Examples of CBL solution videos
Jim Lerman's insight:

Katie Morrow started this Scoop.it site apparently today. She collects videos produced by students engaged in Challenge Based Learning projects. I think CBL is an excellent approach to 21st century learning. In a nutshell, it goes a step beyond Project or Problem Based Learning by having students be responsible for defining the problems that their research and problem-solving will address - rather than having techers provide the problems for them.

 

As many have said recently, even more than being effective problem-solvers, our students must become effective problem-seekers.

Screen-Sharing Comes To Google+ Hangouts

Screen-Sharing Comes To Google+ Hangouts | Scriveners' Trappings | Scoop.it

If you were waiting for Google to release a screen-sharing feature inside the Hangout real-time collaboration platform, that time has come.

 

In the next 48 hours Google will be rolling out to all Google+ users the ability to screen-share during any hangout session.

 

From Christopher Johnson G+ post: "When we launched Hangouts with Extras last September, we wanted to test new features and get feedback from users.

 

We’ve learned a lot over the past few months, and today we’re rolling out a new Hangouts look and feel that incorporates some of the “extras,” and better reflects Google’s overall design ( http://goo.gl/gG1NA ).

 

Highlights include:

 

- Screensharing: share what’s on your computer screen with everyone in the hangout. This is the first of many extras we’re graduating to Hangouts proper.

 

- Bigger video: we’ve put more emphasis on the live video itself by optimizing white space and other screen elements."
