Supporting Early Literacy with Technology
Here are the websites we discussed to support early literacy:
Fotobabble - for making your photos talk
Bubblesnaps - for adding dialogue balloons to your photos
Vocaroo - sending audio email
Bubblus - brainstorming/mind mapping tool, also used for making family trees, math fact families, and whatever else little ones dream up!
Storybird - gorgeous professional artwork for creating online books
Wordle - makes beautiful word clouds
Tagxedo - makes word clouds in shapes
Bunny Keyboarding - this is the first site I use - simple and fun
Big Brown Bear Keyboarding - this is the 2nd site I use with my first graders - they love this!
Cup Stacking Keyboarding - this is trickier, and you have to find the keys faster.
Burst the Bubble - this is the fastest paced keyboarding site
Comic Life is an app on the MLTI image that is great for making class posters.
Mind Node is also an app on the MLTI image and is great for brainstorming/mind mapping

playing with QR codes
Dan is teaching a roomful of us to make QR codes right now. How cool is this?! Here’s mine. I wonder where this one will take you? Neat opportunities for using phones purposely in the classroom…. Thanks, Dan.

online citizen science platforms for learning
Full house at the citizen science session this morning focused on the Vital Signs (http://vitalsignsme.org) and Project NOAH (http://projectnoah.org) platforms. Lots of interest in connecting students' science learning to nature, to real research questions, and to the scientific community!
