This is a type of presentation service that would be great for digital story telling. It is more exciting than your traditional powerpoint and provides a more visual way for students to present ideas.

Prezi is an excellent presentation tool for both students AND teachers. Many other storytelling aids exist (and there's always PowerPoint), but all the ones I've seen are simply copycats of Prezi. Hand's down, Prezi is the gold standard in Web 2.0 presentationmaking.

My students love viewing content through prezi rather than ppt! I need to expand it to student use next year.

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.

Scratch is a free programming language and online community where you can create your own interactive stories, games, and animations.

One of the most popular resources for teaching basic programming. The platform is web based and simple enough to get started with that students would need little to know instruction to get started. The site offers many resources for teachers and students, and there is also a downloadable version to use when internet is not available.

Nirvana is an online organization tool that follows the theory of David Allen's "Getting Things Done."

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.
