Interactive lessons

Allows teachers to switch from the typical lectures of class and allows there to be more interaction between the teacher and students and student to students.

Bigger Picture

I love Prezi, because you start out with the bigger picture and as you teach the lesson it can zoom in on specific branches of the lesson. You get to pick or make your own theme so it correlates to your lesson. The bright colors and movement of it helps keep students attention.

Organization

This is a great website because it allows you to make flow charts.

Team Work

Google docs allows students to work collaboratively, helps them engage in positive social interaction and active engagement in learning.

Connecting

This website allows you to right books. As a lower education teacher and for ELL students I would love to us it for connecting spelling, words, and pictures.

Virtual Field trips

Smithsonian National Museum is a wonderful place to visit. Sadly, its not realistic to go on a field trip there, but thankfully they have created a virtual "field trip". This allows students who would not be able to go visit the chance to explore and learn.

Videos

The resources you can find on youtube to use in your classroom are out of this world! My words of advice to watch the full video before showing it in class.

Motivation

Although this is something I would show the older, higher education students, I still believe that this is a great tool. There were many times when I wanted to give up, but Rita Pierson always knocks me back on track.

Weather men/women

This is an app ($1.99) built by a six year old and his dad. This is great for teaching students about the weather. It even has the ability to pick what you should wear for the day!

Noise Level

I loved this for starting off the school year. This is a website you can pull upon the board and the students can see whether they are being to loud. This would work great when doing group work.
