CloudSchool a simple and elegant platform for instruction
I recently discovered CloudSchool, incredibly simple (and free) platform for creating and sharing standards-aligned instruction. The teaching space (LMS) allows you and any teacher partners to deliver full courses or individual lessons. The WYSIWYG interface makes it easy to create and publish media-rich lessons, assignments and homework. CloudSchool can also be a platform for professional development. After signing up, teachers are given a Teaching Space with an address of their choice (like: cloudschool.org/joycevalenza).
School Library Journal discusses the benefits of flipping the classroom.
School libraries need a revolution, not evolution One of the biggest business battles of our time is between Microsoft and Google. The two have very different business models. Microsoft believes that if they build it, we will come—and buy their product. Google’s approach is different: if they build it, we will integrate it into our lives. We use Microsoft products on their terms, but we use Google products—from iGoogle to GoogleDocs—on our terms, to construct whatever we want.
Flipping The Classroom Simply Explained
Flipped learning is much more than just watching videos as homework or about teachers creating videos as homework for students, it is rather a learning process that engages students through real and authentic action. The purpose is to maximize learning through capitalizing on the classroom instruction time. Students watch lectures at home at their own pace and communicate with peers and teachers via online discussions, and in class they get to work on their homework and be conceptually engaged in their learning. For those students who might not have technology or parents to help them outside school now have teachers guiding them in class.

This research is a critical review of the flipped classroom
Flipped classroom approach has become a popular pedagogy in many education institutes around the world.

Research on flipping the classroom in higher education
Teaching at the university level has been performed in a relatively similar manner during a long historical time and across cultures. As a central pillar, we find the traditional lecture with the professor, or the “sage on the stage” as put by King (1993), transmitting knowledge to receiving students. Nevertheless, over the past 30 years, university education and traditional lectures in particular have been strongly criticized. The main criticism has cast light on the following: students are passive in traditional lectures due to the lack of mechanisms that ensure intellectual engagement with the material, student’s attention wanes quickly, the pace of the lectures is not adapted to all learners needs and traditional lectures are not suited for teaching higher order skills such such as application and analysis (Cashin, 1985; Bonwell, 1996; Huxham, 2005; Young, Robinson, & Alberts, 2009).
