Lesson Schedules 2.0 was released today. The 2.0 release includes content for all 2013 classes, including the new 2013 youth curriculum, Come Follow Me.
The 2013 youth curriculum has a more flexible, question-based format. When you set up a lesson schedule in the 2013 Come Follow Me curriculum, you can select a question you want to discuss. The question links to resources online for that topic.
You can learn more about the new curriculum from the Church News & Events article, Church Announces New Youth Curriculum for 2013.

You may know that LDS Tech has a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed. But you may not know that the address for that feed has changed. The new feed for LDS Tech can be found http://feeds.lds.org/ldstech.
Update your RSS reader today with this new address to be sure you don’t miss any of the articles from LDS Tech. Also add other Church feeds from a variety of different sites.

Topic: Getting Digital Media into Meetinghouses
The Church produces an abundant amount of video content. For example, the new Youth curriculum, Come, Follow Me, has numerous videos as resource options for lessons; the Leadership Training Library, the Mormon Channel, the Video, Audio, and Images section of LDS.org, and other sites all have abundant video resources as well.
However, getting video into meetinghouses poses a challenge. Many meetinghouses have wireless Internet, but the bandwidth is too low to support streams from multiple users, especially during peak hours. Teachers who rely on the Internet to stream videos during lessons will find that the videos pause, buffer, and stop — leading to a poor classroom experience.
