Thank you to everyone that attended the first session of our Academic Technology Innovators learning community talk on the Flipped Classroom. The session sparked some great questions and discussions and you can view the PDF of the full presentation here – What is a flipped classroom. In the meantime, please find the list of resources mentioned by Dr. Morvant listed below.

• Best iPad app to purchase ($2.99) to flip your classroom is Explain Everything. Explain Everything is an “easy-to-use design, screencasting, and interactive whiteboard tool that lets you annotate, animate, narrate, import, and export almost anything to and from almost anywhere.” For more information on using this app, please reach out to the Center for Teaching Excellence.
• “Lightning Talks” are a handful of 5-10 minute presentations that will be followed by discussion here at OU. They are open to all OU faculty and will be held once a month. For more information, click here.
