Turning the Classroom Upside Down - WSJ.com
Just imagine for a minute a reversed way of thinking about core class instruction, where homework is done at school and instruction is done at home at the student's own pace and in short intervals using video! This article is one I simply must share. A very dear friend who is a 21st century administrator shared in on my PLN (Personal Learning Network) and I was very intrigued. I hope you are as well. Take a few minutes to read this article and give it some thought... would it be possible to teach using these strategies? How would it impact our current educational system? How can YOU make this change in the near future? Would it be in the best interest of your students? Think about it....
