Jennifer Gonzalez posted way back in 2015 about tools to help students follow their passions. These "passion tools" (as she calls them), help students take their passions and talent to a whole new level. Passion tools help students develop and share their passions in the same way a professional would. Mrs. Gonzalez groups the tech tools into categories based on how they are used. Here is the list of "passion tools" (click on the name to go to the website):
Book Publishing
Video Production
Podcasting
Image Making
Video Sharing
Blogging and Website Building
Screencasting
Photo Editing
I have used Powtoon for EDUG 647 and it is very easy to create engaging and effective presentations. If you have used any of these tools, let me know how it went!
I love that you included a list of different tools that can be used for various things. While looking over the list I realized I don't use a lot of the tools that are available. I have used things like wordpress, picmonkey, wix, and blogger but all for personal use and not implementing in the classroom. I am eager to look at some of the sites you have listed.
ReplyDeleteLove that you made this easily accessible for us. I will definitely be referring to this list for some of the end of the year projects I have planned for my kids to try out.
