"In response to all of the attention given to the flipped classroom, I proposed The Flipped Classroom: The Full Picture and The Flipped Classroom: The Full Picture for Higher Education in which the viewing of videos (often discussed on the primary focus of the flipped classroom) becomes a part of a larger cycle of learning based on an experiential cycle of learning. Universal Design for Learning has also been in the news lately as a new report Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Initiatives on the Move was released by the National Center on UDL, May, 2012. This post describes the principles of Universal Design for Learning and how they naturally occur when a full cycle of learning, including ideas related to the flipped classroom, are used within the instructional process."

"With Touchfire on your iPad, you can feel where the keys are and rest your fingers on the home row without accidentally triggering the touch screen. You can now type quickly, accurately and comfortably - amazing! You can even type without looking at your iPad's screen. Touchfire cushions your fingers as you type, something both touch-typists and two-finger typists appreciate. Typing on your iPad is no longer a pain. When you want Touchfire out of the way, it gets out of the way. You can quickly retract Touchfire when you want to use the entire screen. And instantly flip it back up when you want to type again. Touchfire is ultra-thin and weighs less than an ounce. It attaches magnetically to the inside of the iPad cover and folds with the cover, so you can always keep Touchfire on your iPad without it getting in the way."

"A free-to-use font designed to help people with dyslexia read online content is gaining favour. OpenDyslexic's characters have been given "heavy-weighted bottoms" to prevent them from flipping and swapping around in the minds of their readers."

"Hallmark is now offering 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, All the Ways I Love You and Bright and Beautiful in their new Recordable Storybook format. These books allow a parent, grandparent or other to record themselves reading the story and have that recording played back automatically as the pages of the book are turned. A flip of a switch "locks" the recording in even if the batteries die. A very cool idea when used in the way intended, but possibly even cooler if you start thinking about it as an AT adaptable."
