Math and Physics learning videos. Could be used for flipped teaching.

iPad/iPod apps, sorted by discipline, then category within discipline. Really awesome list.

Videos and examples of flipped learning.

The 800-lb gorilla of online math learning. Carnegie Learning's Cognitive Tutor is an adaptive, differentiated learning system in which student understanding is assessed and individually addressed as part of the learning process. It's truly an amazing system, but it's not modular -- in other words, you won't get the best use of it pulling out items for use in your curriculum, because the system's curriculum is intended to be used in full. But it might be worth considering -- results show huge results from this system. See http://www.carnegielearning.com/research/reports/

"iEARN empowers teachers and young people to work together online using the Internet and other new communications technologies. Over 2,000,000 students each day are engaged in collaborative project work worldwide."

Thanks for pointing out this one, John! I'd forgotten about it.

Not sure why he named it that, but it's an extension for Google Chrome that sends web pages to Pocket (nee Read it Later). Works great, and it's donationware so you can try it (or use it forever) for free.

Tons of links and resources on blended learning, from Diigo.

"Resources and Annotations from UW-Stout's E-Learning and Online Teaching Graduate Certificate Program. Contributors are mainly from the E-Learning for Educators Course & the E-Learning Practicum Course."

Information and resources on PLNs for educators.

"A blended learning approach combines face to face classroom methods with computer-mediated activities to form an integrated instructional approach." Leads to more links about blended learning as well.

"Digital learning resources, tips, research, and teaching and learning resources. Feel free to join this group to share related resources."

"For the inquisitive educator, there are some jewels herein that can lead to stimulating discussions, new resources, and an ongoing supportive network. You just have to know where to look."

Good background information on blended learning. Pay particular attention to the footnotes.

Don't know if they're actually "the best," but there are a lot here -- and they cover multiple interests and disciplines.

Free video chat with up to 6 people. Sounds pretty cool.

Research showing the effectiveness of Carnegie Learning's math curriculum. "The reports published here provide information about this evaluative research, including an overall summary of findings, a reference guide to aid in interpreting results and reports summarizing individual studies."

iPad classroom integrations and information.

A classroom music experience in which 24 kids (many on iPads) and several professional musicians collaborated on a piece of digital music. The piece they created may not shatter any sales records (though it is actually on sale in the iTunes store), but it's certainly not bad for student work. It's unclear how long they worked on this piece, or how many takes were involved, but the resulting music and video are good. And the students are left with a downloadable song that they created. So here are my questions: - are these students learning music? - is their learning transferable to real instruments? - to tweak Sting's words: is technology a legitimate teacher in this case?
