After looking over the various categories I saw many apps that I was familiar with as well as a few new ones. I often have used Edmodo when we participate in the Global Read Aloud. It is a great tool to connect with other educators and classes. I have not, yet, used it in my own classroom as a form of communication.
Padlet is a great tool for formative assessments. I like to put a question up and have the students take a few moments to jot their thoughts down as they get settled in the room.
Animaker is a new one that I am excited to try out this year. I love to have a variety of ways that students can respond and share their learning. This tool will be perfect, especially since it is free for a 2 minute video.
Kahoot for critical thinking is a great tool. It is very engaging as long as it is not overused. The competition adds a little excitement to whatever we are doing. Kids have now begun creating their own as part of their presentations.
Google Drive is something I cannot live without. This tool is everything in our school (district). We use it constantly. Teaching the kids how to organize their files in a simple way is key to making the tool a success.
