I have just been digging around again and have found the following to be pretty cool:
1. Coggle - This a pretty cool site to use for mind mapping and brainstorming. Students can create their own "coggle" or they can use ones already created there for studying purposes. IT IS COOL! They can also share it with someone, similar to a Google Doc and work collaboratively with it - LOVE THIS:)!!!
2. Green Screen by Do Ink: Our Kindergarten teachers have been LOVING ON this app ALL YEAR LONG! They have a few areas in their classrooms painted green, for their screen, and then take photos of kiddos by that. They are then able to insert just about ANY background onto the back - they have taken field trips, written about jobs they wish to have, and even shared Olympic themes for Olympic Day. CHECK THIS ONE OUT - it's $2.99, but would be worth to put on student iPads as the creativity they would have would be amazing. Really, you could hang green paper, green table cloths, green fabric, etc in common areas for kids to access the use of it - pretty neat:)
3. AnswerGarden: This is a great tool to use for online brainstorming and coming up with ideas as a group. The answers are then compiled to create a cloud of words with the answers. You can also create a QR code, which is embedded in there, to use for scanning and directly having access to the question and site. It is pretty cool:)!
4. Flipgrid: This website allows students to post responses to your questions, topics, or discussions in short video clips and share them on grids. Students can then watch one another's clips and respond. You can use their responses in assessments or use them for collaborative purposes. Create your own of use already created and uploaded ones - check it out!
That's all I have for today - have to get working on social studies curriculum - take care and happy Tuesday all!
