If you are interested in exploring Flipping the Classroom, here are some resources you should check out.

TEDed - I just learned about this one. There is free content out there but by creating a free account you can create your own free lessons from your own videos or any youtube or TEDtalk. You can include questions for formative assessment and additional resources all right from the site. Watch the short tutorial this tool has great potential.

Epic Online Courses - Joe McFarland shared this site and video at a recent meeting. The Online Courses page has a great list of free open content resources for anyone to use. The EPIC 2020 video is great to watch.
