In the case of the latter, check out this PreK – 12 curricula from Khan Academy. In my last post, I focused on engagement in synchronous lessons.

The overreaching goal for each session was to support instructional strategies aligned to rigor & relevance and the 6 C's with a focus on the purposeful use of technology. Prior to the day, I spent a great deal of time planning my slide deck and associated digital handouts.

Educreations. One of the standouts in this screencasting field is Educreations. Educreations can be linked to file locations like Dropbox and Google Drive as well as LMS communities like Edmodo. Audio and video (in addition to the native voice-over and rendered Educreations movie) can’t be embedded into the presentation.

There are some ways to integrate technology in your classroom that adds value to your learning environment and pretty much can be a go to no matter what the lesson plan. Today, we have websites and apps like A Web Whiteboard, Explain Everything, ShowMe, and EduCreations that can be used to give students personal access to content.

Educreations - A terrific iPad app that is very similar to Ask3 as it turns the iPad into a recordable whiteboard. Khan Academy - Flipped Learning and Khan Academy go hand-in-hand where learning takes place outside the classroom. Also, they have an excellent free mobile app for kids, Khan Academy Kids.
