Tech Resources:
5.1 for ET - 735
1. Flipgrid The best way I can describe Flipgrid is that is enables students to respond in a forum type environment via personalized video answers. The basic Flipgrid is free and allows a teacher to post a question with unlimited student responses. 2. #360Math Is a resource hashtag that shows various teachers incorporating the 360 degree approach to teaching math. Definitely worth looking at. It creates a class wide collaboration and get students out of their chairs and discussing. 3. Google Plus Community I feel as if Google Plus Community was overlooked by me. I was reading chapter 4 and was reading about connected educators give, promote and respond and it hit me that I had never searched the Google Community for users in my line of work. I am sure other are already using it, but, it gives a great location to search users and topics. 4. ALA (American Library Association) Reading Kelly Werthmuller’s article led me to her recommended resources, one of which was the American Library Association website. I used the search function just to test and looked up lesson plans, I instantly had access to hundreds of links that held a wide range of topic lessons plans. 5. Makerspace Blog is a dedicated to providing information on creating a makerspace room/area at your campus. Nicholas Provenzano provides various links, videos and reading materials to help make your makerspace a reality. |
