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".

Educreations is one of the top contenders, teachers say, mostly because of its simple user interface and multi-functionality. "I use it when I need to make quick videos in class," said Ramsey Musallam, a high school chemistry teacher in San Francisco. Other features that teachers seem to love: the app offers more than one page for recording; the user can import images from other places and format them easily within the video; there's a text feature so students don't have to contend with messy teacher handwriting, and perhaps best of all, it can be used on desktop computers, not just an iPad.

YouTube has a firm place in the current classroom. From Khan Academy's videos to YouTube EDU and beyond, there's a reason all these videos are finding a home in schools. In an effort to help keep the ball rolling, Google just launched a set of 10 interactive lessons designed to support teachers in educating students on digital citizenship. A topic obviously quite close to Google's heart.
