Tech Tools • Google Research Tool • Quill • Qlovi • Three Ring • eduClipper • Ponder- cool tool, but requires student email
Google Research Tool • 1. Google Research Tool- In Google Docs there is a Research tool that allows students to search Google and cite sources. This would be beneficial for the times when the databases don’t have exactly what you need. Google Research Tool Video. • *Add-ons-EasyBib & Thesaurus
Quill • 2. Quill- A web-based tool that provides personalized, interactive grammar lessons for middle school students based on the Common Core State Standards. Each lesson consists of concepts from a very specific piece of the Common Core standards, such as individual lessons for each conjunction word. This would be great for a drill exercise. Interactive Grammar- Quill Overview Video. *Connection to Common Core State Standards *Specific Middle School Lessons
Qlovi • 3. Qlovi- Qlovi is a free K-12 eReading and writing platform aligned to the Common Core State Standards. This would be perfect for independent reading. An Introduction to Qlovi Video. *Can filter the search by Lexile *Free books to borrow for 6 weeks * Works best in Chrome
Three Ring • 4. Three Ring- Three Ring is a tablet and mobile app that allows teachers and students to snap a photo of written work, capture video of presentations, or record audio of student discussions -- all for the sake of supporting classroom organization. I imagine using this for my SLO documentation as well as student portfolios. Three Ring Overview Video. * Can’t upload large videos
eduClipper • 5. eduClipper- A web-based tool that teachers and students can use to collect materials--from digital text, video or other files on their computer, Google Drive, or even embedded code from other presentations or websites--and then share them in nifty Pinterest-like collections. This would be perfect for student portfolios. eduClipper Overview Video. *Works best in Chrome *Great for Student Portfolios *Organize content specific for school
Ponder • 6. Ponder- A “micro-reading response” tool that allows students and teachers to engage with each other when reading articles. Teachers can create a reading list for their class, selecting the sources (NY Times, ESPN.com, etc.) from which students can access articles. Teachers then make a list of topics that students can use to tag articles relevant to their current coursework. This would be great for close-reading with online text. Ponder Video. *Must be approved for an account-this may take a couple of days *Requires students to create an account for each class using an email address
