Khan Academy and Flipping the Classroom

This is a set of links to accompany my presentation at the Scicon conference 2012


  • Archive of news links that include "Flipping the Classroom"
    These range from mainstream media sources to Blogs and web based material that were collated from a Google news alert since April 27. Some good material to get a feel for all sides of the flipping the classroom idea.
  • Khan academy
    Links to the start page of the site. The videos all share the no face, talk and draw style.
  • TED ED
    A recent development form the popular TED Talks site. Good potential to enhance and augment any existing You tube video clips by developing them into a more complete teaching item. Also a selection of pre-made resources available in different subjects.
  • Crash Course Biology
    Fast paced learning with an in your face hyper-narrator, Hank Green. Somehow refreshing after a diet of more serious presentations.
  • Bozeman Science
    Very extensive set of video lessons from Montana's teacher of the year  2011. Style is similar to Khan academy with the face or is it a talking head of Paul Andersen.
