The Kids

Sign Generator

Sign Generator also a pretty fun tool my middle school students can have fun playing with. They can play with symbolism and can critique their artwork. This allows students to express their artistic capability even though they may not be able to create artwork using a paper and crayons mode. I really enjoy the freedom that technology gives our students and the outside of the box thinking that happens with teachers as well.

Spell City

Spell City will come in handy for my ELD intervention students. They really struggle with written language and do not have an appropriate spelling level for their age. This is a group that lacks motivation. I know that using computers and working on their spelling will motivate my struggling students.

Animoto

I have to say that creating a video through Animoto was a lot easier than I anticipated. It was very user friendly and only 3 easy steps. I can totally see my students including this into future projects. This allows for creativity without it being so overwhelming to new emerging technological users. Myself included. Now that I have done it, I can't wait to share it with my students. I can see my low motivated students become engaged with this tool and maybe inspire them to write.
