Teaching naked techniques : a practical guide to designing better classes / by Bowen, José Antonio.; Watson, C. Edward,author.;
"Technology provides new ways for students to receive first contact with material, enhanced opportunities to connect and create community, better ways to ensure that students are prepared for class, and new options for the sequence of learning encounters and activities. Teaching Naked is really about rethinking the how, where, when, and what of technology. José Bowen's Teaching Naked Cycle provides higher education professionals with a practical, student-centered way to increase opportunities for interactivity. Teaching Naked Techniques helps higher education faculty create more effective and engaging lessons--or groups of lessons--on a wide range of topics. Based on Bowen's Teaching Naked Cycle, the book focuses on each step of class preparation from the student's perspective. There is a chapter on each step in the cycle with an abundance of discipline-specific examples (10-20 for each concept) plus additional resources. The book helps faculty take the first step in adopting this new pedagogy; by the final chapter, readers will learn how to implement larger (e.g. entire course) redesign projects."--"Provides field-tested, helpful materials to improve course design, make better use of technology, maximize in-class time, and boost student engagement"--Includes bibliographical references and index.Transparency and clearer targets -- Finding online content for first exposure -- Creating your own digital content -- Instructions and entry point -- Online exams to improve student preparation for class -- Preclass assignments -- Massively better classrooms and the classroom surprise -- Critical thinking, metacognition, and cognitive wrappers -- Grading and feedback -- E-communication -- Integrated courses and sequence -- Integrative learning and integrated experiences -- Being a superhero: pedagogy as human relationships.

Flipping the college classroom : practical advice from faculty / by Honeycutt, Barbi,editor,compiler.;
Includes bibliographical references.Organizing and planning learning experiences in the flipped classroom -- Supporting students : preparation, motivation and resistance in the flipped classroom -- Connecting with and reaching all students -- Assessing learning in the flipped classroom -- Integrating technology into the flipped classroom -- Appendix : Flipped classroom trends : a survey of college faculty.Flipped instruction definitely has turned higher education on its head. The lectures that used to be the foundation of teaching have been pushed out of the classroom. In their place are activities designed to put the information from those lectures to work. What is driving this transformative shift is its promise. When done well, flipped instruction helps students process material in new ways. They do more than memorize and recall. They begin to understand, evaluate, and even create new knowledge. In other words, flipped instruction is catching on because it works. The challenge, of course, is getting it to work. Students have to be motivated to prepare for class and engaged when they arrive. Faculty members and instructors who no longer spend class time delivering information have to develop methods to facilitate learning. It is a vastly different learning environment for students and instructors alike. Fortunately, you do not have to figure it all out on your own. Some instructors have been employing and refining flipped instruction for some time now. They have determined what works and what doesn't. Their best ideas are collected in a single resource -- Flipping the College Classroom: Practical Advice from Faculty. This collection is a comprehensive guide to flipping no matter how much or how little experience you have with it. If you are just getting started, you will learn where and how to begin. If you have been at it for a while, you will find new ideas to try and solutions to common challenges. This book is an invaluable resource that covers all necessary territory. Each chapter in this collection concludes with questions for reflection and discussion along with activities for applying what you have learned. Additional supplemental materials include lesson plan templates, grading rubrics, and sample assignments. Flipping the College Classroom: Practical Advice from Faculty is designed to be the definitive resource on flipped instruction. No matter how experienced or comfortable you are with flipping, this resource will help you accomplish more in your active learning classroom. - Publisher.

Education nation : six leading edges of innovation in our schools / by Chen, Milton.;
"In Education Nation author Milton Chen draws from extensive experience in media--from his work on Sesame Street in its nascent years to his current role as executive director of the George Lucas Educational Foundation--to support his vision for a new world of learning. Presented in five parts and divided into "module" chapters, this book examines the ways in which K-12 learning can be revolutionized through innovative reform and the use of technology. Due in large part to new technologies, over the last few decades we've witnessed a huge shift in how we imagine teaching and learning. A good example is the educational revolution sparked by Sesame Street--which in its first season had a goal of teaching preschool-age children the numbers 1 to 10. At the time, experts dismissed it as an unrealistic goal since many kindergarten students were having trouble mastering this simple counting. Yet the research proved that preschool-age children learned those skills and many others directly from the TV screen. Now Sesame Street's curriculum teaches the numbers from 1 to 40. In today's digital age the number of new ways to teach and learn is ever-expanding and includes: television, Google, YouTube, TeacherTube, Facebook, iPhones, video games, GPS devices, open source textbooks, interactive whiteboards; and there are countless examples of ways technology positively impacts student learning--from voice-recognition software that helps children learn to read to translation tools that help teachers communicate with non-English speaking parents. As a result of constant innovation, learning is no longer limited by traditional confines and we're quickly moving beyond students tied to their chairs, desks, and textbooks--and teachers locked away in classrooms."--Includes bibliographical references and index.
