Three Educational Technologies for DI• Edpuzzle• https://edpuzzle.com/• Teachers start by uploading a video and then crop the video, insert audio and

record their voice. You can also embed quiz questions through out.

• Screencast-o-matichttp://www.screencast-o-matic.com/• Teachers and student can take their PowerPoint Presentations and turn them

into a podcast. Simple tool to use and easy to share.

Classroom Management•Classroom Dojo• https://www.classdojo.com/• “ClassDojo is the easiest way for teachers to encourage students and share

their best moments with parents.” In my opinion if you are going to integrate one new tool to start the school year off, then Classroom Dojo is the right one for you. Also, follow them on twitter, for lots of additional resources.

Technology – The World of Google

• Google Classroom - https://plus.google.com/+Googleclassrooms/posts• Classroom is available to anyone with Google Apps for Education, a free suite of

productivity tools including Gmail, Docs, and Drive.• Classroom is designed to help teachers create and collect assignments

paperlessly, including time-saving features like the ability to automatically make a copy of a Google document for each student. It also creates Drive folders for each assignment and for each student to help keep everyone organized.• Students can keep track of what’s due on the Assignments page and begin

working with just a click. Teachers can quickly see who has or hasn't completed the work, and provide direct, real-time feedback and grades right in Classroom.
