Blendspace

Blendspace is a super cool website!!! I had such a great time trying it out, that I think I will be using this more often. Blendspace is a site where you can create digital lessons in less than five minutes. As classroom teachers, we are always challenged with time and with Blendspace, teaching a lesson is just awesome with the digital effect. Furthermore, it is a great way to introduce a new topic while keeping the students' interested and engaged with their learning.

An advantage I see with Blendspace is the ability for flipped classroom to be successful. Flipped classrooms/teaching is becoming popular in many schools, and with Blendspace, this would be the perfect site to create a flipped classroom. In addition, Blendspace targets differentiated instruction with the steps it requires for you to create a digital lesson. You simply look up video clips from Youtube, additional resources from Google, Educreations, etc., and pull them all together to create your lesson.

At this time, I can't think of a disadvantage with using Blendspace. It really is a wonderful site that I can't think of anything that would be a disadvantage. I guess I am just having fun using it.
