"FlipQuiz™ provides educators with a quick way to create your own gameshow-style boards for test reviews in the classroom. Traditionally, these are created tediously, using poster board, chalkboards, PowerPoint™ or dry-erase markers on overhead slides. The review questions themselves are usually written on a separate sheet of paper. With FlipQuiz™, questions are displayed on-screen and boards are saved for later use. Combined with a beautiful board, students are more likely to be interested and stay engaged with the test review process."

"Amazon just opened its free library of open-education resources, called Amazon Inspire. Anyone with an Amazon account can now see the collection and download resources, but the Share feature is turned off, with a "coming soon!" label next to it.
