We discuss the trends and issues we observed during the weeks of March 23-April 5, 2015 as we flipped resources into our Flipboard magazine (http://bit.ly/trendsandissues). In this episode of our podcast, we discuss 3 trends. The first two trends were mixed bags of articles on online learning and learning and cognitive development. The third was a number of announcements about hardware and software.  We also reported that it was the 5th anniversary of the iPad.

We have three recommended readings for the week.
