11/9/2013 Flip your classroom with blendspace![]() I was recently introduced to Blendspace (formerly Edcanvas) - https://www.blendspace.com - via a recommendation on edmodo and it has already changed the way that I teach! This powerful web 2.0 tool allows you to organize and share content such as videos, images, documents and text using its intuitive drag and drop interface. The tool also allows you to create online lessons by embedding content from popular sites such as YouTube, Google, Vimeo, Flickr etc via its built-in search tool. You can also upload content from your computer, Dropbox or Google Drive. Blendspace is ideal for flipping your classroom – students can research a topic at home and use lesson time more effectively. As a teacher you can monitor students progress and measure students understanding with the built-in quiz creation tool. You can even check to see if your students have actually viewed the resources you have shared with them. Blendspace is also great for Project Based Learning (PBL) or differentiating learning. eSafety lesson created using blendspace How to get started using blendspace:
