Featured Programs
Each month during my team visits, I plan to share a variety of programs that will help you seamlessly integrate technology into your teaching. I strongly encourage you to explore what's being shared. If you need support, modeling, a punching bag or a soft hug...don't hesitate to e-mail me. I am happy to help in any way I can! Have fun!
Gynzy
It's here...is permanent. Please share your explorations via Twitter (and other) so others can see how you are using this program!
Incredibox
Incredibox is a tool that students can use to create music. It requires no musical knowledge or prowess...just a good set of ears and the ability to drag and drop. Your kids will LOVE this program. They can create and record music for their projects. NOTE: When we describe the Incredibox man, we like to say he's at the beach...
Kahoot
Kahoot can turn any lesson into a game show. The kids are fully engaged and learning. This program gives you the ability to stop and discuss answers and create interesting ways to assess students learning. If you haven't tried it yet...please do. It's simple and super engaging for kids ages 6-100.
