Technology+in+the+Classroom

Class Connect allows you to do everything in one place! Make assignments and have students upload them to you. You can get notifications by email or by text. Record lectures for students who were absent! They can access them from home. http://www.classconnect.com/app/login.cc

Titan pad allows you to have a document that students can work on all at once. Have 2 students, 4 students, or a whole classroom add to the document in real time: http://titanpad.com/JqPelmBLrw


 * Teaching Idea:** Use titan to have students brainstorm a list of words at the beginning of class that apply to one subject. Then put all of the words into worlde and create a work of art based on their words. Have them perform the same activity at the end of the class period and see how they've grown!

Many Eyes allows you to construct visualizations (which so many of us visual learners need)! You can make everything from a map of the United States to a word splash (see Wordle) or a line graph! http://www-958.ibm.com/software/data/cognos/manyeyes/
