Beth Dichter's insight:
Richard Byrne (of FreeTech4Teachers) has created a new slideshow of his top picks of web tools for 2014. He states "I shared only tools that are new-to-me since last year's NCTIES conference and or have released significant enhancements in the last year." As always it is worth looking through this lengthy slideshow, which is embedded in the post and also available through Google docs so you may choose to save a copy. He notes that he will continue to add speaker notes to include "more links." Some of these tools have been mentioned in this Scoop.it but there are quite a few that are new to me that I will be checking out.

Beth Dichter's insight:
If you are looking for ways to use ThingLink with your students you should check out this slideshow available on Google Drive. It provides 66 (and growing) ways to use ThingLink in the classroom. Some of the suggestions are geared to teachers, and others are student oriented. ThingLink is free to educators. If students do not have an email they share a way you may add students to your account. They have recently put out an app (free) for the iPhone and iPad.

A different education technology tool for every letter of the alphabet! So many ways to bring technology into learning. A look at 26 tools organized alphabetically. Begin with Audioboo, a program that allows you to record and share audio blogs, and end with Zooblogs, a "safe online publishing tool" with another 24 listed. Although you may know some of these chances are good there will be one or two new ones. Have you heard of Wingclips, Thumbscribe or Studeous? How about NoteMesh, My Maths or Fluxtime? Head over and see if there is a new tool that you may use for yourself or your students.

"Are you looking for ways to integration technology in your lesson plans and courses that provide for an engaging experience for you and your students? Fans of instructional technology know that it can be fun and inviting, and engaged students are far more likely to be learning."

What are the engaging techniques? Below are five. More are in the post and many have links to specific tools (many of which are free) that will help you. * Interactive Collaboration * Active Learning * Student Created Presentations * Embedding Questions in Videos * Digital Maker Spaces Learn much more by clicking though to the post.

What happens when you or your students forget your online password? You should start using some of these web tools for teaching without student logins.
Beth Dichter's insight:
Check out this list of 14 websites that students may use without needing a password. The list is split into three areas: * Collaboration, Assessment and Drawing Tools * Literacy Tools * Maths and Map Tools Each tool is discussed and links are provided. If you have additional tools to share please write a comment and include the link to the tool.

Often a problem when learners forget log-on details! Great to have alternatives at the ready!

"Infographics are interesting–a mash of (hopefully) easily-consumed visuals (so, symbols, shapes, and images) and added relevant character-based data (so, numbers, words, and brief sentences). The learning application for them is clear, with many academic standards–including the Common Core standards–requiring teachers to use a variety of media forms, charts, and other data for both information reading as well as general fluency."
Beth Dichter's insight:
The use of infographics seems to be increasing and this post presents 46 tools that you may use to create an infographic, or better yet, have your students create an infographic. The tools are arranged alphabetically with a link to each as well as a short description. Some have costs involved but others are open source and freely available.

A list and links to the ever increasing number of tools that we can use to create infographics. |
How many times have you watched a PowerPoint slide show that had lots of flash, but little content? All too often teachers may try to design a lesson around a specific tool, rather than focusing on the skills we want our students to gain, and then finding a tool that will provide the opportunity for the skills to come forth.
This post shares information:
* Look past the flash
* Present an objective, not a recipe
* Let them figure it out
* Encourage collaboration
Within the post you will also find suggestions from some teachers as well as some additional links.
