Hybrid teaching and Flipped Classrooms
http://www.nationmultimedia.com/opinion/Hybrid-teaching-and-Flipped-Classrooms-30194585.html
This article talks about an interesting concept that challenges teachers to rethink their idea of teaching and student learning. Traditional classrooms are all about students attending a class to study about a subject which is possibly taught through lecture or a presentation and then they are given an assignment to take home. In the flipped classroom students are given access to the material or subject that they will be discussing in the classroom through shared media. Through self-directed learning they will have to read up about the subject and try to understand it as much as they can before they come to class. In class they will no longer be listening to teachers' lectures, instead they will be doing hands-on projects and assignments. Teachers are no longer lecturers but rather facilitators, they are ready to answer questions and help with challenges students face concerning subject matter. An interesting concept that might work.

Do we need a revolution in higher education?
By William
J. Bennett, CNN Contributor
The article discusses the
disparity between the earnings after a college graduate receives
their degree in comparison to the investment they put in towards
their college education. This provoking thought is the foundation
for the idea of revolutionizing higher education. Professors from
several ivy league universities are attempting to educate students
through online technology and even better, for free. The examples
given are initiatives such as Ed-X and Coursera which have started
with their mission to educate just as the Khan Academy has done for
elementary and secondary students. There is hope that education will
become accessible to all those who seek it and not just the few that
can afford to take loans or pay exorbitant amounts of money to get a college
education.

ASSIGNMENT 2
Media
Companies, Seeing Profit Slip, Push Into Education
This news article focuses
on how media companies are moving towards the education sector
through digital distribution of their services and products. A few
major media companies include Discovery, Walt Disney and NBCUniversal
who are entering the realms of schools which was previously dominated
by publishing houses. Most teachers also agree that although they
are used to the traditional methods of teaching, technology helps
student motivation and makes learning more individualized to the pace
of every learner. Another important aspect is the lower cost per
child in acquiring materials to enhance their learning experience.
However, leading publishing houses are also aware of this shift and
have partnered up with apple's ibook which is their digital version
of doing what they do best, just electronically.

ASSIGNMENT

News
Card
The
article explains that technology is here to stay and most parents and
educators are in awe of this new development that sometimes causes
fear and reluctance. If technology is used under the supervision or
support from parents and educators it can actually become an amazing
tool for learning which can enhance learning experiences. The writer
has given eight tips to using technology with your children and
students that can help them become more tactile and engaged with open
ended questions and activities that can be followed up by parents and
teachers. It can be a source of repetition for children who are not
so confident with certain skills. Technology can also encourage
creation, problem solving and most importantly light the spark of
curiousity in children for asking questions and discovering answers.
Most importantly it is fun and children should play around with it to
explore and discover the world around them.
