4 Inclusive Apps

This week's article comes from ASCD.  Click here to read the article.  This article outlines 4 new apps that teachers have available to them. One of them is Newsela, which is one that we have looked at many times.  The other three, I thought would be interesting for you to take a look at.  Please take a look at this recent article about some new resources.

Consider the following questions while reading:

1.  What a great resource that the open eBooks can be.  How could you use such books in your room?  Were you aware of free "open" books available on the internet?
2.  When I read about Padlet, it made me think about the "parking lot" for questions that often exist at PD for teachers.  I also thought about how it could be used in place of KWL charts.  Are you willing to give this a try in your classroom?
3.  Popplet looks like another story boarding app.  Take the time to review how that might be useful in your classroom.
