 "I've provided a primer on note-taking strategies, many of which I personally used during my academic career. A lot of this is fairly basic stuff-there are no "secrets" to note-taking success. But hopefully a few of these tips will help you start taking notes more effectively."

RT @rmbyrne: Create Time-stamped Multimedia Notes on Your Android Device https://t.co/0gPQ4h5ych

For students there are two distinct benefits of using Evernote. First, bookmarking online with annotations helps students not only keep track of websites they find useful while researching, it also helps them remember why they bookmarked a site. There's nothing worse that looking at your bookmarks a week or two later and wondering what it was about a website that prompted you to bookmark it. Second, by writing course notes in Evernote students can access their notes from any device that is connected to the web.

could be a great way to collect hand-written work without actually collecting pieces of paper. Just go around the room snapping images of your students' work. You can add notes to each image before and after the upload so it is possible to grade work using the notes field next to each image. A short video overview of the Three Ring app is embedded below.

"Class Messenger makes it effortless for teachers to send home important notes and updates about the day's learning experiences. They can even see exactly which parents have read each note. And whether via app, text or email, communication through Class Messenger is always private." It takes a Teacher about 30 seconds to build a Class. Then Parents or Students or both (depending on what's appropriate) can either sign up online (kind of like following someone on Instagram or Twitter) or get invited by email by the Teacher. After that, everyone can exchange messages via the app, website, email or text….you choose. You can send photos + documents, create surveys, donation requests and meeting requests all with a few touches or keystrokes. And it's free!

RT @fibeal: Note how this teacher collects his favourite Grade R movement videos in one place using Symbaloo. So clever! http://t.co/OOh ...

Flipped classroom teachers almost universally agree that it's not the instructional videos on their own, but how they are integrated into an overall approach, that makes the difference. In his classes, Bergmann says, students can't just "watch the video and be done with it." He checks their notes and requires each student to come to class with a question. And, while he says it takes a little while for students to get used to the system, as the year progresses he sees them asking better questions and thinking more deeply about the content. After flipping his classroom, Bergmann says he can more easily query individual students, probe for misconceptions around scientific concepts, and clear up incorrect notions.

A nice example of a teacher blog

As the The Gamification of Learning and Instruction Blog Book Tour has been underway, another interesting discussion has been occurring in the learning blogosphere. It was sparked by Ruth Clark's article "Why Games Don't Teach." The article kicked off a firestorm of debate, demands for proof and even name calling. Christy Tucker addresses the question in her post. There is a healthy discussion on the eLearning Guild's LinkedIn group. In Guy Wallace's post on the subject, he quotes Dr. Richard Clark talking about the "ideologically committed gamester." (ok, so its mild name calling, but still….)
