Web based tools

The EdTech teacher website provides hundreds if not thousands of way to incorporate technology into the classroom. The website is well laid out and is divided by topic, making it easy to navigate and to understand. I found several resources within the website very intriguing, leading me to investigate about them a little bit more.

Timetoast- We learned earlier how to create a timeline in Excel but this resource is great because they provide already made examples of timelines to use. The site is very simple to use and all you need is to create an account. Once registered, you can create a timeline, inserting text and pictures. This tool is essential to the classroom because it helps provide a visual aide in which students can be engaged by.

ePals- I like this resource because it brings out of the classroom without leaving the classroom. the ePals students can engage in learning bu creating real world, culturally- enriching  experiences. This resource helps by matching classrooms with other classrooms. For instance, a high school class studying Chinese can connect with a class studying English in China, or the classes can work on a another project together.

Scribble Maps- This resource is awesome! I always wondered how people altered maps while on the internet. This resource allows you to add text, draw shapes, and other countless abilities. Their website is easy to navigate and allows users the ultimate control in creating a custom map.

EdTech teacher provides so many valuable resources for educators to use, I love these types of websites because they allow teachers to find cool, active, engaging resources to make learning fun for all of our students. Rather searching around multiple websites, EdTech teacher brings it all to one spot, sure we have to explore the website a little to find something that works for you but that's half the fun :)
