Google slides

Google Slides is a fantastic tool for educators and their students. It is a fully customizable presentation tool where you can create and view presentations. You can add pictures, videos, and links, which adds more information and makes learning new things more interesting for the students. One way that I would use Google Slides in my classroom is I would create some of my lesson plans using the app to present to my students. I would also create an assignment here and there for the students to make their own presentation.

Nearpod

Since being introduced to Nearpod, it has become one of my favorite tools to use. It has a "quiz" feature and there are multiple interactive activities to help students learn. Some of the features include matching pairs, fill in the blank, and draw it. You can also fully customize these slides and add pictures and videos. I would definitely use this tool in my classroom to present new information and to help students review for a test.

Diffit

Diffit is a great tool for teachers to use while creating their lesson plans. All you have to do is put in a topic or an article and it will generate different questions and vocabulary for students, and it can do this at all grade levels. I would definitely use this tool as a teacher to help me come up with questions for a reading or a lesson.

Magic School

Magic School AI is also a great tool for teachers to use when they are looking for ideas to include in their lessons. Magic School is an AI tool made to help teachers with ideas for lesson plans, quizzes, writing prompts, and pretty much anything they need assistance with for any assignment they are creating. I would use this tool in my classroom if I get stuck while creating my assignments and need some ideas to make assignments more interesting for the students and also to make the assignment really align with the objectives for the lesson or unit.

Hippo Magic

Hippo Magic is a cool app that brings children's books to life right on their screens. After you download the app, all you have to do is scan the book and the characters become 3D and begin talking and walking you through the book. Since I want to be a 2nd or 3rd grade teacher, I would use this app in my classroom for sure because it is a good way to keep students engages, but also make sure they are learning something as well

Chromville Science

Chromville Science is a cool app that uses augmented reality to teach science. The way it works is students can color worksheets and can use this app to scan their work and watch it come to life. I would use this in my classroom as a fun activity after learning something new in science to help the students explore the topic in 3D and have fun while doing it.

My Wordle

My Wordle is a fun and interactive tool where there is a hidden word, and you have limited attempts to guess the word, but when you get a letter right, it tells you. With this specific website, you can create your own words for the game. This would be a fun and interactive activity to use in my classroom. I would use it to help with teamwork, maybe once a week, to learn how to work as a class, but I would also include words that my class is learning to stay on topic with the objectives.

Flippity

kristyn_murphy77 — 2025-04-15 14:41:09 UTC

Flippity is a great resource for teachers to turn information into flashcards, quizzes, bingo, word searches, and many more. I would use this tool to help my students study for an upcoming quiz or test, and it would also be a great tool just to assign for homework just to get some practice in.

Canva

kristyn_murphy77 — 2025-04-15 14:56:16 UTC

Canva is a presentation tool that many educators are already familiar with, and they have a QR code feature. You can create custom QR codes for free and they can be linked anywhere for people to access. I would use this in my classroom to link helpful information to students and they would have access to it whenever they need it, they just have to scan the code.

Classroom Screen

kristyn_murphy77 — 2025-04-15 14:59:50 UTC

Classroom Screen is a very user-friendly website where teachers can create a page for their students and add widgets that have any information that students may need all in one place. I would use this in my classroom for activities like my daily agenda and maybe add links to assignments.
