Flipping the Classroom

I've been working on a project that will become a presentation I am giving at the MTSU curriculum meeting this coming February. The video presentation will be based on the research I am doing on creativity in the classroom and transversal learning. (Thanks, Bryan Reynolds.)



I was inspired today by this amazing video presentation by Gabe Zincherman : How Games Make Kids Smarter. I've been talking with my students who are also avid gamers and what I have found is that learning preferences of gamers tend to be the same as non-gamers. It's the way in which young people think that we are disconnected from. Education expectations have changed - and are changing - very quickly. This video explains that quite well.
