Final Reflection
While working for TIE (Technology and Innovation in Education), I frequently did workshops and conference sessions on Free Cool Tools. I love knowing what is out there and finding great ways for teachers to engage their students. Technology IS a part of the current culture and we must utilize it with our students to prepare them for the world they are going to live in. Not only do we need to find these tools to help them, we need to understand the tools they are using and help them navigate the web in a safe and informed way.

Today's Meet

I love using this when I keynote and just can't get into the audience to answer questions. This tool can be used in the classroom as a way for students to ask questions and get help from one another and/or the teacher!

Google Docs

Until recently, I was Google Apps Certified and South Dakota is a Google Apps state. Google makes collaboration so easy! Many people can work on the same document at the same time. Collaboration is one of the main ISTE standards and Google docs allows that with ease. It is also a great way to turn in work to the teacher, even without using Google Classroom. I, personally, like using Google Docs because all my stuff is stored on the cloud and I can easily access it from whatever device I have in my hands!

Tiny URL

I have used Bit.ly in the past and it works much the same way. I like Tiny URL. It makes giving links to others so much easier. The long, complicated URLs are too easy to mistype and frustrate those trying to get to the site you are using!

What a great way to introduce a topic and see what the students know or to just brainstorm on anything. Love the way it looks and enlarges topics used more than once.

Kahoot
Kahoot is one of my favorite tools! I have used it in a number of trainings, both to show how to use the tool and to to a quick recap of the things we have been discussing! When I have used it with students, they get very excited and want to do a Kahoot every day. It is a great way to introduce new material or to review for an upcoming test. Very engaging!

I put together a quick unit on Edgar Allan Poe. This would be a great tool to use to give your students assignments. They can also add stickies to share information or ask questions.

Poll Everywhere
I have used this before and love it. It is a great way to survey your students or teachers. It can be used for formative assessment or just a quick survey of thinking.
