Symbaloo, a tool for differentiated instruction
Ready to finish this school year, just thinking about the new one! Personal Learning Environments (PLE - Personal Learning Environment) are systems that help students take control and manage their own learning. SymbalooEDU or Symbaloo is a website where we can organize the tools, websites and any online resource that we use in the classroom every day, creating what is called a " webmix " which can be set as your homepage when you open the browser or can be posted on the school website to be accessed from anywhere.
YouTube is undoubtedly the top video website online. The stats I have recently read are really amazing; 60 hours of video are uploaded every minute with over 3 billion pageviews per day. It also has thousands of channels ranging from technology to Laugh and Gags. Given the important of YouTube as a primary source of video content, Educational Technology and Mobile Learning has dedicated a whole section to reviewing educational tools and tips teachers and students can use to maximize their benefit from YouTube.

7 Good Screen Capture Tools for Teachers

One way to avoid that is to create annotated screen captures of the tools you're introducing. Another way to avoid repeating directions over and over again is to creating screencast videos in which you explain each step of the process.Have you or your students ever considered creating digital portfolios on the go? Well now with the new mobile technology everything is possbile. There are a variety of apps that can help you create and organize portfolios and sketchbooks and some don't cost you even a penny.

10 Things You Can Do To Make Yourself an Ed Tech Star This Summer
As I watch Twitter at this time of year I see a mix of sadness, relief, and excitement that the school year is ending for many teachers.

Flipped Classroom
The Foundations of Flipping
Best Practices for Teaching Today "Kids don't show up to learn new stuff. They show up to apply the things they've learned at home." Aaron Sams As a new teacher, I often seek advice from other mentors.After Valerie Strauss’ article in The Washington Post featuring my class: “The Flip: Turning a classroom upside down” , I got a lot of positive tweets, emails, facebook messages, etc! And I also got quite a few questions from interested teachers who weren’t quite sure where to begin… I wanted to share a bit of an email exchange with a fellow AP Calculus teacher (her blog has some really nice reflections) because her questions were spot-on and I thought our exchange might be helpful to others.

Flipped learning: A response to five common criticisms
By Alan November and Brian Mull Read more by Contributor One of the reasons this debate exists is because there is no true definition of what “flipped learning” is.

While the debate goes on, the concept of Flipped Learning is not entirely new.UDL and The Flipped Classroom: The Full Picture

Universal Design for Learning has also been in the news lately as a new report Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Initiatives on the Move was released by the National Center on UDL, May, 2012. This post describes the principles of Universal Design for Learning and how they naturally occur when a full cycle of learning, including ideas related to the flipped classroom, are used within the instructional process.
