CALL # 4
 
They present an infographic from Online Degrees that shows in a nice way the statistics about when and how much students use their smartphones (basic, news, and throughout the day). When the most interesting and I would even call it a scoop is the fact that 47% of college students don't have a smartphone.  
Flipped classroom blogger tries to refute the myth that flip learning is all about the videos. He claims that the video is only a tool that stands for direct instructions that takes place one-on-one via the videos. The videos don't replace the lecture/r, they only allow more quality learning that will occur when you meet your students face-to-face.
In "free technology for teachers" the blogger introduces the "graphic stories", which is a way to teach math by videos, that was created by  Dan Meyer and Buzz Math. Meyer uses videos in order to present his students a mathematical problem in a more authentic and realistic way than the regular workbooks. In the blog, you can find a link of Meyer lecturing in TED, where he explains how it works.  
 
On this week, the tools of technology that I like very much are PhotoFunia, of course, an awesome and great site that I'll probably use a lot (and I've already did...).
I like the Scribd website of images that are relevant to the 3rd - 5th grades. The Andertoons website is wonderful. I spent a lot of time on Lunapic editor, which is great. and I must say that the bookmark is very helpful and has a lot of value.

  1. Thank you for adding links to the relevant information. Isn't Edudemic a wonderful blog? It is a pity the article doesn't give ideas on how to USE those mobile phones in education.

    As stated earlier, I'd love to try out the flipped classroom idea but do not have the time to prepare the lessons this way :-(

    Yeah, Photofunia and Lunapic are great but also immense time wasters... beware!!
