Visit to Free Technology for Teachers Blog
I recently went to free technology for teachers blog
(http://www.freetech4teachers.com/) and I was amazed with how many
resources and ideas were on this blog. Just reading through the
different resources I started to think about all the great ways I could
use them in my classroom. For example, the "overlap maps" resource is
amazing. Students can visually see the relative size of different
countries, cities, provinces, etc. They can even compare the size of
one place to the size of another place. I definitely could see myself
using this in the classroom during a social studies/geography unit. Another resource I found really interesting was the "5 free tools for curating
educational videos from across the web." I think a lot of people
always go straight for youtube and think that is the only resource for
free educational videos, but there are more out there! This blog talks
about Miro, Squrl, yokto, plizy, and chill. I think this blog has
amazing resources for all teachers, not matter what grade they are
teaching. The best part is all the technology mentioned is FREE!
