1.  popplet.com
      
     Today's first shared link features an interesting web tool with several potential classroom applications.
      Users add photos, text boxes, and so forth to the work area. This work area has the potential to     
      become the basis for a presentation with zooming effects similar to prezi.com, but also allows for
      flow charting, audio, and more. See examples at the site.

2.  storybird.com

     This little web tool could be fun for personal use if you have young children, or could serve as the 
     basis for a classroom project for early childhood education students. The free application provides
     graphic images in the style of a child's picture book. You add the text. The books are printable and
     may be viewed on a variety of devices.


3.     Student Success

Learner analytics is a hot topic in higher education right now. This article examines two case studies in a university setting.
       


4.    Geometric Shapes

These geometric shapes are in a printable .pdf document and include cutting and fold lines for constructing a 3-D geometric shape. Follow this link to download a copy.

            Today we have some new links for a new school year. Check them out!

            Word Clouds

            Word clouds are mostly for fun, but a creative instructor might use one to briefly emphasize  new vocabulary words or key concepts in a lesson. They can also be useful as illustrations or images to add visual interest. Wordle brought us the first web tool for creating word clouds, but tagxedo.com allows the creator to make a shaped word cloud. Click on the links below to locate these tools.

            Student Presentation Tool


            Do you want to stress the importance of primary documents as a source of information in a history course? Perhaps you'd like students to collect examples of art for an art history or humanities class. Here's a neat little application that allows students to place documents and images into an interactive grid called a "museum box" for presentation.
