This is a web 2.0 tool used for mind-mapping or formative assessment

This student response tool works very well for formative assessments. Students can use it as little as an exit ticket or for a 20 question quiz. The results appear in a spreadsheet which is easy to download and use with your team for data.

This would be a place for students to collaborate and share resources. The website also says writing workspaces and formative assessment.

Fun easy way to share information in a poster/flyer form online

I love Smore posters! I used it to publicize my Bakery Business project and it was nice to have the social media outlets built in. My students also used it to make individual posters to print and hang around the school. It was nice to have a choice of mediums. I added Canva to this list but it is not as well adapted for online use. Smore is unique in its ability to forward through various social media networks and embed in email but still look so nicely done in print.

I use bitly all the time! As a frequent user of Google forms, I shorten the link before I share it. Sometimes I'm asking teachers to write a link on their boards to share with students, so this makes is less cumbersome.

Very nice application. any idea how it compares with tinyurl.com? There doesn't seem to be much difference.

This site allows people to collaborate and create stickies to help share and remember ideas.

This would be great for formative assessment. You create a wall on which students can post "sticky notes" to add to discussion, answer a question, ask questions, etc.

This looks like an awesome way to collect and organize formative assessment data from students. It looks free with the option to purchase more features.

Provides current news in the form of print and video including science & tech. Teachers can create an account. Students can blog safely

Great example/resource for student thoughts on tech tools in schools.

This is like Wordle - and you can form the words into shapes. I like that there is a link to "101 Ways to Use Tagxedo" for ideas for teachers (although I would caution teachers to have an educational goal in mind so using the program doesn't become just a "Wow" factor use)

Tagxedo allows you to create word clouds in shapes. It has customizable fonts and a print feature. A nice alternative to Wordle.

An interactive way to assess students through ipads, iphones, androids and more!

This looks like a great tool to use in my classroom. It would be a quick way to assess students on a topic before moving on. This tool is clearly geared towards teachers. It can help them to quickly grade quizzes that are easy but tedious to correct such as true/false and multiple choice. I would like to play around with this a bit more and see if there are discussion opportunities with it. My students use Poll Everywhere to have discussions or answer polls, but the results are posted for everyone to see. I like that the tools grades the quizzes and posts the results to a spreadsheet format. That would be such an efficient way to grade. This is much more user friendly than other automatically graded quizzes like Flubaroo. Thanks for sharing!

A few teachers in my building use secretive and have shared it in professional development sessions. It looks very easy to use and seems like something students would be very easily engaged with. Great resource for teachers to use with students. It would be just as easy for students to design questions and present as a quiz or dipstick check for understanding after a presentation or some other in class assignment. My school uses Promethean boards so we have this same capability built into that technology with the Active Votes or Active Expressions. I can also see this being something you could do with the poll feature on Edmodo. I think there are more and more resources out there in this style. I agree with Kayla that this is MUCH easier to use than Flubaroo, even though that is a very useful tool as well.

QR code generator. Has some options other than plain B/W. Pretty cool!

I like QR Stuff so much I have even paid for its use. I like that they keep track of your history in a paid subscription. I've used QR Stuff to create vocabulary scavenger hunts, to make a poster of sites to share with other teachers and post a video of the scavenger hunt to share. I've even made my own audio book recordings through QR Stuff. I see this resource as one to be used by students and teachers. The site has so many options for teachers to create codes for their classrooms. Students can link documents to digital portfolios, QR Creators are popular, but I haven't found another one that offers as many choices in codes and personalization features as QR Stuff. Ben you should look into Aurasma, an augmented reality app that adds a 3D component. And Socrative can be used for formative assessments.

QR codes are great for students, teachers and community members. I would guess many students and adults are familiar with them and if they don't know how to use them, know someone who is. Renee and Ben, I know some teachers use QR codes as a link to their Aurasma pages. I like this site because it offers more than the first-generation QR code generators. I can see many uses - I'd love to try one of the t-shirt or visual AR codes. I'm a fan of Tagxedo, which reminds of of the visual AR codes shown on the website.
