Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week,
thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we must keep up to date concerning
research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some
of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you
for coming by and visiting!

Declaration of Independence – “This is an experimental
edition of the Declaration of Independence that combines a high-resolution scan of the 1823 facsimile with (1) a
full-text transcription of the text, (2) an annotated version
of John Trumbull's 1819 painting of the signing of the document,
and (3) an interactive map that plots the signers' hometowns on
a Mapbox base
layer.” (L:G; SA:SS )
Toony Tool
– “is a free online cartoon maker and comic creator tool: Create and share your
own cartoons, comics and memes online for free. Choose a background or upload
your own background. Add your own or our characters en choose from our text
clouds. You can also add Meme texts or props. Download, print or email the
resulting cartoon or save it online and share it on Facebook, Twitter or
Google+.” (L:G; SA:A )
Unio
– “Combine your existing resources with clever software tools to open up new,
interactive learning experiences for your students. See your annotations and
comments populate your students’ screens in real time. Let students make their
own annotations to revise or create a digital learning journal. Encourage student-centered
learning by ‘desyncing’ and letting them set their own pace. Use quizzes
and polls to assess student understanding throughout the lesson. Ease
your workload with quiz-results that auto populate in real time,
giving you instant insight. Display and analyse student performance in a
variety of ways, as well as downloading them. Use the class overview to
monitor students’ work in real-time, and easily evaluate their
progression. Give students quick feedback on specific topics with
icon-based reactions and direct messages. Drill down with 1:1
teaching by taking control over students’ screens and give targeted
support. (L:T; SA:A )
iMendi – “Imendi
is free application that lets you practice flashcards of foreign languages.
Pick the language you want to practice and start answering flashcards.” (L:G;

Workbench
