Welcome back to the Roundup! We've got a short one this week, so let's jump right in! Up first, Holly Korbey at Mind/Shift explores an issue that's been on my own mind a lot lately,"Can Students 'Go Deep' With Digital Reading?" In the post, Korbey does an excellent job discussing the issue, incorporating recent research, and addressing both the advantages and disadvantages of digital reading.
Up next, John Hardison at Getting Smart has prepared an absolutely awesome collection collection of tools and resources in "A Gold Mine of #EdTech Resources: Part II." Hardison covers Website Creation, Learning Management Systems, Apps, Blogging Platforms, and so much more. There are tons of great tools here that are absolutely worth checking out. And, if you're interested in part I of the series, you can find it here.
And, of course, some great new resources from FT4T:
Finally (I told you it was a short one!) we head over to the Ed Tech Review for a nice collection of resources from Prasanna Bharti entitled, "Flip Your Classroom with These Great Online Tools." Bharti covers EdPuzzle, eduCanon, Blubbr, VideoNotes, and Teachem, all of which are good tools and worth exploring.
The Lightning Round...
- EdTech Magazine gives us 5 Strategies to Reach At-Risk Students with Technology

And that does it for this week! But before I go, I want to recommend checking out a new app that was designed by a student fresh out of high school! It's calledSharedAgenda and it's basically a way for students and teachers to make the school agenda a social experience. It's a great app and it's free, so check it out!
Thanks for reading and we'll end with a new infographic from Presence Learning which looks at some of the benefits of online therapy. See you next time!
