Two New Apps for Teachers?????

Here are two new tools to support your classroom teaching!





1. Trello.


Trello is a software application that can be used to manage workflow and keep track of important information. The benefit of using this in the classroom is for teachers to use it as a learning tool to facilitate student work. Further, it can be  a tool students use when they are completing Inquiry Projects/ Project Based Learning where they manage and track their progress. 
Most importantly Trello is free! Search Trello and sign up today!

2. Seesaw   



Seesaw is a student driven digital portfolio that empowers students of all ages to independently document and share what they are learning. 


Seesaw has the following benefits:



 EMPOWER STUDENTS:
Students (as young as 5!) can independently create, capture, and store artifacts of learning in their private learning journal.

ENGAGE PARENTS:
Parents (after teacher approval) get notified of new items, giving them a glimpse of their child’s day and an opportunity to support learning at home.

SIMPLIFY WORKFLOW:
Whether you are 1:1 or just have a single device in your class, Seesaw seamlessly organizes digital and physical work in one place.
