Explore-Flip-Apply: Using Instructional Video to Empower the Learning Cycle

Ramsey Musallam ..........................................................Balboa Bay 1

Will California’s Next Teaching Credential include Online Teaching?

Over the past few years, the term “flipped classroom� has emerged as a popular approach to harnessing video instruction, specifically screencasting, as a tool to empower teachers and provide more class time for meaningful learning. Despite the benefits of this approach, the flipped classroom is often misunderstood and advertised as an instructional pedagogy, rather than a technique to be used in the context of pedagogy. This talk will attempt to redefine the term, and present the use of instructional video in the context of an inquiry learning cycle. Implementation strategies, pedagogical specifics, multiplatform production options and a theoretical framework will be offered as well

Great eLearning vs. Online Road Kill: How Can You Tell the Difference?

New Directions: Online Learning and the University of California’s A-G Subject Area Requirements

What should you expect from a great online course? How do you know if it’s any good, if your students will be highly engaged, if activities provide multiple learning paths, if the course is accessible to all students or if teaching and learning goes beyond knowledge and comprehension? We’ll review iNACOL’s standards for quality online courses, explain how to take a course for a test drive, share how to select engaging courses and speak to course features you should be expecting from publishers.

The University of California aims to ensure that students have enhanced access to a broad range of high-quality courses – including online courses – that meet the faculty’s standards of rigor for the purposes of UC admissions eligibility. This session focuses on the University’s revised online policy, which offers an improved, streamlined approval process of online courses that satisfy UC “a-g� subject requirements. Partnering with the California Learning Resource Network, UC is moving forward with the new policy to encourage online course developers and programs to adhere to the promising practices that support student success.

When the Inside Becomes the Outside: The Old Book as the New Backpack Hall Davidson

For generations, students lived with textbooks with “print DNA�: linear, undifferentiated, and nondynamic. Now new ‘techbooks’ arrive with cloud-based media DNA: fluid, differentiated, embedded and rich as the web. Moving classroom practice more deeply into digital resources provides benefits for differentiation, extended learning, remediation, and accountability. The digital “book� moves far beyond text—it reads to students, shows them animations to augment print definitions, changes languages, fontsize, grade level, and more. But going digital not only taps the cloud, it changes the whole game. The book becomes its own backpack with encyclopedias, microscopes, cameras, and more. Watch how the magic of tablets (like the iPad and others) brings a deep and immediate connection to learning. )BMM %BWJETPO %JSFDUPS (MPCBM -FBSOJOH *OJUJBUJWFT %JTDPWFSZ &EVDBUJPO IBMM@EBWJETPO!EJTDPWFSZ DPN

He is a frequent contributor to national education publications, co-authored TechWorks, an internationally distributed classroom technology kit, and cofounded Kitzu.org, a resource of free online kits to encourage project-based learning with media. He was elected to the board of ComputerUsing Educators where he served for six years.

She will offer guidance and recommendations for priority actions to accelerate the transformation of the nation’s K-12 educational system to one that is competency-based, highlighting lessons learned and best practices from innovators in the field. The goal is to build understanding of current innovations and competency-based, new learning models, provide a brief overview of the knowledge base of policy and practice, describe the five-part working definition of competency-based learning, and share strategies across and among innovators and policy leaders. Recommendations include how states can begin to transform policies from “rigid compliance� to “enabling policies� by offering seat-time waivers or “credit flex� policies that allow for the flexibility to offer competencybased learning in K-12. The policy development is multi-stage -- building towards a comprehensive policy redesign that would require school districts to offer competency-based credits; provide proper training and information systems; establish quality-control; support individual growth models for accountability; and align higher education with K-12 competency-based efforts while expanding access to educational opportunities for all students, regardless of zip code. National and international innovations in education will be highlighted in this keynote focused on how to provide a world-class education for each and every student.
