Wow, the internet has definitely changed forever how we get information. Instead of just searching and reading information, we now can actively contribute to the "sea" of information. This has also spilled over into the educational realm. After going through a very lengthy list of current applications geared for educators, I have narrowed it down to a few that I really see myself using and benefiting from.
In my personal life, I love to scrapbook, so being able to do that with my students in the classroom via the internet and this app, BeeClip.Edu would be awesome. It would engage the students and they would have ownership in it because it would be personal pictures of them learning in the classroom. I also liked the app,
Thinglink because it allows you to upload images off the web and add text. This sometimes is difficult to do just "cutting and pasting" on a regular word document. This will save time. Venngage is a useful app that I can use to create infographics. This will be helpful to the English learners who need additional support of images, pictures, and text to understand information. Three other sites, I enjoyed exploring were, ikiMap- an app to create maps. This is essential for common core standards. I also think that Inklewriter will stimulate my students to want to write adventure stories, and finally LearnClick an app to create my own cloze paragraphs. My students really benefit from this type of framed paragraph and they could use additional practice.
