The top ten tech tools that I could not live without are:
1. iPhone: This phone makes it easy to do just about anything. It is alot more convient to search the web on the iPhone versus having to use a regular computer.
2. Laptop: I could not live without my laptop. Being able to do my school work anywhere instead of being confined to one location (like with a desktop) is great.
3. GPS: I love my GPS!! I love to travel, and this helps me not to get lost. It also tells me the approximate time that I will arrive at my destination.
4. Facebook: Facebook allows me to stay connected with people I went to school with and family that I don't see as often as I would like to. It also allows me to stay up to date with current events.
5. iPad: The iPad makes learning fun in my classroom. My students love using the iPad during centers to plays games or research information. It's also nice because it allows me to have more access to the internet with my students.
6. Email: I use email everyday. It is a quick and easy way to communicate with others. Alot of my communication with my parents is done via email.
7. Pinterest: I LOVE Pinterest!! This is a great website when looking for activities or lesson to do with my students. I also love the recipes, home decorating tips, craft and cleaning ideas, and holiday decorations ideas it offers. I could stay on Pinterest for hours at a time!
8. Bubbl.us: This is a great website that I did not know existed until this class. It makes concept mapping fun and easy. I plan to test it out with my students this year. I believe they will enjoy it.
9. Glogster: This is a neat way to make a presentation. It is very user friendly. This is another site I had never heard of until this class. I plan to make presentations over the summer for next year.
10. Google: Google makes surfing the web so easy! It is the most user friendly search engine I have found!
It sounds like we like the same things! I love Pinterst and find it very relaxing to look at things at the end of a long day!
