    This is a great resource! I saved it to my own bookmarks for future use. I can definitely see how this will be useful for me in the classroom. I teach middle school I believe that many elementary apps can be translated into middle school. This is definitely geared towards teacher use which is what I like about it. Pinterest is a great resource and sometimes I forget to use it when I should!

    There are a so many of these lists out on pinterest anymore. I think it would be interesting to compare what apps tend to make the lists on more than one? I do love this site though and like that someone has spelled out exactly what can be used for teachers in the future.

  • However, I also agree that social media pervades all aspects of modern society, and it has become an imperative for us as educators -- and parents -- to model appropriate digital citizenship to even our youngest learners. Do I really believe that toddlers should have Twitter handles? Not really. But we do need to introduce children to the virtual, social world around them in appropriate and meaningful ways? Definitely.
  • Students already have enough screen time. Students need to be able to communicate in person. Students don't need to know about social media at this point -- it isn't age appropriate.

  • Getting Started: Developing Voice
  • Whether you introduce social media to students through a class blog, individual student blogs, Twitter or paper, there is no "right way" to begin. Do I really feel that toddlers should Tweet? Probably not. However, what's important is that we introduce all children to social media in appropriate and meaningful ways, regardless of their age, such that they can connect to a global audience and develop as empowered, networked learners.

    I really agree with this resource. I think there are a lot of concerns with starting young students on social media so early, but there are also so many important reasons as to why we should as well! I love the idea of creating physical blog walls for younger students. This introduces students to the concept of posting, tagging, and commenting without being exposed to the internet quite yet. Awesome ideas for teachers to introduce social media in the early elementary classroom!

  • Class Dojo: When I had a class that came to music after recess, lunch, and PE, I needed something motivating to help them focus. Class Dojo did just that. I set it up at http://www.classdojo.com and then accessed it through the free app to continuously give individual points for good listening. Price: Free
  • Photon EDU: If you like to use musictechteacher.com, quavermusic.com, and/or incredibox.com-all flash-based websites-then it is a challenge to use them on them on the iPads because iPads do not play flash-based websites. With a click of the lightning bolt button, Photon EDU makes flash-based websites work on the iPads. Price: $4.99

    This resource will be useful in future classrooms because it gives a very nice perspective of how things are going currently with STEM. I think this article would be most useful to teachers looking for ways to improve things but it might also be useful for students or parents who want to know more about the how's and why's of what is being taught.

    Austin, I love classes that use Poll Everywhere! I think this is a great resource for my future classroom and would love to use it but I think I would need to adapt it depending on the grade level I teach. I believe Poll Everywhere is beneficial for student and teacher use because it promotes a safe classroom environment and student engagement. Teachers can use this resource as a formative assessment and feedback tool. On the flip side students will be able to use Poll Everywhere as a way to speak up in class when they may be too shy to do so in other ways.
  • Haylee Hanson on 13 Oct 13
     
    I also love using Poll Everywhere in classes. I agree 100% with everything Nichol said in her comment. I think that it is a great resource to use in any class setting and is a safe, fun way to boost student engagement. It keeps learners participating and provides the instructor with feedback.
  • Kim McCoy-Parker on 13 Oct 13
     
    Austin - This is a great app for teachers to use in their classroom to get everyone involved. It could also be used by students in upper elementary and above to gather information from classmates or involve them in presentations. This is such an easy tool to utilize in the classroom setting. Thanks for highlighting this resource!
  • Megan Stewart on 14 Oct 13
     
    I loved using Poll Everywhere! I think this a great interactive tool for teachers to get students involved into the classroom activity! It's very easy and is very fun for students to use in the classroom!
  • Jake Willis on 14 Oct 13
     
    I used Poll Everywhere for the first time last semester and it was a great idea. It was a really fun time interacting with the teacher in that way. It was very easy to set up and even if you don't have a smart phone you can still text in your response. We answered questions ranging from single answers all the way to little short sentences. I would definitely use this tool if I ever became a teacher because it allows students to be on their phone and contribute at the same time, instead of just being on their phones.
  • Keith Lacock on 14 Oct 13
     
    I feel like this would be a great tool if it's used in the right context. I don't necessarily think elementary would be the right place for it. For the students that actually have phones you don't know if the students have texting included in their plans. You might get them in trouble with their parents, hence you get in trouble for telling them to send a text. In older grades I could see this going over very well and I've seen it used in a college class before. It's a nice change of pace in that context.
  • Ian Hubrig on 16 Oct 13
     
    I actually used Poll Everywhere in my Level 1 Teaching Experience and loved it! The students got to see some results of our lessons, I got a quick formative assessment, and the data was nicely organized for graphing or applying to spreadsheets!

    I liked this website, I agree with the fact that students are learning better via computer/technology. This website gives a good synopsis of helpful websites for teachers to use in their classroom, it basically gives them ideas and different ways to incorporate the technology in the classroom. I have found many teachers help teachers with technology websites throughout, and most of them have been mainly for teacher use.

    I've used Picasa before and it seemed simple enough to use. I think the upper elementary grades would definitely be capable of using this but I would maybe wonder if something like iPhoto would be a little easier for them to use? I've had a little better experience with that. If you were trying to get teachers to use the software I also think iPhoto might make them a little nervous about using photo editing programs. People tend to have good thoughts more often than not when they think of Apple.

Super simple for people who might now be to tech savvy. Everything was laid out in an easy to read manner. The articles looked fun and full of information. If I ever became a teacher and we were learning about the ocean this would be a huge help, because the Smithsonian is one of the most prestigious organizations in the world. The Smithsonian has many different interactive website that deal with all different parts of our planet, and the ocean is just on small sliver of their knowledge.
