Knowmia - The Digital Teaching Tool

A great web 2.0 tool for produser's everywhere, this handy iPad app affords teachers/students/educators/enthusiasts the ability to create and access video lesson plans that can be shared from YouTube, Edmodo, Google+, Twitter or other collaborative content sites.  One of the new tools on the market, established almost a year ago in August of 2012 by the same individuals who developed the flip camera. The blog post responsible for highlighting this app can be found here: http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2012/08/knowmia-create-share-and-watch-video.html#.Ud8jDkG1Hh4 by the author Richard Byrne. The app provides a great benefit to students who need to review learning concepts and enhances the personalization of the learning experience for students needing digital access to course content due to time/geographic/course/personal constraints. In addition, all information students enter when signing up for access on the site is confidential and any collaborative comments made to lesson plans are identified by a pseudonym. I am going to create a lesson plan for the produsage assignment this week, hopefully it will be a success!
