In this audio clip, I touch on a few reasons why I chose these tools.

This tool allows users to create and participate in online forums and email-based groups. It could be used to connect to other teachers and see how they are utilizing technology in their classrooms, learning about the culture and language of the Spanish-speaking world.

This tool connects your students to others around the globe, digitizing the tradition of pen pal writing. There is a wide selection of projects that your student can sign up for. Once assigned, they will meet their pen pal and communicate within the context of the project.

Trello is a great way to visually organize progress for a project (student), or even lesson planning (teacher). It keeps tasks organized and shows progress made. You can create due dates for tasks, create checklists, import files and links, and more.

Creating a website would be perfect for keeping all items related to each course in one place. By using Google Sites, you can create a place where all students have access and you can link all assignments, websites, projects, etc. on one seamless dashboard.

Google Forms is a great way to get feedback from students and analyze responses in an efficient way. Whether wanting some feedback at the end of the semester to help prepare for the following semester, or simply wanting to get a grasp on how students are feeling about a particular task or project, this tool gets the job done. This is also an easy way to grab students' contact information at the beginning of the course.

Kahoot! is a fun tool that allows teachers to create games that engage the students. You can create quizzes and when ready to play the game, you make the game live and it will supply a game pin that students type into their phone or other device on the Kahoot! website. Students have a limited time to choose the correct answer, and even can see who is on the leader board after each question, which adds a fun competitive element.

Typically, most schools choose their own online dashboard for the entire school to use for grades, course announcements, and school-wide announcements and information. Blackboard is one of these platforms.

Google Hangouts is a video chat tool that allows students to connect online and talk while away from the classroom. This could be used for oral assignments where students need to collaborate with others. The hangout can be recorded and sent in for viewing by the teacher.

Even with the website, students still may need that extra nudge to stay on top of things, especially in a course with so many different tasks going on at once. Remind lets you send students mass texts to remind them of upcoming assignments, due dates, materials to bring to class, etc.

SignUpGenius is perfect when you need students to sign up for certain time slots, say for an oral exam, an online Google Hangout discussion, outside classwork, and more.
