Last week (December 11), the PBS NewsHour aired a segment on education focusing on Clintondale H.S. (near Detroit) which has 'flipped' the entire school. This is part of the NewsHour's American Graduate project. I thought it was pretty interesting and it provoked a lot of questions. You can watch the video of the broadcast segment on the NewsHour site.. There's also a segment on how the featured math teacher created her lessons (the video segment is on YouTube so watch at home). And there's another, related, blog article with video on how a social studies teacher flipped the classroom (and differentiated instruction).
Also this week on PBS, the PBS classroom-resource hub for teachers, LearningMedia, announced its 2014 PBS LearningMedia Digital Innovators Program. The program recognizes K-12 educators who are incorporating digital media in their classrooms throughout the United States. The top 100 applicants win a year's worth of professional development opportunities on teaching in a digital classroom, including virtual trainings, invitations to events, and networking opportunities. The top 15 applicants receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C., for a two-day summit on technology in the classroom.
