Canva https://www.canva.com/
"Canva is a design tool that allows the user to create everything from flyers to brochures to worksheets. When I first used Canva, it took a little bit of practice to get adjusted to the tools that were at hand; however, once I gained more experience, I was able to easily understand how to use each tool. - Emory"
Glogster https://edu.glogster.com/
"It has you make posters for any subject and make them visually appealing. This can help kids to understand problems and subjects better while also getting a better understanding of technology. - Grace"
"Glogster can be very useful in classrooms for several different projects and allows students to utilize technology and the resources available to them to be creative and express themselves. - Peyton"
"Glogster is a webpage that is a digital poster that can be used to display media such as text, images, videos, and other visually interesting aspects to enhance the experience of what could have been a boring project to watch and design. - Claire"
Storybird https://storybird.com
"This is a site where children and adults can write picture books as well as create more advanced stories. It is easy to use and has pictures that children can use as templates and then they can move words over the picture, similar to a picture book. - Taylor"
Linoit http://en.linoit.com/
"It is set up as bulletin board where you post “stickies” that look like Post-It notes and on that stickie, you can type whatever message you want or add a link. I think this would be useful in a classroom setting because it is colorful and social which would catch students attention but can also be a useful tool for students and teachers to communicate in a healthy environment. - Faith"
Flickr https://www.flickr.com/
"Flickr is one that I'd like to use to add some flare to the lessons. It is a platform that focuses around pictures and is often used as a way to share photos without posting them to each social media account a person has. - Raul"
YouTube http://www.youtube.com
"It is very convenient when searching for content. It also covers a lot of different videos and they all differ. - Logan"
"Teachers in my high school used Youtube all the time in lesson plans. - Kayla"
"This is beneficial to my students because they will be able to see me and hear my voice to learn lessons that I post on Youtube. - Aneli"
"Every minute someone is uploading a video on things like tutorials, their thoughts, or even academic lessons. Academic lessons is what I would use from YouTube to teach. - Sara"
Skype https://www.skype.com
"Skype is a tool that you can video and live chat with one another. I think this would be so helpful if I could not make it to class, then I would still be able to give my students the lectures. - Kaylee"
"I've used it a lot in my personal life, but I think it would be perfect for the classroom. As a teacher I could get guest speakers from all over the world to come and talk to my classes, without having to worry about flights and hotel rooms! - Story"
"Within the classroom I can see its value for broadening the classroom for students who can't always be there, or to bring a guest to class without having to physically have them come give a talk to the class. - Colin"
Edmodo http://www.edmodo.com
"Edmodo was also used so that if the students had any questions we could easily get in contact with the professor as well as fellow classmates. - Jordyn"
Google+ https://plus.google.com/discover
"It's a solid social media like tool that's good for sharing articles with a group and commenting on others' posts. I used it in high school during a project with the class and it was easy to use and collaborate on. - Cassie"
