Flipping the Flipped Classroom

I recently saw a couple of presentations on flipping the classroom and have always been an advocate anyway.  Students really need help in the classroom and getting the instruction for homework and having the teacher available to do the "problems" can certainly assist with student improvement.

I am including here a link to an article about a teacher that flipped the classroom, then took the concept further.  She went with an inquiry-based, student-centered classroom.  So flipping became almost obsolete.  Very interesting. Let me know what you think.

Media Literacy and Research Skills

As a media specialist, I am often asked about teaching media literacy to students.  How can a student learn to discern a proper and legitimate source when researching a topic for a classroom project or "research paper"?  Students are now going to the Internet instead of the library...or going to the Internet through the library computers at school.  I want to share a link here to an online news magazine which introduces the new Google research feature for students.  Enjoy...
