Tammy's Favorites

Web Tools - some of my favorites from this list;

- Issuu - for publishing student work online
- Jing - screen capture for PC and Mac
- Skitch - screen capture for Mac
- Magic Pen - great for critical thinking skills. It would work with Simple Machines :-)
-The Newspaper Clipping Generator - Great for period subject teaching... Colonial Days, Civil War and more!
- Picnik - online photo editing program
- Poll Everywhere - text messaging to poll your class or maybe at a faculty meeting
- Random Word Picker - GREAT for choosing students at different times. Can be imbedded into a blog.
- Tiny URL - LOVE this and always have to put this on my favorites lists. It will take a LONG URL and make it shorter. This is GREAT when yoiu have kids doing research to many different sites.
- Wordle - Copy and paste text
- KidsClick! - this site will show you the reading level of the websites you search on a certain subject

Justa reminder - I have a few of Tammy's Lesson Planning books. If you want to borrow one, just let me know. I have different tech subjects... internet, power point and more.
