Eclectic Technology

Books often provide inspiration. This book list provides 50 books listed in five categories:

* Inspiration

* Leadership

* Educational Psychology

* Learning Culture

* Practice

A short description of each book is provided as well as a link to Amazon (at least for the books I checked). And think of this as a list of 50 great books. The post states "Number one is just as great a resource as number fifty."

If you are thinking ahead to some great summer reading that will impact your classroom next year this would be a great place to start.

We read about flipped classrooms in the media, but what does that mean? This post will help you understand what the word means. If you believe that it means only “school work at home and homework at school” you will find that there is a much deeper description. You will also find a visual that looks at the four pillars of F-L-I-P:

* F = Flexible Environment

* L = Learning Culture

* I = Intentional Content

* P = Professional Educator
