Drumroll, please! The final S’Cool Tools countdown, based entirely on your clicks!
Beth Dichter's insight:
Here is the list of the top ten "S'cool Tools" for 2013 from EdSurge. Last week I scooped the tools from 11 - 20. Once again there is a range of tools and they are all free. Three are detailed below but you may view information on all ten in the post. Have fun exploring! * Mathigon is an amazing math resource with videos, slideshows, e-books, apps and more. Resources are available for primary and secondary students. * Google Treks - Are you looking for lesson plans based on Google Maps? If so check out Google Treks. Lesson plans are across the curriculum and all use Google Maps so the concept of geographic location is involved. If you want to create your own Trek there is a tutorial and a rubric to help you out. * NuSkool uses "popular culture to enhance learning both inside and outside the classroom." Geared to students in grades 6 - 12 you may search for by grade, subject and genre. Genres include music, film, television, video games, sports, social networking and popular culture. Select your grade level, subject and genre and you will find a choice of lesson plans that include the media, a description of the lesson, procedures and assessments.

I've used some of them. How many have you used? |
Who better than Visual.ly to share 7 online tools that will help you create visual, be they simple images, infographics or a mind map. This post shares the following tools:
* Canva - a free tool
* Pixlr - a free tool
* PicMonkey - a free tool, but you may pay for additional tools
* Quozio - free tool
* Share As Image - a free tool, but will show a watermark; pay for no watermark
* Skitch - free through Evernote
* Coggle - free tool that allows you to create mind maps
Visuals are a key part of learning. These seven tools provide a range of options that you may want to use when designing materials for your classes (or perhaps students would find use for them in your class).
