Summary: Another one of our beloved Education tools has died. This week’s show mourns the loss of the Flip, only to get excited about the many alternatives that already exist that will take its place. News Watch: We take our first headline from Mashable: RIP Flip, and discuss the effect that the loss of the Flip will have on educators. Jay says to move on. Judi says there are iPod Touches. Dan eulogizes the Flip. Blog Watch: EdWeek’s Liana Heltin ponders the loss educators feel, but helps us decide on five Flip alternatives for the classroom, thanks to Mediabistro.com. We build on this. Twitter Talk: Tons of eulogizing of Flip over at search.twitter.com (keywords: educator, flip) , you’d think this was an Irish Wake.
