Recently Simple K12 released their list of the best free classroom web tools for 2011. I am attaching their free e-book "Hidden Webtools: 11 Tools for 2011". With so many resources available on the internet it is nice to have someone else investigate their usefulness. Please let me know if you have already tried some of these tools or if you would like support finding ways to incorporate them into your curriculum. I look forward to reading your comments!

I love using typewith.me in my Spanish classes. The students really enjoy using it and get a lot of Spanish practice in!
ReplyDeleteGreat educational use! I have used a similar tool called ietherpad. One of the neat features of ietherpad is that you can password protect your pad or create usernames and passwords for your students so that you always know who is contributing. Both tools are great ways to provide opportunities for students to collaborate while learning the curriculum. Thanks for sharing!
