Embedded Files
There is an app or tool that can fit almost any situation you have in the classroom but we have to look at the purpose of the tool and the learning objective. The list below is just a general list of possible tech tools you could use in the classroom but make sure you have a designed purpose in mind before selecting a tool. If you need any help, please reach out to your Tech Coach (MS or HS) or TTL (Elem.), as well as your Instructional Coaches.
You can also look over SAMR and TPACK to gauge your use of tool but there are also other frameworks or tools that we can be using to ensure we are using technology effectively in our learning environments.
Below you will find some of the the top digital learning tools, that are either being used heavily in the district or are highly suggested tools. You can find all of the Google Apps on a separate page since they are not included below but are very effective digital tools to use in the classroom. Below that is a table where you can use the categories to find a tool to fit your need.
