Brian Bennet is a high school teacher who has a different outlook on education to help teach the 21st century students. His students are learning graphic design and many more computer aspects to help them further their education. This new way of teaching is known as a flipped classroom. It simply just means that these teachers are trying to let technology be a new way of learning. The post I commented on Mr. Bennet's blog of when he went on a radio show with The Trend to talk about his aspect of teaching. He has been teaching for 25 years, but yet still has a new view on technology instead of strictly just text books. He teachers freshman the aspects of technology in a way to use computers to engage in projects.
Flipclass chat starts with a bang
The flipped classroom has become a major hit through Brian's network of sites. He had almost a thousand tweets with comments and remarks on the flipclass chat. As soon as I began following Brian on twitter, I immediately found many more teachers with creative tweets about the classroom that are useful. I left a brief acknowledgement on his page that I am following him and enjoying all the feedback that his chat was receiving. The flipclass chat is becoming a weekly event on Monday's, so anyone is free to join. I will continue to follow Brian because he is a smart educator, who understands the concept of technology in the classroom.
