Which
3 apps and 3 extensions did you install? What do you think of them?
The three apps I picked were Lego builder (to use for when we
teach structures), Translate language (to use anytime as a translation tool for
the many languages in the classroom), and the last is istorybooks (to add to
our resources that we read as a class or independently.)
For extensions, I will experiment with HD (high definition for
youtube because it won’t hurt to have quality videos), My Scrap Nook (because I
love creating scrapbooks using all sorts of image makers) and the No Ads (it
removes unwanted pop up adds).
Which
do you recommend for teachers? For students? Will you remove any? I would recommend Translate (although most teachers have that
on IPads) and Pinterest for teachers to use a resource for supporting lessons.
I can’t recommend these new apps or extension since they are work in progress.
If
you have already been using Chrome apps and extensions, do you have any
favorites that you wouldn't want to live without? Gmail,
Facebook, Skype, Pinterest
I commented on the blogs of Sue Kidder (ES) and TJB (HS). All aboard, Alicia!
LegoBuilder sounds interesting! We're learning about structures as well in Grade 9, and this sounds like a good way to help students understand the concepts. Thanks for the recommendation :)
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the Legos app and the recognition that it doesn't just have to be useful for younger kids! Thanks for the idea.
