Presentation:
Prezi - Prezi is a site that I have just recently learned about. I have only played around with it a little, but it seems very useful. It is much like PowerPoint but easier to use and a little more appealing to the eye!
Glogster - Glogster is a nice free collaborative tool. Students can use this to create digital posters. This could be used by students to work collaboratively on an assignment and then receive feedback from others.
SpiderScribe - This is mind mapping in more detail! The first 3 mind maps are free. It is a great organizational tool for writing or projects.
Testing Preparation:
USA Test Prep - This is great for EOCT prep. There is a subscription fee though. Our school has purchased the licences for all of our students to have access to it. Very useful!
Socrative - This is a very useful site to get a quick poll of where your students stand with current material. You poll the class and they send you their responses from their phone. Quick results!
Study Island - This is another site that is very useful for EOCT prep. It does also have a subscription fee. It has a lot of tutorials and practice problems.
Resources for Sharing Information:
Smore - Smore is another site that I have just recently learned about but it is a great way to share announcements and upcoming due dates with students. It is very user friendly.
Remind101 - This is an extremely easy way to remind students of assignments or upcoming test, etc. Students can receive a text message to their phone. I use this all the time with my students!
Padlet - This is a great site for sharing information. Students can work together on project using this site or teachers could plan lessons together.
