The Meet Education Project

Last month, I had the opportunity to engage in a great conversation with Nick DiNardo on a recent episode of his Meet Education Project podcast.  We discussed many topics including gamification, Flipped Learning, mastery-based instruction and the future of education.

For those interested in our conversation, the podcast is embedded below, posted on Nick's website, and available on  iTunes.  I strongly recommend adding Nick's show to your podcast lineup.  He has had awesome guests in the past and has many more queued up for 2014!  I hope you enjoy the episode, and as always, if you have any comments or questions do not hesitate to comment below or contact me directly to discuss. 

Flipped History Hangout 12-19-13

It's been a while since I've had the opportunity to hangout with the Flipped History rockstars in my PLN, but last night we all got together for another great conversation via Google Hangouts.

Our crew consisted of myself, Karl Lindgren-Streicher, Jason Bretzmann, David Fouch, Kaelyn Bullock, George Phillip, and Kenny Bosch. 

Some of the topics discussed included: new strategies, leveraging emerging edtech, upcoming conferences (ex. FlipCon14) and our closing segment - holiday beverages of choice.

Four Unique Perspectives on Flipping History

A few months ago, I asked four rockstar educators in my PLN to share their journey's and unique perspectives on flipping their history courses.  These videos were generosity contributed as part of the free Flipped Social Studies eSeminar (archive and resources still available here.)

I have recently been asked on several occasions how other educators besides myself have incorporated aspects of Flipped Learning into their social studies courses.  Well, what better way to learn than to hear directly from these innovative teachers themselves.  Enjoy the videos and do not hesitate to connect and add these guys to your PLN, they have all helped and inspired me tremendously throughout my own journey.
