 * **Rate**: 10/10. If you do not have a Canva account, go and make one right now! Canva is an awesome collaborative application that allows individuals, bloggers, small businesses, teachers, students, non-profits, corporations, etc. to make beautiful and engaging marketing/online content.
 * **Description**: Canva provides users with an easy to use platform for creating content that would make even the most savvy Photoshop user turn their head. Canva provides pre-formatted layouts which can be turned into amazing online content ready for sharing via any choice of modality (social media, email, cloud sharing, print, etc). Canva's platform also allows users to collaborate on designs within shared folders. This is helpful when teams or groups of students are working on projects that require multiple individuals to create content rich, yet professional, driven designs.

 * **Identification: ** Educational Website (App Available too)
 * **Rating: ** I rate this website with a 9/10. I give it this rating because I loved the layout of the website. It was easy to navigate and the bold colors made it visually appealing. The ability to search under different categories makes it user friendly for educators to use when time is limited. I also think the videos are very appealing to young children.  Students could also use the site easily. I like that they would be able to use it at home with parents. What a great way to get parents engaged in activities with them!
 * **Description: **GoNoodle is a website that is intended for teachers and/or parents to get kids to be active and engaged with their learning, thus making them knowledge constructors. There are a wide variety of videos available. These videos vary in length but they are brief enough to use for quick "brain breaks" or long enough for inside recess time. Videos are available to search under the following categories: Curricular, Mindfulness, Sensory and Motor Skills, School Life, and Movement Type.
 * **Resource Alignment: ** The GoNoodle website is aligned to the standard for ISTE 3 - Knowledge Constructor. Students are given the opportunity to practice this standard while they interact and engage with their peers as they watch the videos. They are able to develop ideas and pursue answers to curricular questions through their exploration of the video content presented.
 * ISTE Standard 3 - Knowledge Constructor: Students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others.

 * Website: ** [|Annotate.net]

**Rating**: I would rate Annotate.net a 7/10. Annotate.net is a cloud based web app. The resource has a variety of features for teachers to use to set up digital collaboration in their classroom. It can be used from any device (phone, tablet, computer). The site provides tutorials which teachers can watch to learn how to set up their “whiteboard”, use it as an assessment tool, and use it as a collaboration tool for students. Teachers can upload powerpoints, videos, and use discussion boards for student responses. I like that students can enter answers privately and then the teacher can choose to make their responses public, allowing students to connect and collaborate with each other. Some of the features work on a tablet and some work on a computer, and I can see how that may be frustrating. I think I would need training or practice with it, further than what the tutorials provide. This is why I gave it a 7. **ISTE Standards:** This site follow ISTE Standard 3c: Students curate information from digital resources using a variety of tools and methods to create collections of artifacts that demonstrate meaningful connections and conclusions.

Padlet: an educational app and website

**Rating**: I rate this resource a 9/10. The majority of the features are free for students and teachers. It is easy to use, supports many devices and a large number of file types. The drawback is that there is an annual fee of $1499 for an entire school to enjoy the full site. Individual teachers can also pay $12 monthly or $99 annually.

**Description**: Padlet is a collaboration tool that supports 29 different languages. The teacher selects or designs a Padlet template, and then students have the opportunity to add text, images, documents, videos and others. The post of each student appears as an individual box on the screen based on the format selected. It has five different privacy settings as well as various types of access and control for each collaborator. This resource allows each student to have an equal voice in a group discussion to answer a question, share opinions, make predictions and more. Padlet can be used on iOS, Android and Kindle devices and also includes Padlet Briefcase designed specifically for businesses.

**ISTE Standard Alignment**: This tool allows students to gather information from a variety of digital resources and tools to express their ideas or draw conclusions (Standard 3c). It also allows allows them to collaborate and combine their ideas with the ideas of others to answer questions and solve problems (Standard 3d). Based on the teacher’s specific objective with each individual Padlet, standards 3a and 3b regarding research strategies and evaluating resources could also be included. 3c: Students curate information from digital resources using a variety of tools and methods to create collections of artifacts that demonstrate meaningful connections or conclusions. 3d: Students build knowledge by actively exploring real-world issues and problems, developing ideas and theories and pursuing answers and solutions. =<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden; vertical-align: baseline;"> =

 * Resource:** Grammar Flip


 * Rating:** I would give this website a 7/10. The website offers a flipped alternative to teaching grammar and writing concepts for middle school, high school, and college aged students. It is a self-paced program that teachers can use in a traditional setting, blended learning, or flipped classroom setting, which is a great concept. However, I gave it a 7/10 because of the cost associated with the product. For a 100 student package, the cost is $98.99 for the "Master" plan. This plan includes individual student reports and information.


 * Description:** Grammar Flip is a website that is a self-paced curriculum that begins with instructional videos, moves to practice exercises, and finishes with writing exercises that incorporates the skill studied. It is tailored to each student because they take a diagnostic test first to see the level of the current knowledge. The color coded-progress reports offer teachers information on how students performed, and whether they are prepared to apply the concept to writing. A writing portal offers teachers opportunity to provide 1-click feedback or more detailed comments to assist students.


 * Alignment with Standards:** This website directly relates to the standard: "Students build knowledge by actively exploring real-world issues and problems, developing ideas and theories and pursuing answers and solutions" because they are actively involved in constructing their knowledge of grammar and writing concepts. When students have more responsibility over their learning, they tend to be more invested in the outcome.

 * Resource:** Tween Tribune


 * Identify the Resource:** Educational Website


 * Rate:** I would rate this website an 8/10. I believe it would help students to become more connected to the real-world events that are happening, but at a level that they can handle. It is nice that the website seperates into grade ranges for the different current events. Although I didn’t see much difference with the k-4 articles and the 9-12 articles. I would think they would be very different, and becasue of their not being a difference I did lower the rating.


 * Description:** Tween Tribune is a website run by the Smithsonian Institution that offers daily news for kids K-12. It is free and accessible to all through the internet. Students and teachers also have the option of making a free account that would allow them to make comments on articles to their classmates or the public after first being reviewed by their teacher. The site also breaks down articles for the different levels of K-4, 5-6, 7-8, and 9-12. There is the opportunity for teachers to use the lesson plans and assessment tools for articles when an account is made.


 * Alignment with Standards:** One of the biggest connections to this week‘s standard is making meaningful learning experiences for themselves. This resource would be an excellent opportunity for students to make a connection to the world outside the school environment at the level in which they are learning. Working to help students become global citizens and understand real workd topics is difficult when many news articles are written at a level that many students can’t understand. This website allows for those connections to take place in a meaningful way for students to learn about real-world topics.

 * Resource:** Tiki-Toki


 * Identify the Resource:** Tiki-Toki is a web-based software program.


 * Rating:** I would rate this website at 7/10. The site seems straightforward to use and is a unique resource for teachers and students both. The downside of Tiki-Toki is that there is a cost involved if you want to use all of the available features. An educator membership gives a teacher full access to the site plus an additional 50 "Bronze" level memberships for students. The educator membership is required in order for students to work collaboratively on projects. The cost could be a deterrent for many teachers who might otherwise use the site in their classrooms.


 * Description:** Tiki-Toki is a site that allows users to create interactive timelines. Students and teachers can create projects that include images, text, videos, and other artifacts that can be categorized and layered onto their timeline. Timelines can be shared using individual URLs and also embedded on personal websites. A teacher that has an education membership can have students use the resource to work collaboratively in small groups or as entire classes through the group edit feature. The cost for the education membership is $125 per year and includes the teacher and 50 students. Institutional licensing is also available.


 * Alignment with Standards:** Depending on the way the resource is implemented in the classroom, Tiki-Toki aligns with most if the ISTE Knowledge Constructor standards. The site allows students to plan and employ research strategies to locate information for their timelines (3a). Students will need to evaluate the accuracy, perspective, credibility, and relevance of the information they collect (3b). The information will be curated using the different tools available through the program in order to create the timeline in a creative way (3c). Whether or not students will use the technology to build knowledge is largely dependent on the way the site is implemented in the classroom (3d).

 * Resource:** [|StoryJumper]


 * Identify the Resource:** Educational Website


 * Rating:** I would give this resource a 9/10. This website is very easy to use and most of the online resources are free for students to use! If you want a paper copy of a book you create, you have to pay, but the prices are very affordable. This is a very engaging way for students to be creative and involved with their writing and an opportunity to make a collaborative classroom piece! It does align to many of the ISTE Knowledge Constructer Standards, but not all of them.


 * Description:** This website allows students to create books or stories online. It can be used for single stories or can be combined to make a cohesive classroom story or classroom book. This is a very useful tool for the elementary level. Students can record their voice to their story, create pictures or images, add music, and upload sound effects. Not only can students create their own books, but there is a library where students can read other examples of books that their peers/ other kids have created.

3aStudents plan and employ effective research strategies to locate information and other resources for their intellectual or creative pursuits.
 * Align to Standards:** This website does align to some ISTE Standards for Knowledge Constructer. It allows students to produce creative artifacts, make connections to others, and experience learning that is meaningful. Students also use their digital knowledge by working with clipart, animations, photos, and audio clips.

3cStudents curate information from digital resources using a variety of tools and methods to create collections of artifacts that demonstrate meaningful connections or conclusions.

[|GoNoodle]
GoNoodle is a educational website or app that allows children to be active in the classroom through brain breaks. Teachers or parents can sign up for this website/app and it is for free! I would give this resource an 9/10 as videos in a channel do not automatically play and someone has to click which video they want every time for a video to play. GoNoodle is a website/app for brain breaks with different channels. Some examples include Moosetube, Youtube, Indoor Recess and Koo Koo Kangaroo. Each channel will have the same character's or people doing different movements that engage children to become active. GoNoodle is great for indoor recess, brain breaks or part of your routine. GoNoodle aligns with constructing knowledge because children are being creative in movements/actions while learning. Children are making meaningful experiences with their peers.

I haven’t used this website this year with my class, however after looking at it again it’s something I would like to incorporate back into my classroom. It’s great for brain breaks and indoor recess! Which we have had lot of this year. I also like that it ties health and nutrition into some of the activities.

@https://web.seesaw.me/ Seesaw is a website that allows for students and educators to create a digital portfolio. It can also be downloaded as an app and used that way. I would give this resource a 9/10 as it does not hit every facet of the Knowledge Constructor ISTE Standard. Some of the things that students can add include photos, videos, drawings, PDF files, and links to different websites. Students, parents, or educators can sign up and begin curating resources they find helpful or useful. They could use the site to show off projects they have been working on, use the site as a blog to upload writing or journaling, and demonstrate creativity through other digital links and resources they may have created. Teachers can make accounts for each student in the class and then students can begin posting to their seesaw page. Parents are allowed to see their student’s digital portfolio if they choose to do so. You sign up online and can access the site that way. It can also be downloaded as an app to be used on devices that support different operating systems like Google Chrome, iOS, and Android. In regards to students becoming knowledge curators I think Seesaw is a fantastic tool for educators to give their learners exposure to. Students can quickly update and add things to their digital portfolio and don’t have to worry about carrying papers around in folders for months on end. Their resources are stored on their Seesaw account and can be accessed anywhere there is an internet connection.

I use this app both for personal interests, such as technology, local news, and personal finances. But last fall, in light of Equifax, the FCC repeal of net neutrality, and the investigation into alleged Russian hacking of the election, H1-B visa reform, I also started using it for my own teaching preparations in I.T. Ethics. For 30 minutes every morning for 1-2 months, I would browse Feedly from my Kindle in the morning looking for updates and other new events relevant to the I.T. field that would serve as discussion points within the ethics class. I also paired my Feedly account with my Microsoft OneNote app. This allowed me to “save” relevant articles to a OneNote Notebook, allowing me to read full articles later in the day, annotate, and choose which I would bring up with my class. >> >> Feedly strongly relates to the following ISTE Standards >>> >>
 * Resource : Feedly
 * ** Category: **
 * ** Rate ** : 9/10
 * <span style="font-family: &#39;Courier New&#39;; font-size: 10pt;">o ** Positives: ** First, the flexibility of the app itself. A user can download Feedly to their mobile device, build their account and information “feeds” quickly and easily. Secondly, users can access these feeds from multiple devices. As an example, I have Feedly installed on my Kindle Fire, and if I forgot my Kindle Fire, I could easily access my account through a conventional web browser at work. Third, the app is highly customizeable in terms of identifying sources of information to receive updates for. I have been able to subscribe to large scale sources such as Lifehacker and Engadget, but also local sources such as the Lansing City Pulse. Fourth (and final) is that Feedly works really well in partnerships with other applications, such as Microsoft OneNote.
 * <span style="font-family: &#39;Courier New&#39;; font-size: 10pt;">o ** Negatives: ** It is underappreciated. I became interested in news feeds and filtered information when I provided training and support for Microsoft Outlook when I was a software trainer within an I.T. department. At the time, Outlook was rolling out support and tools for subscribing and managing RSS Feeds. And while I tried promoting this within my training sessions, few years saw the value or impact. Since discovering and using Feedly a few years ago, I think Feedly does a much better job of allowing users to subscribe and manage updates from sources they trust and topics they are interested in. The second negative is that while it does a fine job subscribing to major news feeds, some of the smaller, more local sources are harder to set up subscriptions for.
 * ** Description ** :
 * ** ISTE Standard #3 (Knowledge Constructor) **
 * <span style="font-family: &#39;Courier New&#39;; font-size: 10pt;">o ISTE Standard 3a, which states “plan and employ effective research strategies to locate information and other resources for their intellectual or creative pursuits.” While Feedly does not inofitself teach the user research strategies directly, it does facilitate research strategies based upon the sources a user subscribes to, and what articles they choose to read, bookmark, or otherwise archive.
 * <span style="font-family: &#39;Courier New&#39;; font-size: 10pt;">o ISTE Standard 3b, which states “evaluate the accuracy, perspective, credibility, and relevance of information, media, data, or other resources.” Again, Feedly does not directly //teach// a method for evaluating sources or the information updates received from those subscriptions. However, Feedly does //support// this evaluation process by providing small “previews” of content published by sources.
 * <span style="font-family: &#39;Courier New&#39;; font-size: 10pt;">o ISTE Standard 3c, which states “curate information from digital resources using a variety of tools and methods to create collections of artifacts that demonstrate meaningful connections or conclusions.” Feedly allows users to subscribe to a maximum of 100 sources in the free version (unlimited in the paid options). These subscriptions allows users to receive updates from these sources, and choose what incoming information they may need and review in greater detail.
 * <span style="font-family: &#39;Courier New&#39;; font-size: 10pt;">o ISTE Standard 3d, which states “build knowledge by actively exploring real-world issues and problems, developing ideas and theories and pursuing answers and solutions. Assuming that users have subscribed to sources of interest and a reputation that reflects their values, users can quickly view incoming articles, and decide which to read in-depth. Feedly provides live updates of article titles and brief summaries, allowing users to quickly decide what can be read now, read later, or bypassed altogether.
