How would we ever create an exhaustive list of web resources? I have decided that Google classrrom and the full spectrum of the google resources are continuously being improved. I have developed a special place in my heart for the people at google that have created these resources that are user friendly for younger students such as high school and middle school.
Piggybacking on my previous blog..."no man is an island." Teachers need collaboration, intra- and inter-departmentally.
The following are annotated websites that I find very useful to use with students and as teaching resources:
Kahoot
https://getkahoot.com/
Kahoot is an interactive game for students that is web based. Everyone needs their own form of technology. It is interactive with the smartboard and a great way to review or introduce topics.
Kahoot has a great many topics or it will allow you to create your own.
Emaze
https://www.emaze.com/
Emaze is a powerpoint presentation on steroids. More interactive than a powerpoint with a lot more options and some pretty cool feature.
Readwritethink
www.readwritethink.org
This is an excellent source for teachers that warrants exploration. Teachers can find worksheets and graphic organizers that are excellent for visual learners.
Powtoon
https://www.powtoon.com/2/
With Powtoon you are able to create animated presentations as videos. It is a very cool resource that allows you as well as students to have a creative outlet for otherwise dry topics.
Google docs
Google classroom
Google research
I feel like the Google resources speak for themselves. Google docs has changed my life. Never again do we have "
Jeopardy Lab
https://jeopardylabs.com/
This is an excellent way to review that the students love. You can use whatever is already created or create your own.
Prezi
https://prezi.com/
Online version of powerpoint. Easy to use after a small learning curve. Better than the normal powerpoint.
Evaluating Web Resources
http:unf.int/essential_background/library/items/1420.php
This provides a good source for students to learn what makes a web source a reputable source.
Tiny Scanner
This is an app for android or apple users. Turn your camera into a small scanner that links directly to your email. Perfect for sharing documents or whatever you need without a copy machine.
Peardeck
https://www.peardeck.com/
This allows you to allow students access to your computer screen on their device. Very cool and helps with note-taking as well as is interactive.
This is by no means an exhaustive list. However, these are some really cool tools that I find myself using in my own classroom the most often.
