"Unhangout is an open source platform for running large scale online un-conferences. We use Google Hangouts to create as many small sessions as needed, and help users find others with shared interests. Think of it as a classroom with an infinite number of breakout sessions. Each event has a landing page, which we call the lobby. When participants arrive, they can see who else is there and chat with each other. The hosts can do a video welcome and introduction that gets streamed into the lobby. Participants then break out into smaller sessions (up to 10 people per session) for in-depth conversations, peer-to-peer learning, and collaboration on projects. UnHangouts are community-based learning instead of top-down information transfer."

"Activate is built around the idea of playlists. Most people (and especially kids) are familiar with this concept because of its popularity in music. An educational playlist is similar. Assembled by teachers, a playlist is a compilation of free, open resources built around a theme and designed to help students with their current classroom topics. Playlists can include resources like readings, videos, worksheets, games and quizzes, and they are typically specific to grade, topic and core standards. Students can try out multiple ways to learn and work through the playlists independently, at their own pace. Teachers can also make playlists to share information and resources with their colleagues."
