/Technology Resources
Technology seems to be progressing as fast as the speed of light these days, so I just wanted to share my small collection of technology resources for teachers. Enjoy!
This website in particular is LEGIT - very thorough and useful site about integrating technology in education:
As our fearless leader, Daniel Pitcock, always emphasizes - technology isn't to be incorporated for technology's sake - focus on students using technology to PRODUCE, because this will be the expectation for them in their future education and their future careers.
Here are a few sites and/or apps that can be very helpful!
- popplet.com - graphic organizer with text AND images!
- edu.glogster.com - very student-friendly site to create amazing presentations with tons of options for student-choice!
- photopeach.com - students can create online slideshows
- wikispaces.com - students can synthesize their research in a complex web of information to share with the world
- jing.com , vimeo.com , or camtasia.com - students can use either of these sites to create videos
- goanimate.com - students can create animated videos about their learning
- voki.com - students can create speaking avatars!
- sketchcast.com - students can turn drawings into a video!
- storybird.com - students can create a picture book for ANY content area learning!
- bookrix.com - students can create their own eBooks to compile their learning in any subject area!
- primarypad.com - this is a web-based word processor specifically for students
Remember, it's important to consider the level at which student learning is happening in relation to Bloom's when integrating technology.
