Welcome back to the Roundup!  I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving week ahead of them!  Today we begin at Getting Smart with a new post from Charles Reigeluth entitled, "Education 3.0: Helping All Children Reach their Potential."  In the post, Reigeluth covers a brief history of our evolving models of education and discusses how the current education paradigm is beginning to look (or at least what it should look like).

Next up, Kelly Walsh at Emerging EdTech has a new article in which he shares some excellent video resources for helping teachers become familiar with iPads in the classroom.  The post,"More Great VIdeo Sessions from the Teaching & Learning with the iPad Conference" shows off some great learning resources for teachers with iPads.

For those teachers who are new to the EdTech arena, you might have seen the term "Flipped Classroom" being thrown around a lot.  If you want to learn more about the practice, and what it looks like in the classroom, Katie Lepi at Edudemic has a wonderful new post, "What is a Flipped Classroom?" to introduce you to the basics.

Education and politics don't always get along.  However, as Drew Minock writes about in his new post, "The White House Got it Right!" occasionally things work out well between the two.  Minock discusses the White House's recent selection of 10 educators who were awarded the distinction of being "ConnectED Champions of Change."  I've included the video of President Obama's speech below.

And that's it for the Roundup this week!  Thanks for reading!  We will be back on Wednesday with a brand new podcast (the top 10 edtech apps of the season!) but the next Roundup won't be for two weeks, due to Thanksgiving!  So, I hope everyone has a few wonderful days off and we'll see you soon!

Today we'll close with a new infographic from Digital Learning Now (via Edudemic) that outlines the basics of blended learning in the classroom.
