Online tools for educators

October 14 LCS Faculty Workshop

GOAL: To discover online tools which will enable you to 'go paperless' in your classroom while providing engaging ways for your students to take tests and hand in assignments.

Links!


Classmarker.com - Create and administer online quizzes and tests for students of all grade levels.

Google.docs - An easy way to store and share documents, presentations, and other file types.

Blogspot - Communicate with students online and provide a forum for students to actively participate in discussions. Post questions and read/respond to student comments.

The databases! Please see the bookmark of passwords to log in to the Laurens databases. Visit the library's website for links to all databases.

Also...have you heard about youtube for teachers? Youtube has created a teacher channel which contains curated video lists which are suitable for teachers to use. There are many useful videos and uses for youtube in the classroom - check it out!

Please let me know what you would like to get out of this workshop. Is there anything you would like to see covered in-depth or questions you have which are not part of the pre-selected topics? Please let me know by posting a comment. You do not need to sign your real name. Thank you!

  3. I am interested in the TeacherTube as it will filter out the nonsense. However, sometimes the selection is extremely limited.

  4. I'd like be able to write passes in the blog. Besides that, I think it would be great to have students write without having to use paper. I'd like to be able to create online tests as well so that Mrs. Hall will like me again.
