A techtools databased organized by grade level or teacher need.

Britta, I can't believe that amount of resources available within this site. I especially like 204 products for teacher needs. I visited the few that are listed for grading, attendance and efficiency. I really need a tool that allows me to track attendance. Our policy allows students 2 days to complete missed work for everyday they have beenabsent. I don't do a very good job sticking to that because I don't have a good system to keep track!

Technology-based blog with numerous resources, tutorials and advice!

I had no idea you could do this with videos! I think this would be a very useful tool in the classroom. I have often times gone through a video and picked out specific spots I want to show my students, so I ended up having to write down those exact times so that I would know where to skip to. This tool would be very helpful with that. I think this resource would be mostly used by teachers to share videos with students. I have not seen anything like this for videos. I recently heard of a site that you can copy the youtube URL in and it takes it to a place where you don't get all of the advertisements on the side. Which is nice because those aren't always the most appropriate for school.

This would be great for a flipped or blended classroom. Teachers could use this to edit videos and incorporate them into lessons as well. Students could also do this if they are presenting information and want to use a piece of a video. EdPuzzle is a similar resource that can do the same kind of thing.

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.
