What's Up in the Tech World
One week!
Remember, especially for our younger students, I have created a Symbaloo of image search options that are much safer than just a standard google search. Here is the link: Symbaloo Student Search Page. You can also find the link on the Teacher Technology Page in the top menu on the right hand side. One interesting comment I have heard from a teacher who is using this. The teacher has noticed that students have relied on Google to "give them" the image that works for a particular vocabulary word. Now that they are using the Symbaloo, the students must THINK about the meaning of the word and then find a picture. Imagine that, they need to use their brains to locate something :)
There is a free webinar on Tuesday about timelines. I have included the link below. The internet is an amazing resource but we must teach our students about fact checking! There is so much false information. How do students know which information is good and which is false? I have included a great website for resources to talk with your students. There are two apps that you might want to share with your students; one for math and one for flashcards of any kind. I also included my favorite video about "death by powerpoint" just because I thought we needed something funny.
