Yes, I was up at 4:00 a.m participating in this week's 2011 Global Education Conference.
Am I sleepy? You bet, but I am well fed with knowledge I can walk in the door TODAY and practice with my students.
I attended several sessions yesterday and a few this morning. However I listened to the recording of keynote speaker Alan November. Very thought provoking and he turned me onto a video where a presenter and college professor (will input his name later - too early in the mornining) discussed "PEER INSTRUCTION" & The Flipped Classroom Model".
These two concepts together would have our students taking ownership of their learning and retaining the information for deeper learning. I am going to share these
I will add more to this post later, but I must shower and take my sleepy self to work and enjoy facilitating learning today. You noticed I didin't say teach. I must not have been as sleepy as I thought. I LEARNED SOMETHING. Lol!
