Office Mix

This can be a game changer for many of us.

At our October 4 Flipped Learning session, Nikki Buchman demonstrated Office Mix.  I know I speak for our entire group when I say that we were blown away.  This suite of tools is available to users of Office 2013 and gives the capability to include many aspects of flipped learning to PowerPoint presentations and to export videos.  Since all educators in West Virginia are licensed to install five copies of Office 365 (including PowerPoint 2013) this is a great fit for us. 

Office Mix installs a plug-in on PowerPoint 2013 that allows educators to include screen clips, videos, quizzes, voice over and a plethora of tools specifically for inclusion in PowerPoint Mixes.  Once students have a k12 email address, you can tap some great statistics on student access.  Even now, students can take advantage of the Mix lessons although you will not get the analytics unless the students log in.

Many thanks to Nikki for bringing this to our attention and demonstrating it to us.  We can add this to our toolbox that already includes Screencast-o-matic and Explain Everything.  I would encourage you to try making a small flipped lesson with Office Mix.
