One tool I looked at was Learnist. Just by browsing the list of potential reads, I already felt supported in my journey towards digital curriculum. In a Pinterest format, articles about concepts such as gathering data and using new technology tools were readily available from other educators. I know now that I can frequent this site for new ideas or "how-tos".
Another tool that I tried out was Bag The Web. This was an awesome way to not only store great websites for professional use, but organize student resources. I found that this particular site was very easy to navigate and could be used effortlessly by both parents and students for resources. In the future, I will be able to collect and post valuable websites for parents to use for extra information and practice at home. I can also sort through websites that are the most beneficial for students to use during a unit or specific assignment.
As I continue on this online learning exploration, I progressively find more fantastic teaching tools to use with my current curriculum, all the while transitioning to greater digital use. I am starting to wonder how I will be able to choose among them all!
I am happy to find someone that feels like me. I honestly feel like a kid in a candy store. There are so many tools and resources I am excited to use. I am sad that I have to wait until next year.
ReplyDeleteI just want to use them all.
