I am a HUGE advocate of Flipped Learning (which is part of the Blended Learning Model). Don't believe me... see my blogs here, here and here just to mention three of my many posts on the topic!
Why am I such a nut about this? Well, back in the late 90's, when I was teaching middle school science - before Blended and Flipped Learning was a "thing" - I was creating "help" videos that I would post on my website and have my students watch them prior to coming to class. In the early 2000's I fell in love with Macromedia's Breeze eLearning suite and started using that. It was sometime around 2008/09 that I came across blog posts by Jon Bergman and Aaron Sams, whom I consider two of the "Fathers of Flipped Learning" and the rest is, as they say... History!
But, just as in everything else in education, Flipped Learning is changing and evolving constantly. As a result, I have to keep tabs on the latest ideas and case studies coming from dozens of different Ed-Tech blogs and tweets. Imagine my exuberant happiness when my wife forwarded me a link to the Flipped Learning Global Initiative.
This site, founded by a team of individuals that includes "Papa" Jon Bergman (well, what do you call one of the "fathers" of Flipped Leaning?? :-) is taking the dialogue and implementation of Flipped Learning even higher. As a matter of fact, their most recent blog post (at the time that I am writing this) "We Didn't Know What We Didn't Know: Flipped Learning 3.0" is a MUST READ for anyone who is seriously working with, or is considering working with, Flipped Learning.
So, rather me wasting your time with rehashing the information from this blog series, get yourself over to the GFLI blogsite and subscribe! It will be well worth your time!
As always, I solicit your comments on my blogsite.
