Flipping the Classroom

ED 307 students are learning how to "flip" their future classrooms. Students submitted their findings through self-created animated videos. Overall the content was AMAZING! These students really know their stuff!

I am featuring a few videos below - these stood out not because they are "perfect" - but because they were very engaging, due to the creative slant taken. Enjoy!

If an educational act is to be efficacious, it will be only that one which tends to help toward the complete unfolding of life. To be thus helpful it is necessary rigorously to avoid the arrest of spontaneous movements and the imposition of arbitrary tasks.

Digital Citizenship Websites

This week ED 505 students got started with summer semester coursework, diving right in by collaborating with peers to design and build a Website about Digital Citizenship. Students worked hard to meet deadlines - and create well-designed and informative sites.

Enjoy viewing the following sites - some may be missing a few of the project requirements, but overall are very good submissions.
