We were going to use the app as a writing station this year ... but with our new filtering system the app doesn't seem to work very well with the embedded videos. #saddayformobilelearning Works OK with the webpage ... kiddos just can't see the videos when logged in as a student. As teachers we CAN get in to YouTube or Vimeo.

Interesting article: As educators we need to be thoughtful of what we implement in our schools. Innovation should not just be "new", but it should also be "better".

EasyBib's Chrome Extension Tells Students How Credible A Site Is - 0 views

The most interesting feature to me, however, is the way the tool can alert students of a website’s credibility. EasyBib measures credibility through a system of checks based on content, author, links, citations, currency (when it was published), who published it, etc. That information, compounded with data from the current 38 million students using the site right now, makes for fairly accurate recommendations, although some sites (like TNW) aren’t used enough for research to have a rating yet.
