Welcome back to the Roundup! I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving week ahead of them! Today we begin at Getting Smart with a new post from Charles Reigeluth entitled, "Education 3.0: Helping All Children Reach their Potential." In the post, Reigeluth covers a brief history of our evolving models of education and discusses how the current education paradigm is beginning to look (or at least what it should look like).
Next up, Kelly Walsh at Emerging EdTech has a new article in which he shares some excellent video resources for helping teachers become familiar with iPads in the classroom. The post,"More Great VIdeo Sessions from the Teaching & Learning with the iPad Conference" shows off some great learning resources for teachers with iPads.
Here are a few of the great posts from FT4T for this week:
Jamie Forshey at EduTech for Teachers has a new post, "At-A-Glance Ed-Tech Tutorials" in which she shares some wonderful new Ed-Tech tutorial/posters from Gwyneth Jones (The Daring Librarian). Jones is building a growing library of outstanding resources that are designed to easily help educators familiarize themselves with educational technology. The collection is definitely worth a look!
For those teachers who are new to the EdTech arena, you might have seen the term "Flipped Classroom" being thrown around a lot. If you want to learn more about the practice, and what it looks like in the classroom, Katie Lepi at Edudemic has a wonderful new post, "What is a Flipped Classroom?" to introduce you to the basics.
Educational Technology has some great posts from the week:
Lisa Nielsen at The Innovative Educator has a new post entitled, "How Social Reading Enhances the #CCSS" in which she discusses how the excellent online discussion platform ReadUps can be used in support of the Common Core Standards. Nielsen offers some great tips and ideas for utilizing the service within the classroom.
Here are a few of TeachThought's posts from the week:
Education and politics don't always get along. However, as Drew Minock writes about in his new post, "The White House Got it Right!" occasionally things work out well between the two. Minock discusses the White House's recent selection of 10 educators who were awarded the distinction of being "ConnectED Champions of Change." I've included the video of President Obama's speech below.
Here are a few of EdReach's podcasts from the week:
Finally, Teachscape (education software and service designers) has announced a new social media contest. The company is asking educators to discuss how they use videos for professional development. The winner(s) will receive one Teachscape Peri Panoramic Camera Kit & one software license for Teachscape Learn. If you're interested, you can find all the details here.
