Evernote and Skitch

Evernote and Skitch are two great free programs to use for diagraming. I used Skitch this week to take a picture of my flower containers. I then labeled each picture with the plants I put in the containers. I am very excited about having a labeled picture gardening journal. My Skitch pictures were then saved into Evernote so I will have them in the future.

I began to think of the possibilities for Skitch and Evernote in the classroom. Student journaling, mini lessons and diagraming. Check out Skitch. It is a wonderful program made for the iPad, iPhone, and Droid.

Symbaloo

I was recently reading an article about the flipped classroom. One tool students used to organize their web tools was Symbaloo. Symbaloo is a free web service that allows you to organize websites. Symbaloo can be used on many mobile devices. I added Symbaloo to my iPad and my Droid.

World Wonder Project

I happen to be reading Cool Cat Teacher Blog this morning and ran across a new site that looks very interesting. Google has made the World Wonder Project that consists of 132 different locations around the world. Each locations has pictures, videos and information. There are also teacher guides for elementary and secondary. This site does work on an iPad, however the 3D model will not show up on an iPad. I found Independence Hall to be interesting and is part of our curriculum.
