It is free, accessible software that allows you to design, edit, and collaborate on 3D printing or cad designs. It can be used to create pretty much anything, so it allows for time to “Tinker” around. This works in designing anything you can build, so it would be specifically suited for industrial education programs and for science projects that create actual articles. It can also be used in STEM instruction to design pieces for robots or for projects that will incorporate coding, and it can be used to test multiple scenarios with your building project. By collaborating with their peers using this system, students can hone their cad skills to be applied to any of many science-related positions.]]> 2020-12-08 05:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cottagetechnology/Fall2019/wish/996940814 Instructables https://padlet.com/cottagetechnology/Fall2019/wish/996942260 Instructables is an online application that allows creators to give step by step instruction to their recipients. Not only does it allow users to create step by step guides, it also lets us educators assign creations to students and have them share with their peers. It has a teacher section that allows the educator to search by grade level, subject, and content area. It allows users to edit existing Instructables to fit their needs, and to save them as new files to be shared with others.]]> 2020-12-08 05:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cottagetechnology/Fall2019/wish/996942260 Evernote https://padlet.com/cottagetechnology/Fall2019/wish/996943280 While Evernote has been around for many years, educators have not been using it to its fullest extent. Evernote is a note-keeping app, that allows users to take more effective notes, adding pictures, links, or even videos to their note projects. This allows educators to create a basic format of notes and allows student users to fill them in in their own words. Evernote can be used to create guides as teachers push information to their students, and allows students to alter information already provided to them. By allowing the user to fully edit already created notes, this program becomes a more effective tool for note-taking and allows users full functionality with limited interference. It is easily useable with ages 3rd grade and up and can be used in any course of study.]]> 2020-12-08 05:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cottagetechnology/Fall2019/wish/996943280 Quizizz https://padlet.com/cottagetechnology/Fall2019/wish/996944224 Quizizz can be used for any content level. Teachers can choose from previous quizzes that were created by other teachers or they can create their own. Educators can also create full lessons with integrated quizzes following slides of information. This tool greatly improves educational equity in distance learning. The various options allow for different testing modes and can be tailored to the different learning levels in a classroom. The testing modes can be self-paced or instructor paced. Teachers can allow students to take the assignment unlimited or they can set a certain number of attempts allowed. Teachers are able to see the questions that students have gotten wrong and the percentage of students who got the question correct. Teachers may also allow students to complete redemption questions.
