- Lisa Today’s Meet is a great site to use as a back-channel or side conversation during instruction, meetings, or even with huge crowds during a conference. The livestream conversation can be used with as small as a handful and as large as 400. The audience can use Today’s Meet to share resources, ask questions, and deepen the discussion. Keep in mind that if you are presenting with a powerpoint on a projector, you will need an additional screen, computer, and projector for maximum capabilities to enhance your presentation and discussion. If presenting as a team, we suggest having one person monitor the Today’s Meet while others are presenting.
- Lisa LinkedIn has always been marketed to the non-educational, “business” world growing expanse of groups and connectivity, more education leaders are using it think social networking for professionals has 164 million users and that number grows significantly daily we recommend you use it, not to connect with others, but to access information, resources, and support from a national and international audience. GROUPS area Great for HR folks in districts
- Devin took some time to resonate in the educational world visually-rich social site with women’s attire, crafting, or food recipes, there are an emerging array of applications for school leaders for example, a number of “boards” have been created that assemble useful resources that are easy to navigate and “re-pin” for future access one of our favorites is the ASCD site ( http://pinterest.com/officialascd/ ) that includes boards on professional development, common core state standards, and other high-impact topics.

- Lisa the Facebook of education most robust use comes out of the set-up for classrooms or as a professional development meeting place secure site that can be used with students Teachers can set up an entire class where students are able to participate in discussions, take quizzes, respond to polls and receive assignment reminders. Its versatility means adults can use it as a meeting space to share handouts and maintain ongoing conversations. Edmodo is now available as iOs and Android apps, easily accessible on smartphones, tablets, and computers.
- Lisa a computer and iPad application that allows for the creation of screencast tutorials students designing their own Khan Academy-type videos. EduCreations a recordable whiteboard where users can record and re-record their explanations with drawing that can be done directly on the screen and easily saved to be shared with others easy enough for a kindergartener to explain how to add 2+2 and robust enough for the biology teacher to discuss cell mitosis and meiosis this site is a “must” see and has caught on with educators worldwide, with more than 100,000 active users in its first year of existence.
- Devin Wolfram Alpha is the most amazing website for mathematics and data analysis. According to the site, they have over 50,000 pre-built algorithms and more than 5,000 visualization tools to display data. In addition, the “computational search engine” provides access to to over 10 trillion pieces of data from primary sources such as population databases, public health records, and even educational achievement results. The combination of data sources, algorithms, and display options make this a veritable playground for those that love numbers and data. While the foundation of Wolfram Alpha is web-based, they have also launched a number of apps--including “course assistants” for calculus, algebra, and other topics. For the unititiated, start with the website tour and prepare to be impressed.
