Often times students will ask me why words are spelled differently in the Old English text (Canterbury Tales, for example) than they are in more modern text. This would allow them to define the word, but then also dig into the history of where they word comes from.

By using Definitions, students will be able to improve vocabulary. Using images would allow students to have a visual and our limited English speakers use Translation each day.]]> 2018-02-19 14:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/alfordj/gxq7rfca6l9f/wish/232943132 Google Docs Add-Ons https://padlet.com/alfordj/gxq7rfca6l9f/wish/232947264 Highlighter is going to be great for student writing. They can type rough drafts and use the highlighter when peer editing. 

Formenate - I haven't quite figured it out, but I think that I will be able to turn my multiple choice test into google forms! Quick and easy grading! WHOO!

I love the highlight tool - this would be helpful for students who need to write TDAs. I also love the Word Cloud Generator. ]]> 2018-02-19 15:11:49 UTC https://padlet.com/alfordj/gxq7rfca6l9f/wish/232948540 Madrid Tour Builder https://padlet.com/alfordj/gxq7rfca6l9f/wish/232954967 Explore Madrid, Spain!]]> 2018-02-19 15:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/alfordj/gxq7rfca6l9f/wish/232954967 https://padlet.com/alfordj/gxq7rfca6l9f/wish/232956942 Favorite Soccer Grounds in the UK

We often read articles about current events in my World Geography and Economics classes. This can help students identify important places and figures. They can also indicate challenging or new vocabulary terms. In World Geography specifically, they could identify where they see the different themes of geography throughout an article or reading. This could also be used in argumentative writing. For example, if they highlight their argument in one color and highlight pieces of evidence in another, it will make it clear to me and them what they’re writing. Overall, I definitely see this being a useful tool in my classroom. 
The Table of Contents Add-On would be helpful for students to easily navigate lengthy Docs. I often divide longer readings into smaller parts. If I create the various part titles as subtitles or headings, students will be able to use the Table of Contents tool to easily navigate the Doc, and they can find their part more easily and more quickly. 
The Formenate tool seems like it would be useful to convert Docs into Forms to ensure that I have tests or quizzes in both formats. I think that it would be most helpful to convert open-ended worksheets or quizzes into Forms. However, I feel like creating a Form may be easier than using the Formenate add-on because of the specific format needed to use Formenate.
