It is important when integrating technology in your classroom to do so in a way that gets everyone interacting with one another

Not only is it important for you as the teacher to communicate with your students, but also finding a collaborative tool that will enable your students to communicate with one another

Through this, your students will be able to more fully develop skills in technology and critical thinking

Padlet:
This program which is being used to present the information allows students to communicate with one another in real time and post replies and reactions to one another's thoughts

Students can link outside sources, upload media from the computer, and can even draw to explain their thinking

Seesaw:
This is a program which allows students to share what they have learned through taking pictures and then explaining through voiceovers: through this teachers can follow students' train of thought and more fully understand misconceptions

This is a great tool for students who aren't comfortable talking in front of the class/raising their hand

Students using this create a portfolio of things that they have learned throughout the year

This allows parents to see what their children are working on as well!

Meaningful student engagement with Seesaw

Flipgrid:
This is a cool tool for the classroom because it allows students to record themselves and what they know, but then lets other students respond.

It can be used on lots of different devices which is helpful because not everyone may have access to the same technology

What makes this tool unique is that the classroom can become global in that you can connect with another educator somewhere else in the world and see what others are doing!

These tools are great for use in the classroom because it gives students a voice, which is something that is extremely important as they are learning.

Teachers have the ability to more fully connect with students and understand their thought process through these tools.

My students will use a combination of these tools to share what they think and have learned.

Padlet will be a great resource to use if we have class discussions, everyone can post and then reply or react to each other.

Seesaw will be a good resource for students to describe what they have learned and so retain the information: these videos can then be shared with the class to once again respond

Flipgrid will be a good resource for students because it will allow them to connect with other students around the world and discuss what they have learned in class
