Still off recovering from my illness, but looking forward to returning in the spring. On topic I would like to discuss with colleagues is the idea of the “Flipped Classroom.” I’ll be teaching some “on-ground” courses in the spring and will experiment with this concept.
I have received a few requests for help uploading PowerPoint (PPT) presentations into ANGEL. This short video is one of several I will post related to media management strategies in ANGEL.

Well, 32 people attended my workshop on the instructional applications of Web 2.0. Ironically, around 7:30 PM last night I noticed this student chatting on Meebo, listening to her iPod, and preparing for the coming semester.

Thanks for attending my Flex Presentation, and welcome to “To Catch an Angel” blog! We face a tremendous challenges as educators in the 21st Century. We have an entirely new generation of learners in are classroom. They live in a “flat” world where its no longer sufficient to just have an education, but rather a range of broad skills required to succeed in both virtual and traditional working environments. In this blog we’ll explore these challenges, relevant research and critical commentary, and share ideas about best practice for technology-based learning.
