Digital Literacy

I am familiar with some of these resources because we already use them.  We use google drive which is a great place to keep files and collaborate with other teachers and students.  LinoIt is a great site to use for research papers to create note cards and source cards.  

I really like the idea behind Think Binder.  I would like to use that with the students more.  As a special education teacher, many of my students are not good at studying or taking notes.  This would be a valuable resource for them.  I would like to integrate this into my study skills lessons.  

In 10th grade, students do an advertising unit where they create their own radio, newspaper, and TV ads for a specific product or school class or activity.  Many of the tools on the creativity page would be helpful.  Students could use voicethread or audacity to create radio ads.  I believe both of these tools allow for editing.  Students could use Zimmer twins to create a TV ad.  

I have also used google drive, its a great resource especially for teachers.  We have also used it in our family.  Its a good resource if you can use it to it's fullest abilities.
