Online Tools by Robert Livingston https://padlet.com/roblurtlivs/lh5iji915chq played with and to be used en-us 2018-10-28 16:42:05 UTC 2018-10-28 17:28:09 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lightdecrease.png For this course I've been introduced to a few apps. They include: roblurtlivs https://padlet.com/roblurtlivs/lh5iji915chq/wish/297772319 http://www.wisemapping.com/
can be used to make mind-maps. I did for a class essay, and it helped!

https://www.easel.ly/ can make infographics. I used it for week 3's forum assignment. I found it a bit clunky though and while the result is good, it isn't as user friendly as I would like. Here: https://www.easel.ly/infographic/zmkpva

https://prezi.com/ is a presentation building website that I've been acquainted with for a while. They are great, look good and user friendly. Take a look:

I plan on it though! roblurtlivs https://padlet.com/roblurtlivs/lh5iji915chq/wish/297773651 https://coggle.it/ and https://sketchboard.io/ were mentioned. If they are more user friendly that wisemapping I would definitely switch.

https://storybird.com/ is just lovely! So beautiful and works well with most topics. I'd really like to make one of these soon.

https://www.powtoon.com/home/? has been mentioned, but I've heard it isn't easy to use. Obvs I'll have to try for myself before judging, but I'm wary.

https://www.lumosity.com/ can help 'train your brain' for things like improved memory.

Really wary of https://twitter.com/ but apparently many academics are on it.  

]]> 2018-10-28 17:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/roblurtlivs/lh5iji915chq/wish/297774570 Here are some things I've come across, mostly from ESL Teaching roblurtlivs https://padlet.com/roblurtlivs/lh5iji915chq/wish/297775023 https://kahoot.it/ and https://www.polleverywhere.com/ can make quizzes and gather opinions quickly online with participants on smart devices.

Used https://www.classdojo.com/ to manage groups of young students, works well! 

https://get.plickers.com/ is really interesting as you can scan a room where sts. hold cards indicating their answer choice. Would really like to try this one out.

https://www.coursera.org/ offers many classes (mentioned in week one video) but I signed up for a class last year on refugee education. Unfortunately I had no time to do it but I really want to when I'm no longer a student!

https://www.linkedin.com/uas/login?_l=en is something a handful of my friends use. Might have to get on here soon as the degree finishes.

I really like https://www.wikihow.com/Take-Cornell-Notes I find the pictures soothing. The one here I've used with students (and myself) to improve note taking.

https://doodle.com/ is great for scheduling events with friends
