The final 5 seconds of this video got cut off due to Padlet's 5 minute time limit on audio recordings but essentially I was wrapping up my thoughts stating that GroupMe is a much more direct method of communication, and would allow students to pose questions in a more efficient manner.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a screenshot of some of the GroupMe chats I have been in for group projects and other classes. A 12th grade history teacher could use GroupMe by creating a group chat for the class. The teacher can choose to be in the group, or just have it facilitated by students. In the chat, students could ask questions which would likely be answered faster compared to emailing the teacher. Groupme also designates one user as the chat "owner" and the owner can choose to add or kick people out ensuring that uninvited users will not be involved in the chat.

# data[].attributes.body
Groupme is a communication tool that is free to use and can be used on a computer or more importantly a mobile device. The tool is extremely easy to use as users simply make their accounts then can either start or join groups. This messaging tool allows users to join groups of up to 5k people and it offers in-chat functions such as polls, surveys, and the ability to send links, gifs, and other videos.

This post is a link to several Youtube videos posted by the official blogger account that is meant to offer help and support to teachers who might be new to using the tool. Once mastered, this tool can be highly effective in the classroom.

This screen recording features me exploring the anchor website which advertises some of their key features. Anchor offers built in editing and recording tools, as well as analytics regarding a user's audience, and the ability to upload podcasts directly to Spotify.

# data[].attributes.body
Anchor is a podcasting tool where teachers can record lessons and then allow their students to listen to them. This tool would be beneficial to a 12th grade history teacher because they could record their lessons and post them online, allowing students to go back and listen to concepts they might have missed the first time. The tool is free to use, and would be a great addition to any classroom.

This is a link to an expansive support guide for how to use ThingLink. This would be a great addition to any classroom that is presentation driven such as a high school history classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
This image is a screenshot of an image that utilized ThingLink. As seen in the screenshot, the image features annotations and interactive elements on top of a base image. The yellow icons are interactive elements that can be clicked on, and they lead to different images. This is meant to be a campus tour, so clicking on one of the yellow icons would take users to different buildings on the campus.

# data[].attributes.body
ThingLink is an interactive poster tool that lets users add interactive elements to images, making presentations much more engaging. ThingLink does offer free options for users, and it is used by a variety of Multi National Enterprises to conduct presentations. This tool would be beneficial in a high school history class as in class we often had to construct posters regarding different events throughout history. With ThingLink we could make an effective presentation on WW2 and include images, videos, and even links to other articles. This tool will help facilitate the 4c's as well by increasing collaboration among students as well as communication.

This post features a screen recording I took scrolling through the Speare website. The website effectively displays some of the key features and User Interface that Speare offers it's users. Key features include different formats for your writing, in-depth outlining tools and other features. The screen recording also features some customer testimonies from professionals who have used this tool.

# data[].attributes.body
Speare is another writing tool, but it is not a grammar tool like the other writing tools and instead the textbook classifies it as a "composition helper".  Speare serves as a drawing board for students to jot down different ideas and scraps of writing. Students can make a 7 day account for free, and the monthly plan is roughly $15 / month while the annual plan equates to roughly $5 / month.  A tool like Speare would help a high school history teacher facilitate the 4 c's by improving communication skills as well as critical thinking. Students would be able to analyze different structures of their writing and determine which is most effective for conveying their message. The speare website which can be found in this link also features a comprehensive "how to" guide under the "Support" icon on their website.

Flipgrid is an online video response tool. Users can create free accounts and join groups created by teachers. When prompted to join, users are asked whether they are educators or students. If you are an educator you will be asked to set up a group and create topics and once this is done you will receive a code to send to your students for them to join. If you are a student you will create an account and be asked to join a group via the code your teacher will give you.
