The flipped classroom - join us for a free webinar

Monday, June 13th, 2011

Scott McLeod of CASTLE is hosting a free webinar on the ‘flipped classroom.’

Despite its now-famous Dan-Pink-sponsored affiliation with our esteemed colleague, Karl Fisch, is the ‘flipped classroom’ a true innovation or just a new label on the old stale wine of lectures? Is it something we should be encouraging or discouraging? If it has benefits, are they worth the accompanying drawbacks? Please join us for a lively, 1-hour online discussion about the ‘flipped classroom.’

WHEN: June 15, 2:00pm to 3:00pm Central Standard Time (Chicago).

WHERE: https://connect.extension.iastate.edu/flippedclassroom [enter as a guest]

WHO: An all-star lineup of educators who have been writing and thinking about this topic lately!

What do I think about the “flipped” classroom? I wrote a bit about it in my series on Khan Academy.

Hope to see you there!

Webinars and Screencasts

Monday, September 7th, 2009

This year we have launched two new multimedia resources for our GenYES and TechYES schools — webinars and screencasts.

The screencasts are short 1-2 minute help videos that quickly show students, teachers and advisors how to use the online tools and curriculum for GenYES and TechYES. The first set of TechYES screencasts went up today, and TechYES schools can see them by logging into their account and looking in the Toolkit. GenYES screencasts will be coming soon.

We’ve also started to do webinars for our member schools - if you are a GenYES or TechYES teacher, advisor, or district coordinator, you should have received an email with the instructions. And if you can’t attend live, no worries - they will be archived on the Generation YES website on the Free Resources page. We plan to do one a week for now, with topics on everything from the online tools, to tips and tricks, and using the curriculum. We’d love to hear your ideas too!

The plans are to add webinars about more general topics, such as student empowerment, project-based learning, and introductions to GenYES and TechYES.

We are happy to say that our webinars are being presented in Elluminate, thanks to the fine people there who accepted us into their Community Partner program. We couldn’t do this without their support!
