Over the course of my Masters program, I found some great technology resources. Some were helpful for my papers, some for my projects and some just for ideas! I've included a few of my favorites below. I've separate them between those you can have your students use in class and those for Teachers, but keep your mind open and innovative, because some can work for both!
TOOLS FOR STUDENTS
Have students create an infograph! Or create one yourself for a lesson. It’s easy and has a million possibilities and can be shared on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and even Pinterest! Here’s the one I created.
