The TED-Ed website allows you to engage in or create dynamic lessons around the hundreds of thousands of educational videos on YouTube. In this video, the familiar illustration assembled at the beginning of each TED-Ed video finds his [computer generated] voice and gives viewers a tour of ed.ted.com. The features explored include the ability to add multiple choice questions, open answer questions, "dig deeper" materials, and custom discussion topics to any video on YouTube.

What Is a "Hangout?"
Dennis T OConnor's insight:
I've been using Hangouts for sometime. I like the technology, but question the ROI of using it in asynchronous online course. My students just can't manage to get to one place at the same time. They are used to timing their learning to their own clocks. I do find the real time connections powerful. My teachers's sense tells me it comforts and motivates my students to connect in real time (those that show up at least). I've used Skype, but they don't offer a free video conference room for 9 people like Hangouts. I also like that I can record my hangouts live and my archive will be saved to my Youtube account. I've even used this feature as a way to create web video. These tools are free, powerful, and fun to use.

A description of what the flipped classroom is like.
This is one teacher's take on how to use the Flipped Classroom model. I like the practical, from the trenches pov of this video.
This is not a new idea, but Flipping the lecture out of the classroom and into a video appeals greatly to me.
Too much time spent on lecture bores most students. Again, not a earth shattering revelation, we've know that Lecture only works for those who've learned the "good student tricks". Most students need to do things, not just listen to how you do things.
If you want to get away from the front of the classroom (sage on the stage) and start coaching and teaching as the kids word directly on your content, open your mind to the Flipped Classroom. ~ Dennis Via k3hamilton Delete the scoop?
