Greetings!!! The season of Summer is quickly approaching!!! This is another "Summer Edition" of the Fabulous Friday Technology Tip (F2 T2) that shares technology tools and resources that can be utilized at home, after school and summer programs.

The first resource is an iOS app entitled Bubbli. This resource allows you to create 360 panoramic bubbles of the sights and sounds of places you visit that others can explore by clicking on a shared link.
 The second resources are Web 2.0 tools for creating video games. YoYo Games is a free site that allows aspiring game makers to design and build their own video game using a free download. Sploder is a website that allows you to create your game right on the website.

The third resource is ReadWriteThink which creates a lot of great educational resources. Students can create a booklet, flyer, brochure or newspaper fairly easily. There is a nice guide that walks you through the process, and the focus is on writing.
