Course description
Nothing can kill a flipped learning program more quickly than the selection of expensive, complex technology that is poorly suited to flipped learning. Education technology graveyards are littered with the remains of tools, programs, and gizmos that teachers couldn't or wouldn't use. If teachers, administrators, IT staff and school districts had only known how to identify the best and simplest technologies for flipped learning. Now they can.
This one-hour, free course was created to empower you with the ability to avoid the 17 biggest mistakes educators routinely make when choosing flipped learning technology. When you're done you'll have the ability to distinguish between the good, the bad and the ugly in flipped learning technology. You'll also receive a certificate to prove that you've been trained in this vital skill.

Great couse!
by Omar Talbi
I enjoyed every single video in this course. All props to Mr. Bergmann for his hardwork and dedication to come up with such a brilliant course. I learned the importance of thinking before deciding. Technology selection for flipped learning can be tricky if you don't pay attention to the simple things, and that's what I learned from Mr. Bergmann. Thank you again for this course!

CULTURAL COMPATIBILITY
by Bonface Ireri
Please discuss issues of adoption to e-learning by lecturers and teachers. My experience is that many resist change due to "Institutional culture"
A lot of change management on techno-fobia, workload loss, e.t.c.

The information is clear and simple. Very informative, offers good ideas for schools and teachers to avoid mistakes that will blame the tech instead their lack of preparation, using their mistakes to justify stay in their comfort zone.
Thanks for offering this valuable tool.

The deadly sins are well explained with good examples. Videos are short and therefore, quite interesting.
Heartache saver
by Hassan Wilson
I wish schools would mandate their technology directors to complete this course. This course will save schools tons of time, money and heartache. As the course grows, I'd like to see more interactivity.
Great!

Great summary of considerations when revamping technology in schools
by Crystal Caton
A succinct course that gives sound advise on the considerations that must be made when upgrading or changing any technology platform in schools.
Works for Me
by Shelly Moses
Even as someone who has been heavily into tech integration for years, both on the teacher end and the support end. I found this succinct and useful. I even learned a few new gems. So you can teach an old dog new tricks.
I finnish the course
by Julio Alejandro Ramírez Soto
Thanks Jon and to all your team! It was very useful, I took my notes and It made me think about things I have not thought when I've chosen a tool for education. I also was engaged with your storys about been a director in an education institution.
Thank you,

Avoiding deadly sins is effective and efficient
by myron williams
This course provides the basics of how to start using technology in education effectively and efficiently. The teacher provides practical help and suggestions to those who are just starting, as well as though who may be using technology, but want to improve.
Well worth the time.
Wish my school had seen this before some of our decisions in the recent past
by john bristow
Course is short, concise, and packed with examples of what not to do--some humorous and some OMG why would someone do that? Packed with knowledge and well worth the hour or so that it takes to go through the videos. Advice: plan on spending 90 minutes or so in a single sitting if possible )if you are doing the course alone). If you are doing this as a group, do three or four videos and then discuss.
