The history of a flipped classroom

I think this infographic does a fantastic job explaining the history & rationale behind a flipped classroom.    I found it John Medici's blog.

"How to Do Research" infographic


What is it?
In one of our "back to school" meetings we had recently, we were discussing the Common Core Standards.  Informational text is going to be a major focus, as well as creating independent thinkers.  Teachers, in general, tend to give too much information, and not require the kids to do as much thinking.  One of my collegues mentioned some of the steps to good research, which reminded me of this infographic I found recently.  It was created by the Kentucky Virtual Library.  It takes you (or better yet, the students) through the steps to doing research.  The part I like the most about this infographic is that it is completely interactive.  You can click on any of the steps and find more information about that stage of research.

How could I use it?
I envision directing my students to the site & having them explore it on there own.  Following the exploration, we would have a discussion around the different stages of research and their importance.  Depending on the age of the students, they might need a little more guidence.  I could see creating a note taking form for some kids...but is that just me wanting to guide them too much?
