Week 1 - Historical Perspective - Due by 5/24/13
// Essential Learning Outcomes: Lessons learned, why flipped instruction is sound pedagogy //

Below is an outline of the main points from Markette's presentation about the history of American education and the Prussian Paradigm, meant to jog your memory of key points. Please reflect on the history of public education on your personal page.
 * 2013 has different goals for learners trying to enter workforce than does 1890.
 * These skills are based more on creativity, innovation, creation, and evaluation than ever before.
 * Leave mechanization to the machines; learn how to tell machines to work for you
 * What used to be end goals of education are now price of admission skills.
 * Therefore, the Prussian paradigm is not meeting student needs.
 * Effective instruction still moves through Blooms taxonomy via something like Hunter's method
 * A new educational paradigm is needed to prepare young people for their futures.
 * Getting stakeholder buy-in is critical. You are changing a paradigm.
 * A flipped class allows a paradigm shift within an existing institution, evolution not revolution.
 * Baby stepping into flipped instruction makes sense (Bergmann & Sams, Khan)
 * Reorder Hunter's steps, be purposeful in use of collaborative time in classroom
 * Harness Ed tech to simplify assessment of increasing level of complexity in student work
