Seven Web-based Tools for Delivering Flipped Lessons

Seven Web-based Tools for Delivering Flipped Lessons | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.freetech4teachers.com - August 16, 2014 7:10 PM

"This fall there will be teachers trying the flipped classroom approach to lessons for the first time. In the right setting the flipped classroom model can work well. My favorite tools for creating flipped lessons include the option to insert questions for students to answer while watching the video instead of waiting until the end to answer a series of questions. I also like tools that provide students with the opportunity to submit questions to their teachers while they are watching videos. These tools offer those options."

Beth Dichter's insight:

The tools covered in this post by Richard Byrne are:

* eduCanon

* Teachem

* VideoNotes

* Blubbr

* Zaption

* EdPuzzle

* Blendspace

You will find a video tutorial both eduCanon and Blendspace. Bryne describes each tool in detail in his post, making it easier for you to choose which ones will meet your needs.

Counting Down the Top S’Cool Tools for 2013: #1 - 10 (EdSurge News)

Counting Down the Top S’Cool Tools for 2013: #1 - 10 (EdSurge News) | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.edsurge.com - January 2, 2014 4:17 PM
Drumroll, please! The final S’Cool Tools countdown, based entirely on your clicks!
Beth Dichter's insight:

Here is the list of the top ten "S'cool Tools" for 2013 from EdSurge. Last week I scooped the tools from 11 - 20. Once again there is a range of tools and they are all free. Three are detailed below but you may view information on all ten in the post. Have fun exploring!

* Mathigon is an amazing math resource with videos, slideshows, e-books, apps and more. Resources are available for primary and secondary students.

* Google Treks - Are you looking for lesson plans based on Google Maps? If so check out Google Treks. Lesson plans are across the curriculum and all use Google Maps so the concept of geographic location is involved. If you want to create your own Trek there is a tutorial and a rubric to help you out.

* NuSkool uses "popular culture to enhance learning both inside and outside the classroom." Geared to students in grades 6 - 12 you may search for by grade, subject and genre. Genres include music, film, television, video games, sports, social networking and popular culture. Select your grade level, subject and genre and you will find a choice of lesson plans that include the media, a description of the lesson, procedures and assessments.

I've only used eduCanon, which is a good tool, but I couldn't get the embed code to work in our Sakai LMS. It only requires a paid version to use short answer questions. 
Drora Arussy's curator insight, February 11, 2014 8:22 AM

Imagine the possibilities - I can't wait to start playing! What a great way to reinforce language at home!
Ness Crouch's curator insight, February 23, 2014 4:36 PM

I've not heard of some of these tools. I'd like to create more videos so I'll have to try these out.

"Interactive video is a powerful new tool that allows teachers and learners to enhance video they make themselves–as well as the videos they discover on the Web–with text, images, maps, links, and other media...It appears that a new subgenre of interactive video creation tools is emerging...if you want to be part of the conversation, if you believe that video can do more than talk at you, you’ll be a lover of these powerful interactive annotation tools for video."

If you are looking for "powerful interactive annotation tools for video" look no further than this post from Joyce Valenz. She discusses seven tools that you may want to explore:
