2012-2013 Pedagogical Quickies RECIT Provincial Service for General Adult Education www.youtube.com/lalandema August 2013 Four new videos will have been published in 2012-2013 in the Pedagogical Quickies series, with part 2 of the Flipping the Classroom series being a double-feature of sorts. Since the last video of 2011-2012 was published in June (as will the last video of 2012-2013), the views hadn’t been reported on last year. BYOD in the 21st Century, 8:00 www.tinyurl.com/byod21stcentury Wondering what BYOD means or if your school is ready for it? In this 8-minute Pedagogical Quickie, I present some of the many advantages and limitations of this concept for education.

As we worked on this, we came up with an idea we hope you'll find worth exploring: targeted learning should fall in the ZPD, but the learning activity shouldn't. This activity should mobilize knowledge, skills or competencies from a higher level of Bloom's taxonomy, when possible.

In this sequel to Flipping Out... and In!, I present some of the things one should try when considering a flip and some advice for those who wish to create their own videos in that context. The first video serves as an introduction to the concept, while part 2 delves deeper into some of the benefits/limitations and tries to dispel a couple of myths. Part 1 published on November 29, 2013 – 564 views as of 2013-08-22 Part 2 published on February 28, 2013 – 386 views as of 2013-08-22 Failing Superman In this video, the one-size-fits-all curriculum in which our schools have been “evolving” is questioned and we look at how technology and gamification could help turn things around. To be published, mid-September 2013.
