After School Enrichment Curriculum and Ideas
Flipping the Classroom
-By Mike DeBritz on Wednesday, April 04, 2012
Have you heard this term being flung about lately?
At first it may sound risky, maybe exciting or just downright dangerous …someone could get hurt with this kind of venture, whatever it means! 
In all seriousness, the term describes a new educational model that’s taking shape due to the advances in internet video and the improved capacity of educational networks.
In general, the flipped classroom means that students use traditional homework time to watch video lessons and teachers reserve class time for interacting and guiding students where they encounter difficulties. With less time spent on preparing and delivering lectures, teachers are freed up for one-on-one tutoring that helps everyone in the class succeed.
This is particularly of interest in math classrooms where students often become frustrated and disillusioned early in their academic careers. The practice could lead to sweeping changes in our current instructional model and fulfillment on the promises of leaving no child behind.
In the spirit of digital learning, maybe you'd prefer to watch a video from Sal Kahn on how it all works.By the way, this model looks particularly attractive to after school centers offering tutoring.

Taking Tutoring to the Next Level
-By Mike DeBritz on Wednesday, January 04, 2012
This is an very interesting project that could be a huge benefit to after school coordinators offering math tutoring.
It's free, data driven and has been very successful helping kids around the world.
Take a look at this video for a concise overview...watch till the end and see a special appearance from Bill Gates.
