This semester I took a technology course through the University of Alaska Southeast. I was introduced to MANY wonderful technology tools for teachers and students. Knowledge is no good if it is not shared, so... here you go! As with many "new" things, I would encourage you to take the time to explore the sites so that you can get a feel for them. If you choose to introduce any of them to your students, I would also suggest giving them time to explore them, as well (prior to using them for any official projects or assignments). Enjoy!
Conversations in the Cloud This site is called VoiceThread. It is GREAT for giving interactive feedback. I have a professor that has used it to use narration when giving feedback to our work.
Create Your Own Rubrics This site is RubiStar.com. If you are looking for rubric generators, this is a fantastic tool!
Digital Story Books This site is Storybird.com. I used it with young elementary students to create and publish their own stories. The site has a large library of graphics so that students can choose from the options and create a story around the pictures they choose.
Wordle This site is Wordle.net. If you are interested in making posters based on key vocabulary words (or having your students do this), definitely check this one out!
Prezi This site is prezi.com. It is similar to using PowerPoint, though it is a bit more interactive. Great tool for presentations.
Socrative: Student Response Systems This site is socrative.com. It can be used as a way to interactively engage students in responding in class via games and exercises.
Quizlet: A Study Tool Quizlet.com is wonderful for studying. The flashcard feature is by far one of my favorites!
The following site includes some of my favorites that I mentioned above, and more!
50 Education Tech Tools: Edudemic.com
