Fabulous Friday Technology Tip-Volume 4:4th edition



Congratulations!!  A Frigid December Friday is here!
Greetings!! This is the “4th edition" of the Fabulous Friday Technology Tip (F2 T2) for this schoolyear that shares technology tools and resources that can be integrated into your daily lessons, unit plans and classroom centers. These online resources can be used before, during, and after a daily lesson or semester-long unit. 

Ø Today's first tip is the resource Rewordify. http://rewordify.com/ Rewordify.com simplifies difficult English. Enter hard sentences (or whole chapters) into the yellow box at the top of the page. (You can also enter a web site URL.) Click Rewordify text and you'll instantly see an easier version, for fast understanding.

Ø  Today's second tip is a resource from Knight Lab at Northwestern University (https://knightlab.northwestern.edu/)  Northwestern University Knight Lab is a community of designers, developers, students, and educators working on experiments designed to push journalism into new spaces. They develop free online prototypes of tools for reporting, data management, research, and storytelling. Some of the tools include timelines, story maps and much, much more. 

If you would like assistance with using Google Classroom and the tools within Google, please email me ASAP! There are several opportunities to flip your classroom and fully utilize the technology located in your school.
