Infographic software (Canva, easel.ly)

Easily create posters, brochures, infographics and more. There are many possibilities for this type of software. As an assessment tool, students can choose to use this software as an alternative to traditional written reports (while still including all required information).

Mindmapping tools (bubbl.us, Coggle, Mindomo)

Software that promotes making connection between concepts. Have students create digital mindmaps that can be easily changed and added to. They can even work collaboratively on the same mindmap from different devices. Can be used as an alternative assessment tool (think making connections in novels in English).

Comic Making Software (Pixton, Comic  Strip It!)

Software that allows users to create their own comic strips. Some software allows users to take pictures directly from their device and upload it into the comic strip. This would be a great story telling tool that would engage students in the creative process (an alternative product that students could submit for assessment).

Tool that allows for annotation of files, and can record screen and audio as well. Can possibly using this as an alternative way to give feedback to students who submit work digitally (through Google classroom for example).

Tool that allows the user to record screen activity (and audio). A benefit to this tool is that it comes as an extension for Chrome and therefor can be used on Chromebooks. Teachers (or students) can create tutorials, record presentations, or provide feedback.

An app that allows the user to create (and edit) stop motion videos. This is a great way to integrate technology use into the classroom and give the students an opportunity to be really creative. This would be an alternative product students could submit for assessment.

Kahoot- A great quiz or "game" to play in the classroom that allows students to answer questions in multiple choice format using technology

GAFE- Google docs, sheets, slides, and google classroom are all excellent tools in the class and both make our jobs easier while enhancing the learning of our students

Twitter- I use twitter as a homework and general school update for parents and students

Padlet- Allows students to co-create and work on brainstorming sessions together that can be seen by the entire class

Easybib - Demonstrates how to create a bibliography and cite your work (mostly for intermediate students)

WolframAlpha-  An excellent math website that answers any math problems and then shows the steps to answer them (again this is mostly for intermediate students)

KhanAcademy - Math quiz and walkthrough website that has videos and step by step instructions that would apply to the majority of grades in a school.
