SLO's and WebTools

Through out my county and state, teachers are being asked to create Student Learning Obejctives (SLO) which are used to not only improve student acheivement but to also evaluate teachers.  In addition, each SLO needs to be aligned with at least one common core standard from math or reading and standards from the teachers content area.  While constructing my SLO, I have been working out ways to incorporate technology besides using word processing (they will writing a persuasive letter).  I have been thinking about using a webtools as a way to prepare my students for the upcoming assessment.

What webtools have you used in your classes that prepare students for your assessments?  Do you feel they are effective?

Flipped Classrooms

Since our group presentation topic is Flipped Classroom, I wanted to see who has actually used Flipped Classrooms before.  The physics teacher at my school uses this style of teaching and many of the students I have spoken to love this approach.  They view the topic of discussion the evening before they have class and then answer questions that go along with the presentaion.  They said it is great because you can move at your own pace.
