Sharing and Collaborating
▪ Google Docs - First of all, you never have to hit “save” in Google Docs. It records all of your changes in real
time. Enough said?Via sharing, multiple people can work in a document at the same time, making collaboration
simple. Google Docs links to a Gmail account, so students can easily move from school to home to library while still
being able to access their work.
▪ Google Forms -Whether you want to send a quiz to your students or organize a field trip, Google forms can
help you distribute and gather information. If you have a digital classroom, use the site to ask students how the
previous night’s homework went or to learn which lessons they have most enjoyed. Even introverted kids should be
able to provide online feedback.
▪ WordPress -Create a class website or blog on this free, easy-to-use site.Teachers of younger students can
keep parents informed of class activities and upcoming events.Teachers of older students can link to interesting
websites, launch online discussions, and post study guides. Some teachers foster writing and technology skills by
requiring each student to write a blog post.
▪ EduBlogs - Set up blogs here for yourself or your students, and you can control the safety settings.This is an
easy way to get students writing more without the formality of an essay or research paper.
▪ WikiSpaces - This is a great place for group or classroom projects because multiple users can edit documents.
Or, use it to build an educational wiki full of quality websites and reference materials for your students.
Internet allows
communication ad sharing
everywhere

Classroom Innovation
▪ Khan Academy - This site has helped revolutionize education. Students can watch video lessons and test their
knowledge, progressing at their own pace, and you can use the site to keep track of your students’ progress. Use this tool to
differentiate instruction or to flip your classroom. It’s also a great way for students to review material ahead of tests.
▪ EdX- Some of the best universities in the world collaborated to create this OpenCourseWare site.There’s a high school
section that is packed with videos to help for AP test preparation. Many of the courses on the main site are geared toward
college graduates or those in college, but there’s plenty that could catch the eye of a high school student.This would be a good
tool for students to test their interest in a college major.
▪ MIT Opencourseware - MIT designed this site for high school students. Some of the material comes from
college courses, and some was created specifically for high schoolers. Students can watch videos and comb through
test preparation material.Try out a flipped classroom, or push your accelerated students further. All core subjects are
covered, but as you would expect, the science and math are standouts.
▪ TED-Ed - This site makes the flipped classroom option look possible — even easy.TED-Ed has thousands of lessons that
you can customize with your own questions and resources. If you want to start from scratch, you can upload your own video to
YouTube and then useTED-Ed to add written material.
▪ Edmondo - This site has many of the same features as Facebook andTwitter but is designed specifically for
education.You can gather materials for your class, connect with other teachers, and organize groups of students for
collaborative learning. Students can ask questions of you or their peers.
▪ MOOC List - A massive open online course(MOOC ) is an online course aimed at unlimited participation
and open access via the web.
Great for a flipped classroom,
differentiated instruction to
supplement and enrich learning.

Organizing and Planning
▪ Evernote - Ideas and inspiration often come at you quickly. Evernote allows you to
keep photos, recordings, and notes in one place, so it’s especially useful at conferences and
lectures.You can record a lot of material and return to it later. It’s also handy when you have a
substitute. Keep your lesson plans and worksheets in Evernote, and pass off the appropriate
folder to the sub.
▪ DropBox - Install DropBox on your tablet, smart phone, or laptop, and you will be able
to access your files wherever you are.This is also a great tool for students who are working on
different computers at school and at home.
Keeping everything organized
and readily available is
challenging.

Teacher Development
▪ Edutopia - Forward-thinking teachers will find a wealth of resources here to support
their biggest plans. Browse articles and videos from experts on blended learning, flipped
classrooms, differentiated instruction, and more. Check the discussion board for answers to
your toughest questions.
▪ Harvard Graduate School of Education - Glean some of the
insights without the tuition bill.Watch streaming talks and read articles from the leading
thinkers in education.The Usable Knowledge section is full of interesting research and is
easily searchable.
▪ Teacher Channel - Hundreds of videos offer teaching tips on topics both large
and small. Use the Q&A section to get ideas from your fellow teachers.The blog provides
insight on topics such as integrating material from different subjects and maintaining a
supportive classroom throughout the year.
Great way to keep up
with trends in education.
