Back in May, I attended
my first webinar. It was put on by
SimpleK12 and I really liked it. The
moderator actually had so much good information I am still trying to check into
it all. During the 2 days, we were
introduced to many educational apps!! I
have been experimenting with 2 of my new fave resources and let you know how
the app might be useful in your classroom.
Edpuzzle.com
Edpuzzle…Love, Love, Love Edpuzzle.com
Edpuzzle.com allows a teacher the opportunity to modify videos to fit
exactly what is needed in a class. In
Edpuzzle.com the selected video can be cropped, questions added, and/or voice overs
created. On this site, teachers are required to set up classes and add their
videos to the class making them accessible to the students.
Schoology
Schoology is an app
similar to Otusplus. Both of these apps
are considered “learning management system” apps and are generally used as a ‘jump
off point” for students. The main reason
for having and using an LMS is that students can get used to getting on task
right away- increasing time on task!!
If you are planning on
blending more technology in your classroom or just want to begin adding
technology little by little, I suggest you look into these resources and
more!
More and more often I hear about teacher who are willing to implement technology in their classrooms - I'm really glad :) And I'm curious what your students will say about it. It might be highly beneficial for them to change a little the way they learn.
