Evernote is definitely a great utility to have in your EdTech toolkit. Evernote combines a bastion of powerful features all in one single platform: you can use it to create notes, add reminders to your notes, separate your notes into notebooks, clip web articles, snap photos to add to your notes and many other interesting features.
The skills that students need to contribute effectively to society are changing constantly, but our education systems are not keeping up. Most schools look much the same today as they did a generation ago, and teachers themselves are often not developing the practices and skills required to meet the diverse needs of today’s learners. What are the skills that young people need to participate fully in this rapidly changing world, and how can education systems best support the kind of teaching that develops those skills? What is the role of teachers in leading innovation, both inside and outside the classroom? What are the different roles and responsibilities of 21st-century school leaders, and how can countries best develop leadership throughout their education systems? To help governments address these issues, while placing teachers and school leaders at the centre of improvement efforts, the Canadian ministers of education, the OECD and Education International brought education ministers, union leaders and other teacher leaders together for the fifth International Summit on the Teaching Profession in Banff, Canada, in March 2015.
One of the secrets of the success of the International Summit on the Teaching Profession is that it explores difficult and controversial issues on the basis of sound evidence, provided by the OECD as the global leader for internationally comparative data and analysis. This publication summarises the evidence that underpinned the 2015 Summit, bringing together data analysis and experience to develop better education policies for better lives. The report was prepared by Andreas Schleicher. It is mainly based on data and comparative analysis from several OECD publications: TALIS 2013 Results: An International Perspective on Teaching and Learning; PISA 2012 Results; and Innovative Learning Environments. Julie Bélanger and David Istance provided expert advice, Marilyn Achiron edited the text, and Célia Braga-Schich and Sophie Limoges co-ordinated production of the report

El World Economic Forum (sí, esos amigos que se reúnen en Davos todos los años) ha publicado recientemente un informe titulado “Industry Agenda. New Vision for Education. Unlocking the Potential of Technology” en el que describen su visión de las competencias necesarias para los trabajadores del S. XXI y el papel que la tecnología educativa debe jugar en su consecución. Mi amigo Fernando Trujillo (@fsaez) me lo ha mandado y no puedo resistir la tentación de citar algunos fragmentos (las negritas son mías): In this report, we undertook a detailed analysis of the research literature to define what we consider to be the 16 most critical “21st-century skills”. Our study of nearly 100 countries reveals large gaps in selected indicators for many of these skills – between developed and developing countries, among countries in the same income group and within countries for different skill types. These gaps are clear signs that too many students are not getting the education they need to prosper in the 21st century and countries are not finding enough of the skilled workers they need to compete.
Los fines de la educación están claros: competir como “skilled workers” en este valle de lágrimas.
A educational method in which a student learns at least in part through delivery of content and instruction via digital and online media with some element of student control over time, place, path, or pace. Check out this great infographic from Knewton to learn more about blended learning (I also embedded at the bottom of this post).
The application EDpuzzle is a great teacher and/or student utilization and creation tool to find great educational video resources, add stopping points for surveys/assessments, audio input, and commenting. As a teacher you can enroll your students within the app or you or your students can create interactive videos and share them in what ever way is appropriate for your class.

"Life comes at us very quickly, and what we need to do is take that amorphous flow of experience and somehow extract meaning from it." In this funny, enlightening talk, educational psychologist Peter Doolittle details the importance -- and limitations -- of your "working memory," that part of the brain that allows us to make sense of what's happening right now.
