"At my keynote at the recent Midwest Google Summit, I challenged the educators to write their own manifesto associated with teaching and learning. In my opinion, a really good manifesto gets after it, puts ideas out there, and is on the edge. So, several asked: "Where is yours?" A great question, so here it is. I hope it challenges your thinking."

Do you have a learning manifesto? Great food for thought from David Jakes.

"Over the years I've shared a variety of tools for watching YouTube videos without all of the "related" videos and advertisements appearing on screen. Watchkin is the latest tool in this market that I have tried. Watchkin is a service that allows you to watch and project YouTube videos without seeing the related sidebar content typically seen on YouTube.com. "

Another great tool for teachers who want to show and share youtube videos without all of the "related" sidebar content. Doesn't work if youtube is blocked. Similar to safeshare.tv.

"YouTube is loaded with tools and settings that teachers and students often overlook. The YouTube audio slideshow tool is one of those overlooked tools built into YouTube. I often demonstrate it in my workshops on video creation. In the video embedded below I provide a demonstration of how to use YouTube's audio slideshow creation tool."

This is a fantastic tip and tutorial from Richard Byrne for creating audio slideshows in YouTube. So excited to learn about this!

"There has been a huge buzz recently on Twitter about the new YouTube Kids app. There are thousands of great videos to search for on this new platform. The app opens up in a very clean and inviting menu that breaks down content into four categories: Shows, Music, Learning, and Explore. Each of these sections has designated channels packed with amazing video content. The YouTube for Kids App is FREE and is certainly one that I will be recommending at future conferences I present at. Where we couldn't fit all of the great content into this post, we certainly welcome you to use the comments section below to share your favorite YouTube for Kids channels."

It's great to see this review from my friend, Jeff Bradbury, for YouTubeKids. This looks like a great new app!

"I am a heavy user of Google Apps including Chrome and Chromebooks. These are the extensions that I use and feel are some of the best and most useful and consider a must have for all Chromebook users. Title of extension links to Google Play store. Link at end of entry is to other articles on how to use it."

A great list of Chrome Extensions shared by David Andrade. He shares a brief description of each and a link to the extension.

"How do digital portfolios help students learn? Where is the evidence that this assessment strategy actually supports improved teacher practice and increased student achievement? Why should teachers "do" digital student portfolios in the first place, since they are not required? How do performance and progress portfolios "mesh"?" Digital student portfolios can provide what other assessment tools cannot: Real, unabridged, minimally processed artifacts of learning that make sense to all the learners in the classroom, including the teacher. Technology used in this way can bring us as close as we can get to peering inside our students' hearts and minds to find out what they currently know and are able to do.

An excellent blog post by Matt Renwick, author of 'Digital Student Portfolios" with several examples using Evernote! Great followup to our ADE webinar on Evernote with Chris Giles.

A great resource to follow up on our Chrome Extensions webinar! Productivity Tools in the Classroom Series: Chrome Extensions for the Classroom with Chris Giles.
