Flippin’ Awesome Examples:

A “Flipped Classroom” is a classroom that uses class time to do activities/lessons (guided by the teacher) and “homework” time for guided instruction, usually through video. Basically, it turns a classroom upside down: the learning of a topic is done at home and then the applied practice or work is done at school.

How do I cite an image I found on the Internet?

First, you must search for the image’s Creative Commons attributes. There are many image libraries that will search for only those images that have permission to use and modify:

  • images.google.com – Click on “advanced image search” and then select for the “Usage Rights” dropdown, ALWAYS confirm that the images you find are actually licensed as you selected.
  • search.creativecommons.org – Allows you to search google and flickr for creative commons images, and several other search providers for non-image based content (try attaching “image of” or “stock photo” to your search terms.
  • pics4learning.com – A safe, free image library for education. Teachers and students can use the copyright-friendly photos and images for classrooms, multimedia projects, and more.
  • commons.wikimedia.org – More than 10 million categorized, photos, illustrations, footage, sound bites etc.

Can I embed video on my website or blog?

You are free to embed any video found on YouTube, Vimeo, SchoolTube, Watch Know Learn, etc. as long as it gives you an embed code. You can’t, however, with sites like Discovery Education since that contains paid content and requires login credentials.

How to embed a video from YouTube

The easiest way to cite a digital source is EasyBib. You will need to create an account, otherwise your citation will disappear in 3 days. There is also an easy to use Chrome extension already installed in your Chrome browser (if logged in with NEISD Google credentials).
