Empatico
Empatico is a FREE tool that connects students to the world. It empowers teachers and students to explore the world through experiences that spark curiosity, kindness, and empathy by combining LIVE video with activities designed to foster meaningful connections among students ages 7-11.
Trello
This is one of my favorite project (and life) management systems. With Trello you can create task cards to keep track of anything and everything. For the longest time, I was searching for a way to manage many of the projects and daily tasks associated with my job. Trello has become my to-do list, as it allows me to break down my work into smaller tasks. I can assign due dates, move cards into different priority levels, and add collaborators to any task. The mobile app allows me to use it on the go and keep my life organized at both home and work.
Geoguessr
Geoguessr is a fun game that develops students’ global awareness, problem-solving and research skills. The game starts by dropping the player into a random location on Google Street view. The player then has to figure out where they have been dropped to the closest possible point. Students have to think about different types of information within the map that they can use to solve a problem, use initiative and demonstrate perseverance.
To sum it up: a great game that can be used as a class filler to develop a range of skills.
