I decided to share my current favorites in 6 categories we use to do most of our coaching. If you ask me the same question next week, I might have a completely different set of choices . . . Stay tuned. (Many of these tools can be applied across multiple categories, so take the labels with a bit of skepticism.)
- Collaboration: Google Drive
(Suite of resources to collaboratively create Documents, Presentations, Drawings, and much more.) - Communication: Remind
(Remind (formerly Remind101) is a safe, free way for teachers to text message students and keep in touch with parents.) - Creativity: Thinglink
(Annotate image and video content with notes and rich media links.) - Critical Thinking: TEDEd
(Build a lesson around any TED-Ed Original, TED Talk or YouTube video.) - Curiosity: Wonderopolis
(Check out a wonder of the day.) - Assessment: Formative
(Formative runs on any internet connected device and is optimized for an 1:1, BYOD, flipped or blended classroom.)
If you want a few more here is our full resource site built with the help of my PLN: Recharge Learning
Last year we stopped sending out emails with weekly tips and instead asked interested staff to subscribe to this collaborative blog: Teaching and Learning
Recently we've also started sharing a Chrome Extension of the week with staff on our Instructional Tech Page. Bitmoji was quite a hit during finals week.
