How has your instruction changed with tablet technology in the classroom?
I remember when I was going to primary school, I had to bring many heavy textbooks with me. Imagine how good it is to replace all those 10kg books with a light and small Ipad.
