IdeaBoardz is an easy-to-use a collaborative whiteboard created for brainstorming and sharing ideas. Instead of starting with a blank board and adding information, IdeaBoardz provides several options for creating boards from templates. Choose to create a board, add a name and description to begin. Use the dropdown box to select the type of board from choices such as pro and con or creating from up to ten sections. Next, share your board using the URL provided. Finally, participants select the plus sign located next to a heading to add a sticky note and type comments. Registration is not required; however, creating an account allows participants to revisit saved boards.

tag(s): collaboration (85), graphic organizers (48), iwb (31)

In the Classroom

Use IdeaBoardz as an engaging way to brainstorm ideas, share student comments related to any classroom conversations, or as a tool for exit tickets. For example, use the two-column option as a schema activator when introducing a new lesson. Create a column for students to share what they know and another column for sharing what additional support is needed. Include a link to your collaborative board on your class webpage for students to view and add items as desired. Share with students to create boards for use with their presentations. Use the multi-columns to organize information by topics. For example, for book reports, create a board with columns for setting, character, theme, etc.

Design and share high-quality comic strips using the many free templates from Canva's Comic Strip Templates. Choose from numerous colorful designs in various formats, including single strips or comics with multiple frames. Begin by clicking Create and using the dropdown box to find free templates for comics, narrow choices by color if desired. After selecting a template, choose the link to customize. Each template includes several pages that form a complete cartoon, a blank frame, and illustration sets to enter with your design. The share option offers the ability to share creations with others and allow them to edit the comic. When complete, download your finished cartoon to your device as a PDF file or PDF, JPG, or GIF image.

tag(s): comics and cartoons (54), graphic design (50)

In the Classroom

Engage students by using the templates to display the day's vocabulary word, the math puzzle of the week, a concept your students are learning in social studies or science as an example. Have students create comic strips for dialog-writing lessons, summarizing, predicting, and retelling stories. Use comic strips for literature responses. For pre-reading students, create a comic of pictures and tell the story based on the pictures/scenes. It's a good idea to require students to create a rough draft of their comic using Printable Comic Strip Templates, reviewed here. Make a class book of the comics created throughout the year. That book is likely to become a class favorite! Use comics to show sequencing of events. When studying characterization, create a dialog to show (not tell) about a character. World language and ENL/ESL teachers can assign students to create dialog strips as an alternate to a traditional assessment. Have students share all of their comics on your interactive whiteboard or projector.

Imagine creating visually appealing charts and embedding them into virtually any document you want. Charttt makes that happen. Use the free chart-making tool to present data in nine different formats, then edit your chart to change colors, dimensions, title size and position, and more. Select "Create" to begin, then use the site's dashboard to select the type of chart and edit features such as size and colors. Tip: start by creating a bar chart to enter information easily, then change to your desired type of chart. When finished, select the "Use" icon to find sharing options, including URLs to embed as a link or image, download as a PNG image, or create a shareable card. Registration isn't required; however, it allows you to save charts for later use.

tag(s): charts and graphs (168), data (146), images (270)

In the Classroom

Take advantage of the flexible features of this tool to use when collecting and sharing data or when teaching about charts and graphs. For younger students, enter data together to view charts in simple formats such as bar graphs and pie charts to compare and contrast the different features. Use Charttt to create a visual display when collecting data. For example, begin using this tool by polling your class to find out their favorite type of pizza and then enter the data to create a graph to share on your class website. Use the same data in all three included formats to compare and contrast how the information looks based on the type of chart used. Take this same information and have students calculate the percentages and create charts to compare and contrast this information with your original images. Once you and your students are familiar with adding data on the site, use it to enhance student learning by including links within your presentations for students to evaluate and to visualize any data. Create charts to document student reading logs, the amount of time spent on homework, or time spent on community service. Have students include a link or chart image when annotating images using Google Drawings, reviewed here, or within presentations created with tools such as Sway, reviewed here.

Learn about animals of the Antarctic with printable trading cards. This four-page set includes facts and information about twelve inhabitants of the Antarctic. Follow the directions to print the set in color, fold, glue, and cut to create the trading cards.

tag(s): animals (278), antarctica (28), flash cards (42), habitats (87)

In the Classroom

Engage students in learning about animals of the Antarctic with these brightly-colored trading cards. Provide a set of cards to different groups of students and create their games based on the facts. For example, have students find the animals with the longest life span, largest or smallest weight, or longest length. Enhance student learning by introducing the TeachersFirst Reading Trek, Mr. Popper's Penguins, reviewed here. Use the trade book, Mr. Popper's Penguins, and the Reading Trek, which includes a virtual field trip of resources that takes students on a learning adventure to the South Pole. Extend learning further by asking students to create interactive images sharing new information learned about the Antarctic. Use the free tools found at Genially, reviewed here, to design interactive images that include links to text, websites, or videos using a Genially template or starting from scratch. Use images found on Unsplash, reviewed here, also search within Genially, or find additional free images at Pixabay, reviewed here, and make sure to provide proper attribution.

tag(s): chat (42), communication (136), parent conferences (24), professional development (388), remote learning (61)

In the Classroom

Use Gatheround as a back-to-school activity when teaching remotely for small groups of students and you to get to know one another. Set up professional development sessions with peers that take advantage of the templates and cards found in the application. Use Gatheround to set up virtual parent/teacher conferences with participants located anywhere in the world. This tool is especially useful when multiple teachers are involved or when parents may not reside in the same location. Connect small groups in classrooms across the country for book clubs. Collaborate with experts such as authors and scientists with classrooms of children. Create connected learning experiences with other students, especially those in older grades. Connect world language classes to classes in other countries. Teachers can hold "office hours" for homework help and asking questions. Create a collaborative space for homework help before or after school or on snow days. Students can meet whenever help is needed, or teachers can create a session that can be accessed on any device easily by those who need it. Use Gatheround for group work - no more excuses about not meeting for cooperative learning projects! Buildings can collaborate and share professional development with others in their own district and beyond!
