Today, to the southeast of Block Island, there are five new structures rising from the ocean. These are the towers of the Block Island Wind Farm (BIWF), the first offshore wind energy installation in the United States. The turbines will generate 30 megawatts of energy; providing electricity to 17,000 households on Block Island and coastal Rhode Island (McCann, 2016), and replacing the diesel generators that previously powered New Shoreham. The turbines are on schedule to begin turning in November 2016 once commissioning is complete.

Have you ever considered flipping your classroom and engaging students in Project Based Learning at the same time? As I study these learning processes I see possibilities that allow the two to not only coexist, but also complement each other. How might this work? They do share similar emphasis on higher order thinking skills. Another not so obvious way the two can complement each other is based on productivity and time. Let’s take a closer look.

Beth Dichter's insight: This website from the University Notre Dame provides great resources to help you embrace media-rich experiences for your students. The site currently has 24 projects which you may explore. Each project includes: * A brief explanation * Samples of projects * Resources to help you learn how to make the projects * Rubrics The projects listed include: video story project, infographics, academic poster, book trailer, geographic map and many more.

While there is no magic bullet of practice, program, or framework that automatically produces progressive and effective learning, what makes project-based learning exceptional is its flexibility.

Isn't it amazing to see a baby or a toddler handle a tablet or a smart phone? They know how technology works. Kids absorb information so fast, languages (spoken or coded) can be learned in a matter of months.

Beth Dichter's insight: YouTube is a great resource...but there are times when you wish you had a list of great channels based on your discipline. InformEd states "we can now sift through thousands of resources while navigating a single repository, the potential for inspiration and growth in the field of education has reached a new height." The criteria that was used to select the channels were "based on views, subscriptions and quality of content." Channels are divided into the following catgories: * General * Physical Science * Engineering & Technology * Mathematics * Politics, History & Current Events * The Arts * Learning a Foreign Language * University Channels

"Internet Safety and Digital Citizenship are important topics ... it is so integral to what our kids do while they are at school. Whether or not you have a 1:1 program, these are topics that shouldn’t be overlooked! Don’t assume that because your students are fairly savvy when it comes to learning technology, that they will automatically pick up on digital literacy...it is essential that parents learn about digital literacy so that they can echo and enforce good technology use at home"
