CALL # 3

The writer of the blog "flipped classroom" has only recently wrote about what is a flipped classroom.

This method has more than one possibility of teaching when it comes to the field.

One  way is when the "teacher creates (or uses others) videos which students watch at home.  And then some of the class time is used to help students with what used to be homework". Another way is when "students work through the content at their own pace and don’t move on until the reach mastery of each unit." (http://flipped-learning.com/?p=1073#more-1073). Therefore, the blogger prefers to define it as "flipped learning" and not classroom, and to emphasize the advantages of this model of learning.  
The blogger of "free technology for teachers", attended to the the third day of the Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference in Manchester, New Hampshire. An annual event that honors the legacy of Christa McAuliffe. I googled it up because I had no idea what this is. Apparently, Christa was a teacher that had been chosen as an educator to participate in the NASA Teacher in Space Project but unfortunately was killed in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. This conference has been established in her memory. Every year since 1986, the conference is devoted to the use of technology in all aspects of education. (Wikipedia). When I read about Christa, I think that it's amazing how much one can achieve as an educator.
In edudemic, Adam shared about his new experience of teaching a class set of 30 iPads up and running. He learned about the difficulties and of how is the future of education might look like. I think it's fascinating and hard at the same time.
