Examining collections of resources - find five to save and share
Use these two repositories of digital resources to explore and tinker with tools you've tried before, and examine tools you've never seen before. The digital landscape is full of potentially powerful tools to use with students, but a critical stance is required to ensure the tools will improve and support student learning. Scan through the collections linked here and FIND FIVE to curate for your own use as a teacher. You can create your own Padlet OR collect using other curation options such as Pinterest, Symbaloo, or even a Google spreadsheet. Share the link to your collection with your Slack group.
