Top Five Tools

March Madness Bracket Created Using Kami
 

My Top Five Tools:

  1. This is so boring but I love Google Workspace. It's tried and true. Plus, I found that during my exploration 50% (estimated) of the tools I wanted to use were blocked by my district!
  2. My second favorite tool is Padlet. Padlet has so many uses, the possibilities are endless! Well, only if you have the paid account...But seriously, I use it to post the notebook prompts for my students to refer back to if they're absent, I use it for students to complete a virtual KWL chart, and some of my students use it in place of notebook. These are just some ideas!
  3. Sora is the best. I know people love Libby but my students can use their BPL card to access multiple libraries. This is especially helpful for students looking for audiobooks which seem to be more and more popular.
  4. I've had fun playing around with Kami. They have tons of templates and I like all of the accessibility features that students can use. Plus, it syncs up with Google Classroom.
  5. Pixton is actually tied with Kami. This site is so fun for creating avatars but can also be used more in depth for storytelling. I think it's pretty user friendly!
Not at all what I had in mind but this image was created using Nightcafe and the prompt,
"battle of Google and other online applications or tools."
I wish AI could just see the image I have in mind...wait...maybe not!

Funnily enough, while I was reading Parable of the Talents (also not really a beach read…), the main character mentions cataloging! I couldn’t get over it. I couldn’t escape cataloging!   “So later in the day, Marc found me sitting with Channa Ryan, sorting and cataloging books. We’re always behind in that, and it needs to be done…Still, cataloging is tedious. I was almost glad when Marc came and interrupted my work” (Butler 146). Most of this week’s content felt completely over my head which was frustrating. I thought I might like trying out the exercises, like a fun little sudoku puzzle. They were not fun and I didn’t like them!   I did feel relieved to see that my classmates had similar feelings about this topic and that even Kaplan describes cataloging as “thorny.” My fingers are crossed that intricacies of cataloging will eventually make more sense to m...
