Six Great Technology Tools for Teachers

1. AutoDraw
AutoDraw is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to guess what you’re trying to draw. You start with a blank screen, begin sketching something, and AutoDraw gives you a strip of professionally illustrated images to choose from, based on what the tool thinks you’re trying to draw.

2. Book Creator
Book Creator is a beautiful, flexible tool that allows students of any age or skill level to create, publish, and share online books.

3. NewseumED
Produced by Newseum, a news museum located in Washington, D.C., NewseumED houses an incredible online collection of primary sources, news artifacts, and lessons.

4. Flipgrid
Flipgrid is an app where a teacher, poses a question or prompt, and students respond to it with short videos. Once they’ve finished their video, they can leave responses to other students’ videos.

5. Insert Learning
With this tool, you can basically take any page on the Internet and turn it into a lesson.

6. Sway
A little over two years ago, Microsoft introduced Sway, it is more dynamic than power point and gives you dynamic, almost cinematic presentations that have the feel of an up to date website.
