‘What I Really Want Is Someone Rolling Around in the Text’ [from The New York Times]
"Although I’ve played with Kindles and iPads and Nooks, and I like them all in theory, I haven’t been able to commit to any of them. As readers, they disable the thing that, to me, defines reading itself. And yet I’ve continued to hope that, in some not-too-distant future, e-reading will learn to take marginalia seriously. And it looks as if that might be happening right now."

Lights, Cameras, Action: Let’s Flip Your Classroom! [from ILA's Teaching withTech blog]
"We explore applications like SMART Notebook Software, Screencast-O-Matic, and EDpuzzle. I like EDpuzzle because you can upload your videos and then add questions and stopping points to assist with processing and accountability of the lesson. It also lets you know who watched the videos and how students answer your embedded questions. We practice recording videos and then design lessons for 3–5 minute flipping videos that introduce a skill or strategy while holding students accountable for the content within the video. "
