I love this concept. Techsmith is really starting to create an ecosystem for learning through video. What is the next step do you think?

What would an Global and Open PD Calendar Look Like?
I’ve been thinking a lot about Project Roundtable, and how others can start to take part in creating online experiences for one another.
In this carcast, I discuss how using a Global and Open PD calendar might help create cross-district and cross-state collaborations for PD. It would allow for those with certain areas of expertise to provide that expertise for one another.

Learning Tools: Appear.In – Hangouts, but without the Google+ Baggage
So, I love me some Google+ hangouts. They are amazing, and I couldn’t be happier that they fit nicely into the Google ecosystem. But, let’s say that you don’t actually want a Google+ account or that you don’t want to work within Google at all. Well, then you lose out on the amazing learning tool that is Hangouts (and Hangouts on Air). Well, for some of the features, Appear.In is probably a solution that will work for you. It is an HTML5 video conferencing tool, and it lets you reserve rooms and set them up for your participants. I’m intrigued by the platform and I think it could be something interesting.
appear.in – one click video conversations
Video conversations with up to 8 people for free. No login – no installs
What I'm Learning: SAMR in Practice
I really like the simplicity and lack of specific app focus in this interactive SAMR infographic. However, it does skew just a bit toward Apple’s iTunes U and iBooks ecosystem. Good for thinking through how you do Note taking, Research, Presentation, File sharing, Reading, and Assessment.
How To Use The SAMR Model For Classroom Tasks – Edudemic
I recently stumbled across this nifty interactive infographic from iPadders, which takes the concept of the SAMR model and applies it to basic classroom tasks, such as note taking and assessment. You can play around with the graphic by selecting either a class task on the left hand side and seeing each of the SAMR categories, or you can choose one of the SAMR categories on the top, and see how it would affect each of the classroom tasks. Alternatively, you can just click “see all” if you’re impatient like me. Some of the boxes contain links to different apps/sites/products that were used.
What I'm Learning: A Great How To for Connecting your Youtube and Google+ to Enable Hangouts on Air
Someone was asking for how to do this today, and I think this tutorial does a rather wonderful job of explaining the process. Enjoy!
I absolutely love using Google+ Hangouts On Air to record PD sessions and for recording Flipped Classroom lessons. It is quick, simple, and seamless once you have gone through an initial, one time, slightly convoluted and aggravating set up process.
