TCC 4-5 Cindy's Links

This is a feature of each issue of the Tech Cadre Corner newsletter. Sometimes there is a theme, but this isn't one of them.
  • Classroom Architect: Before you move furniture use this site to plan where it will go. It allows you to customize room size. This is the same group who gave us Rubistar for rubrics.
  • Book Adventure is a Sylvan Learning free reading site for teachers, parents, and kids. I found it looking for summer options.
  • Sentence Maker is an app  with 50 sentence possibilities. This is  the link to iTunes for a description.
  •  Instagram is the new Facebook for students. The link is to an educator’s guide blog post. This social media site is strong on photos.
  • Cel.ly is another group texting tool. It has some features that Remind101 did not have initially, but they are also adding useful things.
  • Board Builder Tool Within our SCStreamline  has a Builder Toolstab. This section now has the poster making feature linked here.
  • ThingLink lets you put links on photos/infographics. There are teacher and student accounts. There is a link to an example in the  Inforgraphic article on the next page (bottom right).
  • A blog entry on Infographic tools at EducatorsTechnology.com which features 8 tools mentioned in the last article.
  • Edudemic has 10 tools.
Enjoy!
