    This is an article discussing a new Ipad App called "Spin" which allows students to hold a online, collaborative discussion while viewing multiple videos at once. This is said to be the new "Skype" allowing communication and interactive discussion to occur throughout the world with one application.

    Wow, what a great collaborative app! In addition to implementing in the classroom, this appears to also have great potential for facilitating distance education. I wonder what the network bandwidth requirements are and how many simultaneous video streams can be supported?
  •  
    This looks like it could be the future of distance education. A great tool that could be incorporated into a class like our online Ed Tech classes at UNI. I am not sure if I would use this in a regular classroom, it would depend on the lesson, but this appears to be the new and best option for online video discussions.
  •  
    This looks like it has some great potential. I am going to have to check it out further.
  •  
    This is a really cool App that will be very useful in Problem Based Learning environments because it is a great collaborative tool. Great Post Hannah!
