50 Ways to Integrate...

Wow! Another long list...  50 Ways to Integrate Technology into your Classroom Tomorrow.  I found list list linked on EdTechToolbox.

50 Ways to Integrate Technology may seem like a lot and overwhelming, but it's worth a glance, you may have already done some of the activities listed on this comprehensive list. A few that I have used...

Spelling City is a fantastic tool for students.  I've used it with 3rd, 4th and 5th graders practicing their spelling words of the week.

BrainPop is a subscription-based service with short animated video clips that cover an array of curriculum areas.  We have a subscription - see me and we can try it together in the lab.

Wordle is one of my favorites.  We have used this in almost every grade level at Runkle. We have created word splashes in social studies, spelling lists, name plates, class lists, just to name a few.

Ask me about this awesome list. I'm happy to share some ideas for how to bring these tools to your classroom practice.
