Skype is a wonderful tool to bridge the gap between us and the world around us and most importantly to teach social skills. I would love to connect to a school outside of the USA if possible to have student share how maybe for example how holidays are celebrated, differences in cultures or even learn a language.

Kahoot is something I am pretty sure that we have all at least seen, but what I want to talk about with it is the use of it as a test! I found this as a great opportunity to use for a test because then it often still engages the students, and then you get the results of the test right away. It allows a teacher to see where the students are struggling on their knowledge and can correct the test right away. What I really enjoy about it, is that for students with IEPs, it breaks down the test question by question so that the students aren't overwhelmed by the test questions and seeing 20+ questions. Instead, they see one question at a time, and it gives a solid pace for every student.

Powtoon is something I've seen before in college. It's a fun way to take a boring Powerpoint and make it into something engaging for all students. In the classroom, I can use this for a quiz review-I can have students follow the Powtoon, and write down the one that they are still struggle with, or their favorite thing from the powtoon. I also like Tillman's idea-using it as a way to keep kids engaged on syllabus review and expectations.

This was not on the list but I would like to add it. This is a great online tool students/teachers can use to make short, succinct presentations.  I have used it in my classroom for book "reports" where students were required to make a trailer (similar to a movie trailer).  It includes the ability to use stock photos and music as well as upload your own.  I have also used it to showcase awesome student work and for students to preview examples of expected work (sometimes just letting it loop as my students were coming into the classroom). Teachers can set up a free account, which includes free student accounts, using a school email address. It is awesome.

Webquests are a great way to provide background on a topic for EL students while keeping them focused and engaged. A Webquest can also be used as a supplemental activity or as a way to refresh students on a topic they have previously learned about. I like how this website lets you search a huge database for a subject and topic. Since we are working on a unit related to Martin Luther King Jr. I did a search and found quite a few resources I could use. Great resource!

Skype would be a fantastic tool to teach the students about since they could use it both educationally and socially to keep in contact with their friends or family. Within my classroom I would try and arrange meetings with people who use math in an everyday setting to show the applications of math class. Too often we tell them that the math is relevant and that they can use this in their lives after their education career, but by skyping with a professional we can show them that this is true and hopefully motivate some the students to care about the math.

Websquests have always been a favorite of mine because it integrates technology skills along with content skills. It couples reading comprehension skills with discovering how to use technology and maneuver a series of webpages to find information. I like Tillman's idea of using it on the first day for rules, expectations and syllabus, so I'll steal that and have the students search through my class website to find the information they need.

Powtoon is a cool way to present--it turns simple slide presentation into an animated video. Teachers and students can use this resource to present notes and projects. Powtoon also has several templates to get you started with a presentation. As a teacher, I would use Powtoon to introduce the class rules and syllabus and make these things a little more engaging!
