Welcome to my Portfolio of classroom technology resources I have learned about in my college course, Technology in Education. Over this course, we learned about a variety of online platforms that can be used by teachers to support student learning. This course taught me that there are so many different ways we can use the internet to educate students in fun, engaging ways. Below are a few resources that I enjoyed learning about and wanted to highlight. I encourage you to check them out, as well as the other online platforms within my portfolio. Happy learning/teaching!
Google Sites: If you’re looking for a place to keep all resources, activities, and extra links for a lesson or unit, this is a great tool! You can create your own site with as many pages, links, activities, etc. as you see fit for your classroom. Perfect for schools that use Google accounts for students.
Book Creator: A great tool for your students to showcase what they’ve been learning by creating their own project. It can be as short or long as you want — you can decide the guidelines for your students! It’s super easy for them to make it their own, and has a search feature for them to find images if needed.
Google Forms: Another great resource that’s perfect for if your school uses Google accounts. This resource is easy to use, with different features like grading with points you input, anonymous responses, and an image search. Whether you want students to do an assessment or a daily check-in, this platform is a great way to engage students and collect data online.
