Top 10 Tech Tools I Can't Live Without!

1. Google- Can't live without google! Google is just a great search engine for anything!

2. Pintrest- This is a great tool because you can use this site to collect and create lesson plans and projects.

3. YouTube- I've found great educational videos to share with my students. They also have a channel that focuses on special education for teachers and students.

4. Animoto- In ED 505 I used animoto for the first time and I really enjoyed it. It gave me an alternative to presenting a lesson to my students and they loved it!

5. Delicious- This social book marking site is very helpful because I can always go back to websites/articles to gather information and I have already put them into categories so it cuts down on my search time.

6. PowerPoint- I use PowerPoint everyday in my classroom. Students love to see the different slides and pictures I create to enhance their learning experience.

7. Wikispaces- This is also a tool I used for the first time in this class. Wikispaces is a wonderful way for me to share information with my students and parents about projects, lessons, videos, and pictures.

8. Voki- I created 2 voki's for class and shared them with my students. This is also another creative way to motivate student learning and participation.

9. Twitter- I found twitter to be helpful with education information for teachers. It kept me informed of what was happening around the world in education and it was also a way for me to communicate with my classmates.

10. Glogster- A great and different way to create graphics and posters with useful information to share.

  4. The google search engine is my homepage. I like the way they change their logo on historically significant days. When you click on the logo it takes you to some great sites.

    Great top 10 list.
