Pursuing constructive feedback with a focus on goal progression, students use digital tools to broaden their perspectives and enrich their learning by collaborating with others and working effectively in teams locally and globally (ISTE, Global Collaborator and Creative Communicator)
Below we list several technological tools that teachers can use to encourage collaboration and communication among students. Ideal tools that teachers and students alike can implement to tell stories, create digital content and share with the rest of the world.
Build internal project hubs, team sites, public-facing websites, and more—all without designer, programmer, or IT help.
With the new Google Sites, building websites is easy. Just drag content where you need it. Create a one-stop destination for all important information, including videos, images, calendars, presentations, documents, folders, and text. Then, quickly and securely share it with an entire organization or the world.
Mobile and web. Projects are automatically synced across the web or the iOS apps so you can work whenever inspiration strikes. Pick from photos, icons and fonts galore. Spark lets you select the images you want. Upload your own from your device or cloud storage, or select from thousands of free online images. Create a one-page website
Wakelet is another free way for people to save, organize and share the online content that’s most important to them, all in one place – from videos and podcasts to news articles, Tweets and Instagram posts. Wakelet allows that content to be organized, annotated and interacted with natively. Keep it private or share it with others.
HyperDocs, a transformative, interactive Google Doc replacing the worksheet method of delivering instruction, is the ultimate change agent in the blended learning classroom. With strong educational philosophies built into each one, HyperDocs have the potential to shift the way you instruct with technology. They are created by teachers and given to students to engage, educate, and inspire learning. It’s not about teaching technology, it’s about using the technology to TEACH.
