Okay, I'll admit it. I got a bit distracted over the last couple of years - had a couple kids, started my own craft business, went back to teaching full-time - but I cannot believe that it has been nearly two years since I've posted. Shame on me! So after attending my first
EdCamp today, I was inspired to share more of what I learn, whether those reflections are polished or not. My hope is to get back into a more regular practice of posting and that begins today. So here it is, just a few of my random thoughts and links to goodies that I learned about while at
EdCampPhilly:
Tech Tools Teacher Should Know About:
- A must for teachers: www.cybraryman.com
- Gobstopper - annotated public domain with questions/quizzes
- Tellagami - create talking avatar characters to tell a story (for the iPad only)
- PlaySpent - A game to simulate what it’s like to live on minimum wage
- Professor Word - it allows you to look up the definition of any word in your browser
- Zac Browser - Browser for children with autism and autism spectrum disorders
- 121Writing - You can respond to Google Drive docs with highlighting and voice; give student writers feedback that they listen to, leaving the grade until the very end
- Lino - Stickies; more robust than Wallwishr/Padlet
- Apps Gone Free - Daily free apps
- Video Notes - Lets you annotate videos that you are watching
- And the big take-away: Choose2Matter But more on this one soon
