"Most Android phones and tablets have some kind of video trimming tool already built into the camera. Not everyone is aware of that and some phones don't make the option easy to use. YouTube has recently updated the YouTube for Android app to streamline the process of uploading trimmed videos from your phone. The YouTube for Android app now lets you trim the start and end times of your videos and preview those edits before uploading your video. This is quite similar to YouTube's browser-based video uploader."

"This event takes place on Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2012, 1 to 2 p.m. ET. The flipped classroom model-in which students watch video lessons for homework and receive more direct, individual instruction from teachers during class time-is rapidly gaining popularity in K-12 schools, with websites such as Khan Academy offering thousands of free video lessons. Some teachers see flipped learning as a way to spend more time working with their students and less time lecturing. But critics of the approach have called it nothing more than a high-tech, time-shifting tool that often leaves students confused about the content they're supposed to be absorbing at home. Our guests will discuss the pros and cons of this approach and highlight the best methods for making a flipped classroom successful. "
