Updates on Instructional Technology in Aldine!
App of the week!
This week's feature is: MindMeister
This well-known mind-mapping tool made its way into Google Docs, and you’ll love this add-on. MindMeister can become an indispensable tool for your projects because it allows you to turn a bullet-point list into a mind map that’s better understood when inserted into the document.
Nearpod updates
Lots of great things coming to you from the Nearpod team! If you haven’t heard, Nearpod has acquired Flocabulary! We can’t wait to see what exciting things these two powerhouses come up for our students.
Also, Nearpod is beta testing a new review game that will soon be added to the activities, Time to Climb. Nearpod Certified Educators already have access to the fun game and can choose from something already created or create their own! Click here to learn more!
