Edpuzzle, because it helped me to watch a video with my students and answer questions of value! Sometimes, students miss out on great information because they are distracted by something else in the video or it goes too fast! I have also used Edpuzzle in conjunction with Youtube! There are read aloud on youtube and in order to have an engaged classroom, I would make sure to use Edpuzzle!
Here is an example!
Youtube, because I have always found something on there for my kiddos! Either it is a brain break or video about everything that I want to talk about! Great tool, if used wisely and succinctly! There are filters you can use to find the video you need!
Blendspace was a great discovery! I have been teaching virtually for two months now, I would like to use Blendspace as a way for my students to finish all their tasks without getting distracted or having to create anything. Blendspace is a great tool for me when I will do small groups and need my students working on a specific skill and using more than one tool!
Here is an example!
Screecastomatic is a great tool for me as a teacher to make How To videos for my students! There are time when they simply don’t understand how to do things, and this is a great tool to help them see exactly what I would like them to do. Also, this tool was a live saver when I had to stay home and there was no sub! I made a Screencastomatic video and greeted my students and set them up for the day!

This is my very first podcast! It is for parents of the students during remote learning and are looking for some structure in their lives. These three tips are something I have used in my career as a teacher and that has proven to change my classroom management.

This is a student paced Nearpod! Where I have created slides and activites for them to practice capitalizing their nouns. Don't forget the code: 93685
Thinglink was a life saver for me! We had no substitute and needed students to still continue their work for the day! I used Thinglink to have all their "To-Do" items in one place!
Here is an example!
