= The Sandbox at EB =

Welcome!
For the last couple of years we have been testing the waters of the Common Core, and now it's time to jump in and swim!
 * Need ideas about implementing Common Core?
 * Thinking about flipping your classroom?
 * Have great ideas to share?
 * Looking for a place to ask questions and find out what works?
 * Looking for tools and resources?

"Where do I start?"
You are in the right place. To your left are links to pages where you can explore flipped classrooms, Common Core resources, and tools you can try with little pain. Click around and explore.

"You want me to collaborate?"
Well, yes, I do. It's easy. To start on any page you can click comments and add your thoughts. For example, have doubts, concerns about the flipped classroom model? Click comments and tell us. Another teacher may well respond to your comment or stop by in person to share an experience and idea or even to commiserate. And just like that, we are collaborating.

When you have more confidence, hit the edit button and add resources and articles we may want to look at. **//This is not my space, it's our space.//** Contribute away. Please.

"But I want to touch the stuff before I commit."
Yes, me too. We are working on getting a real live sandbox in our current alps room. You'll be able to play around with iPads, test-drive iPod touch (great way to try apps if you have no smartphone), sample projection equipment, and more. Here's my proposal:. Please make comments and suggest improvements.

Take off your shoes, and stick your toes in The Sandbox at EB!
