Evernote is a web-based application that can be used to make to-do lists, PDF files, store articles, you can set up reminders, tags and set up notebooks to stay organized. I really liked this tool. I had heard from other teachers who went to the UCET conference that it was really cool. I liked what I saw and now I want to start using it. You have to love Lyndsi's enthusiasm about Evernote. I loved the way she and Maria worked together to share class notes in Evernote.

This app is used to help monitor students behavior, communicate with students and parents about their behavior. It seems to be more elementary focused than secondary, but I would like to experiment with it in at least one class and see how useful it would be to me for monitoring my classes. I also like how you can use it kind of like stick picks to randomize questions etc.
Camera Apps
5g iphone, panoramic is great
edit button on the iphone has lots of things you can do to edit photos and save them to your camera roll. You can share your photos with others. Camera+ by tap, tap, tap for $.99. Gear icon (stabilizer mode) won't take a picture until you stop moving the camera. You can set the camera timer to 5, 15, or 30 seconds. Burst mode allows you take multiple photos in a row. I will definitely download this application. My husband has a the newest iPhone and he downloaded this app and we played around with it.
Instagram is interesting. I have friends and family who use this app and I am definitely going to sign up. It seems like a good way to post and share photos, I like the edit features.
I liked Bobies presentation about Quizlet. I would love to have this resource to use in my classes. I like that it is a way to share materials with other teachers and not having to spend so much time creating quizzes on my own.
I would definitely need to do more research before using Poll Everywhere. I will look into this more. I like that you can embed polls into a powerpoint or keynote presentation.
I will use Stage, as a way to share lessons with narration with students. I love being able to label things and possibilities of recording science experiments and demonstrations to share on line. What a great pre-lab activity to have students use in a flipped classroom, to prepare for labs.
I have really enjoyed this class and have learned a ton. I hope that this summer I can use (and become proficient) at using what I have learned as part of my web 2.0 tools.
