I also enjoyed Salman Khan's video about how he started khanacademy.org. I truly believe in the concept of "flipped" classrooms and think that I could have benefited greatly from such a learning environment when I was in school.  I think that it is VERY important for the students to have prior content knowledge before the session even begins, so that during class the kids can work cooperatively.  I am hoping to try this concept with my MS school music students this year. I'm hoping it will be a huge success considering how much they love their smartphones!

Music especially is VERY hands on - students are actively engaged during the whole class period, that's why I love teaching it, however, if my students could access our music class "educational teaching" videos at home, then they will be able to learn the music at their own pace, and won't have to worry about the time constraints of class to learn the material.

Currently, I do not have an access ID through my school for the AEA online resources, but it will be one of the first things I ask for when I start! I will for sure be using the Learn 360 and Soundzabound with my students and will be experimenting with others as well.  I can see benefits from each of them!
