The 6-step guide to flipping your classroom - Daily Genius

The 6-step guide to flipping your classroom - Daily Genius | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
It’s one of the most talked-about trends in education right now. Right behind the iPad and Common Core. Flipping your classroom is a trend that doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon. That’s great, because it offers a lot of advantages for your classroom regardless of your students’ age or what subject matter
Beth Dichter's insight:

This infographic/visualization provides six steps that show how to flip a classroom. It also makes it clear that after you work through the six steps you must also review what has taken place, revise as necessary and then repeat.

The six steps are:

1. Plan

2. Record

3. Share

4. Change

5. Group

6. Regroup

But to understand what they mean by each of these you should go to the post. Flipping the classroom takes time, but today there are many locations where you can find great videos that will work for you. There are numerous tools available that help you create videos on your own, or take an existing video and add comments, questions, etc., so that it will meet your needs. If you are considering using video as a way to flip your class in the upcoming school year this post also provides links to additional resources that you may find helpful.

App Task Challenges for Teachers

App Task Challenges for Teachers | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

Craig Badura, a PK-12 Integration Specialist in Aurora, Nebraska, has
developed a series of App Task Challenges. Each Challenge is a an easy to follow guide that gives teachers the opportunity to create products with an app.

Beth Dichter's insight:

If you have iPads in your school and teachers need help with apps check out these "App Task Challenges" created by Craig Badura. Currently four are available and you may download them here. Learn about these apps for the iPad: Camera, Popplet and Skitch plus there is an App Smash Challenge you might undertaken. In addition Darin Spenser was inspired by Badura's work and has created on on Stick Around. These handouts could also be modified to use with students. All are available on this website.

Which Creative Commons License is Right for me?

Which Creative Commons License is Right for me? | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
The poster explains the rules associated with the various types of Creative Commons license visually and helps you pick the right license for sharing your work.
Beth Dichter's insight:

Teaching students about Creative Common licenses helps them to understand issues of plagiarism. What if we have students create an image, or publish a piece of their writing and also have them pick the correct license. We help students become creators and we teach them a new skill. The poster relies on visuals to help students understand the various types of licenses available. Consider posting a copy of this in your classroom.

* A brief explanation
