The folks over at Swivl have been VERY generous! Not only did they give me a Swivl to use and reflect on my own teaching and learning, but they also gave me one to give away to my loyal readers!
It’s been a big year for Shake Up Learning! This blog is nearing it’s first anniversary, and I’d like to offer something special to my loyal readers: a Swivl! Don’t know what a Swivl is? Did you sleep through 2014, because Swivl became a very hot topic in edtech this year. So for those of you who missed it, here’s Swivl:
What is Swivl?
Swivl is a robotic mobile accessory that works with your mobile device or camera to record videos. The Swivl tilts and rotates to follow the presenter as he or she moves around the classroom, recording wireless video and audio with its Cloud and Capture app. Swivl then automatically uploads these recordings to its highly secure network, Swivl Cloud.
Swivl is particularly great for teachers and students. This of what this fantastic device can do for the flipped classroom, for reflection, for presentations, and more! Don’t believe me? Check out this awesome video post from Tech Crunch on the impact the Swivl is having in the world of education!
Below is a video to give you a better idea of what the Swivl can do:
