Remember this!

Listen to Ruben Puentedura here.

Or ask yourself these questions...

Is it necessary...Practical...Better...Relevant...More interesting... if it´s done with technology?

And be honest! Seriously!

2. Flipped Learning

Flipped Learning

It´s not just aboutvideo tutorials.

Focus is on our students.

Fosters self directed learning and
