Blog Post 7- 21st Century Learning and Communication Tools
There are many helpful tools within technology which that allow teacher student communication and promote learning. Here are a few examples.
1) Bubbl.us is an online mind-mapping tool that teachers and students can use to collaborate and share their ideas on projects. This makes it easy to visually present your concepts, describe your process, and grow an idea.
2) Quizsnack is a site where teachers, as well as students, can easily create polls, quizzes, and questionnaires. Once your desired poll, quiz, or questionnaire is completed you can easily share it with whomever you desire.
3) Astrid would have to be my favorite tool I discovered today. It is a site where you can share checklists and notifications when something is due to your class. It is an effective task manager that allows students to always be aware of upcoming assignments, tests, projects, etc... Forget the days of printing off a hundred syllabi, only to have your students loose them within the week. Now you can just use Astrid!

Hey Logan! Astrid seems like it would be a great tool to use for teachers. It would be something that I would love to use in my classroom! Let's just hope that the students would actually look at them. Hopefully parents will help the students keep up with it!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to look into the Astrid website! Remembering when things are due is something I struggle with and always have! Being able to share what assignments are coming up is a great way for teachers to keep everyone on the same page!
