GoAnimate and Pocketmod
During my daily travels on the web and through edtech journals, I am always finding new tools (I especially like the free ones…). Then I try to figure out which teacher can best use the new thing and come up with some ideas. Recently I sent the link to GoAnimate to our middle school TAG teacher. Her students loved it! They have created historical and political animations. One grade used it to create recycling commercials.
Another tool I ran across and passed along to a lot of teachers was Pocketmod. It calls itself the free, recylable personal organizer, but I saw it as a wonderul way to make pocket-sized study guides. The TAG students used it to create storybooks for kindergarden and first grade students. A sixth grade science class used it to create study sheets for their benchmark exams.
