Iam a preschool teacher and I found a lot of helpful applications and websites that would still be applicable for my students. Under the category of communication, I would use the application, "Little Bird Tales." I thought this app would be perfect for preschool! I would have my students listen to e-books and use the drawing feature. I would also have my class work on a collaborative alphabet book. Under the collaborative category, I would take advantage of Google Drive. I would share lesson plans and data with my co-teachers. My students could use the speech to text feature and retell a familiar story or discuss a event that has happened to them. Under the creativity section, I loved the EduCreatiions whiteboard. I thought the students could active writing letters,numbers, or writing the name while using the app. It reminded me of a smart board tool that several schools have access to; however, my school does not have the funds for one. The EduCreations whiteboard would be a great alternative to use in the classroom. Under the category of critical thinking, I loved the Bubblius and graph analysis. We would brainstorm ideas as a class when using Bubblius. We could create a KWL (What I know, What I need to know, and What I learned) as well. We could also use the graph analysis website to create bar graphs when comparing data in class. I love using graphs to help strengthen my students's math skills. I also loved the apps and website discussed under the area of organization. I thought Teacher Tube was a useful website. I could use Teacher Tube to show videos and photos on a topic we were discussing in class. Using visuals, such as, videos and photos help deepen my student's comprehension on a topic. I also love using Pinterest to create ideas for lessons. My students could use Pinterest to pin words that begin with a letter of the alphabet. For my personal and professional life, I also loved the website Delicious for bookmarking several sites I find on the Internet and having the capabilites to categories them into sections for easy assess.
