Week 7:
Top 10 tech tools I can’t live without:

First, I must add qualify this answer by saying that I have been out of the classroom for 6 years.  Many of the new tech tools were not available when I was in the classroom.  While I have been extremely busy during this class, and at times wanted to quit, I am very thankful for all the updated information that I learned in this class from my professor as well as my peers.  I had an interview today at a job fair and one question was “How will I incorporate technology into my classroom?”  I was able to answer this question with confidence and examples of how I can organize some my favorite websites (through delicious. com) and employ bubble.us to include the graphic organizers I always like to include in my lessons.

1.   Bubble.us
2.   Smartboard
3.   Qomo
4.   Delicious.com
5.   Glogster
6.   Animoto
7.   Power point 
8.   Microsoft excel
9.   Microsoft publisher
    10. Blogspot.com

  1. Good luck on the job hunt. I don't know of any schools in my area that use Smartboards, but I"m so curious about them. Several of the schools are 1:1 or bring your own device schools. It'll be a challenge and fun to see how implement what we have learned.

  2. Good luck finding a job. I really enjoyed bubble.us also. I had never used it before, and I will use it in my classroom as a way for the students to brainstorm about topics in class. Great post!
