Per conversation with Peter & Brandon, I wanted to share an example of Zappos style review. The thought is that we could repurpose this review style for us to review tools that could promote differentiated, customized and/or personalized learning. Here is my interpretation of the "zappos" video review structure: 1) Host/Reviewer Intro 2) Presentation of the product (both visual and name) 3) Quick visual "show off" of the product's attributes 4) Briefly go into detail on essential core features 5) Briefly mention envisioned/practiced uses & users 6) End with re-stating the name of the product These should be brief, quickly digestible, and instantly applicable to classroom practice. Comments welcome for agreement, disagreement, and additions.

There is no specific technology tools discussed in this article beyond "computers", but I think it is a good example of the writing style that our blogs could take on in that it gives a snapshot of what this classroom "looks" like. In our blogs we can go into specifics about how "flexibility" and customization can be brought to the F2F environment via teacher's workbench interventions.
