COOL TOOLS AROUND THE SCHOOL

Are you interested in flipping a lesson? Have you heard the buzz around blended learning but do not know where to start? Are you looking for a new “cool tool” to make a lesson or project more engaging? Please remember I am here to help you!

Here are just a few examples of some of the cool tools teachers around the school are using right now:

Voice Thread is tool to host online group conversations using text, audio and video. This is a great tool to continue rich conversation and collaboration outside of the classroom.

Screencast-o-matic is a free online screen recorder for instant screen capture video sharing. Screen casting allows you to be able to provide video instructions to students. Even better, you can have students create their own instructional videos as a project.

Piktochart is an infographic creation tool.  This is a visual display of information and data. Linked here is a great example of an infograpohic on the flipped classroom

Wix is a free website creation tool. Rather than creating a PowerPoint presentation or printed flyers students can create websites to share with their class.

As always please let me know if there is something I can help you with!
