9Slides

9Slides is a wonderful site/app that allows users to create engaging presentations by adding a video narration to their slides.  This is perfect for the "flipped" classroom model or for those educators interested in Guided Learning or even using a Pecha Kucha style presentation.  The way this works is simple, all a user has to do is upload a presentation (i.e. Keynote, PPT, etc) record their narration and sync to a slide and then publish.  Best of all a finished presentation can then be embedded into a site/blog.

GuidedVideo

GuidedVideo is a excellent iPad app that is free right now (normally $30) for creating video lessons for students.  This is done by recording yourself asking a question and then use your own photos as buttons for the answers to the questions.  For example, if you were asking a student what shape is a rectangle or tap the correct month, all the answers (up to 12) would be either different shapes or the different months, where they tap the correct one.  This can work for any subject or curriculum and great for Guided Learning and assessing students.

LessonPaths

I just wanted to share a brief post that MentorMobEDU the excellent site for creating "learning" playlists on the web, has just changed their name to LessonPaths.  Everything else will remain the same.  For those that are unfamiliar w/ MentorMob, this is an excellent site for curating the web into learning playlists that can be used for a number of different teaching styles, such as: guided learning, differentiated instruction, and even flipping a classroom.
