I’m intrigued by the idea of where lecture fits (if anywhere) in a blended classroom. Looking at this research makes me want to dig in. Is flipping another form of lecture?

From John Schinker: Follow up from Educon (or, how to make what comes next actually happen)

I think this kind of follow up blog post is exactly the kind of thing that sustains momentum. It is about my other favorite event, Educon.
