A Different Kind of 'Flipped' Learning: Students Teaching Students

McGuire, D. (2013, May 13). A different kind of 'flipped' learning: Students teaching students [Web log entry]. Retrieved from http://www.eclassroomnews.com/2013/05/31/a-different-kind-of-flipped-learning-students-teaching-students/

The author discusses how he integrates multiple technologies in his daily lessons as a fifth grade teacher.  In showing his students how to operate the technology, McGuire's students became so engaged that his "role is now more of a facilitator while [his] students collaborate, coach, and instruct each other."  As a result, student achievement has increased significantly. This personal account I peppered with examples of engaging and meaningful lessons.
