I was excited when I looked at the list of possible tools to try out for this lesson. I had actually already used some of them!!! Hooray!
I have created a few Vokis on my webpages, sometimes as a general message to students, but I have also used them as virtual booktalks for students to check out!
Another tool I already use (and love dearly) is prezi. My 5th graders LOVE using prezi to create their state travel presentations. I believe it might be the zooming.
I have also tinkered with voicethread, and honestly was never that impressed. However, I did showcase it to my foreign language teachers who thought it had a lot of potential for verbals.
One of my teachers showed me Educreations. It was one of the tools mentioned in this blog post in our resources. (Great blog, by the way, I added it to my followed blogs). She uses it as reinforcement for students needing extra help at home, or if a student missed certain lessons. It was very easy to create an account, and I created a class so I could play. You can also search already created lessons, which is great to view some examples!
Finally, for this blog post, I settled on Haiku Deck (well, last week WAS National Haiku Poetry Day after all). I created a short presentation (with some bad Haiku poetry) just to get the hang of it. I love it. I will definitely be incorporating it with classes. The IPAD app is so easy to use!
