Dropbox is a really nice tool for allowing teachers to share resources in a common digital location that is stored on the cloud. I have seen this used really effectively between PLC’s and it is nice to have a backup copy of materials that is not attached to a hard drive.

I think this is a really cool way of presenting information in a different way to students. These presentations are very aesthetically pleasing and engaging to watch. Powerpoint is a good way of relaying information to students, and prezi does very similar things but in a completely different and exciting format.
Docs.Google.com
Google Docs is something that I have learned about through this program and I have become so reliant on it and amazed at all the things you can do with it. It is nice to always be able to access your documents with internet connection and is perfect to encourage collaboration among peers. As a teacher you can share documents easily with all your students, or you can monitor their own progress on documents that are shared with you.

This is a website that one of mentor teachers shared with me and it a great place to find all kinds of resources, templates, activities, or ideas. One of the sections has all of the resources together, there’s a section specifically for videos, but there is also “popular posts.” I like to look through these to see what other people are talking about or looking into which allows me to at least try and keep up with the ever evolving world of technology.
