Three reasons to flip your classroom
with Laine Marshall, LIU Hudson
Helaine (Laine) directs the Language Teacher Education Programs at LIU - Hudson - Graduate Centers of Long Island University, USA. She collaborates with her colleague, Nancy Lemberger from LIU-Brooklyn on cross-campus online programs in TESOL and Bilingual Education.
|
For this session,, Laine will share her experience flipping her Fundamentals of Linguistics class this spring semester for the first time. There were many surprises in what occurred when she decided to try the flip. She hopes to generate discussion on the rationale for the flipped classroom, what students and courses are best suited for this model and how it has worked out in her class. She hopes to have a student join in to provide the learner perspective.

- Vance wants to know more about Google Calendars. If we could get them talking to one another we'd have an excellent tool for collaborating and syncing our activities. A dozen separate calendars isn't much use, any more than the one on your fridge, but a calendar on your fridge that pulls in data from all the other calendars you follow is just what you want. Where can we get this kind of training? Vance has poked his PLN and come up with http://justcurious.posterous.com/just-curious-if-anything-will-come-from-this
