Communicating
Whether you use the tools to communicate content with candidates or have candidates share their understanding, the following tools are great places to start.
Don't forget Mural.ly that we used today (please note it won't work with Internet Explorer)!
Infographics
Try http://www.easel.ly/ or http://infogr.am/ to create your own infographics for free
Bitstripsforschools.com
Create your own characters and comics. A great way to have students summarize or role play through a scenario online.
Prezi.com
A blend of mind maps and power point, prezi is a great tool to share understanding. The best part is that several individuals can collaborate on the same presentation
Collaborating
Collect the ideas of the group and co-construct your knowledge collectively using idea boards like padlet.com (formerly wallwisher) or the google docs suite.
Check out this fun clip for a quick model.
Connecting
Curating
With all the great stuff online, sometimes there is a need to collect and put together a selection to focus attention, choose the best or summarize learning. This smore is one tool that you can use but don't forget to check out storify.com as well.
