"ou don't need a degree in rocket science to know that visually organized data appeals more to students than plain text-based scribble. The visual stimulus is quickly captured by the brain and requires way less processing to understand and code it than written text. As teachers, we need to capitalize on this and try to include as many relevant visuals as possible. One way to do this is to use these visual alternatives to Google Docs. The web tools below have almost the same collaborative features Google Docs provide and they also have an added feature which is that of capturing and organizing data visually."

"We're living in an era of mechanized intelligence, an age in which you're probably going to find yourself in a workplace with diagnostic systems, different algorithms and computer-driven data analysis.

"Maybe you have the situation of one student dominating the Q and A time, leaving others searching for their chance to answer. You've tried the pull a name out of the hat trick, popsicle sticks, and notecards. Maybe that worked? Maybe not? Better yet, when that student answered the question were you really able to remember by the end of the day if he or she answered it correctly? It's simple. Pick Me! will randomly pull a students name for you to call on and after they answer you record whether or not it was correct using the thumbs up or incorrect using thumbs down. The data is saved and ready to export to your email account at the end of class. "

"Everyone says that everything moves fast on the Internet, but just how fast are we talking about here? How much data gets shared across the Internet?

Gaming, wikis, blogs, social media, interactive polls and QR codes: just some of the technologies that teachers are bringing into the classroom. The dizzying pace of tech evolutions offers some challenges as teachers and administrators race to keep up with the latest tools.
