 * Resource: ** Minecraft, Minecraft Educational Edition, Pocket Minecraft

 * Type: ** An environmental sandbox game for desktop, console and limited mobile applications
 * Rating: 10/10 **
 * Description: ** Minecraft is a sandbox game in which players can interact with every single block that makes up the world. It is fully open-ended and, even without scaffolding, is a rich environment for students to engage in problem-solving activities. It can be played collaboratively online or through a LAN connection, or localized on a computer or console. There is an extensive and active Minecraft community online: there are hundreds of "modpacks" that can be installed to augment specific aspects of the game (like a computer craft or chemistry mod); there are detailed wikis to support independent research and problem-solving; there are public and private hosted servers with particular guidelines or "flavor". Minecraft has a very low bar of entry to engage with the material, which makes it appropriate for learners with diverse ages and abilities.

Name: Jerry Sloan Name of the Resource: [|Twitter] (add link) Type of resource: can be used via website or app Rate the resource: 8. Invaluable free resource for connecting with like-minded people and helpful resources from across the world. However, Twitter does not do an adequate job of screening out malicious users, who often use the site for bullying or hateful behavior. Brief description: Twitter is a social media platform where users post short messages, typically focused around text and images. Users can easily collaborate and communicate by linking their messages via "hashtags". For example, I follow the hashtags #Grantchat (which hosts weekly conversations around topics related to grant writing) and #EduColor (where people discuss issues related to racial equity in education.) Alignment with ISTE standards: Twitter allows students to easily "connect with learners from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, engaging with them in ways that broaden mutual understanding and learning" (7a). Twitter can enable students to connect directly with "peers, experts or community members, to examine issues and problems from multiple viewpoints" (7b) and "explore local and global issues and use collaborative technologies to work with others to investigate solutions" (7d).

Resource: Google Hangout Type of Resource: App Link: https://hangouts.google.com Rating: 9/10- I give this a 9 rating because the app is free and its a great resource to bring together groups for meetings, online class, or far away family. The downfall is that this app, like many, works with wifi or your devices signal and if the signal is bad it can cause glitches in the video or even disconnect someone from the video. Another downfall that I found from the reviews was that there is no way to set different alerts for the different groups that one may be apart of. Description: This app allows people to video chat or have a phone call for free for up to 10 people. The good thing about this app is that it can be connected to the users other google accounts such as google docs and be shared with the members of the hangout. The app is usable when connected to wifi. Resource Alignment: This app aligns with ISTE standards because it allows students to virtually collaborate with experts, teams, and students both locally and globally.

Resource: Google Hangout Type of Resource: Educational Website Link: [] Rating: 10/10 Description: Google Hangouts is a free resource for people who have a google account. Google Hangouts allows its users to connect from anywhere there is a wifi connection. Users can make voice calls, text, or video chats.Google Hangouts is especially useful when needing to video chat with more than one person. When using Google Hangouts with multiple people, the video chat automatically toggles to whoever is speaking. This feature is nice because it allows for students using it to have a clear understanding of who is talking. Resource Alignment: Google Hangouts allows students to collaborate and learn from people that they would not normally come into contact with. Google Hangouts perfectly aligns with ISTE standards of the Global Communicator because they can quite literally communicate with people from all over the world!

 * Student:** Alexandria Kranz
 * Resource:** Google Drive
 * Type of Resource:** It is both an App and a website (I think of it a lot like the cloud for apple users, but it allows for far more collaboration)
 * Rating:** 10/10! Google Drive is free, which is a big plus! Storage apps and other apps comparable to this usually cost money when it gets full. It's convenient and allows collaboration and growth for all users!
 * Description**: Google Drive is essentially and app/website that allows for the storage and use of documents, photos, and many other works. When working on a google doc, slides, etc it automatically saves to the cloud, no fear of losing work because the application glitches and closes. You have access to these files by simply searching this drive. You can collaborate with anyone on any document as long as they have a gmail account by "sharing" said work with them. This can easily be used in any work or classroom setting, it allows for teamwork, peer editing, and group projects to be completed with ease.
 * Standards:** Students have access to a wide variety of resources that they can share with anyone anywhere (pen pals across the world as an example-share a google doc!) and learn from collaborative work/comments (**7a/7b).** This allows for peers to work together towards a common goal while shifting roles from creator to editor to presenter with ease (**7c)**.

**Student**: Kathryn Maust **Resource**: [|Cue Think] **Type of resource**: App **Rating**: 9/10 (Cost brings down the rating.) **Description**: Cue Think is an app that uses collaboration to improve critical and mathematical thinking skills in students as well as their communication about their ideas. It gives students problems and space to record “thinklets” which are videos they create showing their solutions with drawing and writing as well as their voice explaining it in the background. Students have the opportunity to respond to each other’s “thinklets,” adding their reaction and any questions or comments as annotations on the video. The whole brand is “Make Math Social,” because they are focused on students responding and adding to each other’s work. The work and their responses can then be saved to the class library, from which the teacher can gather information about broad understanding or misunderstanding. The teacher can also demonstrate the growth that individual students show as well as their collective collaborative growth. **ISTE Standards**: 7a - Students use digital tools to connect with learners from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, engaging with them in ways that broaden mutual understanding and learning. 7b - Students use collaborative technologies to work with others, including peers, experts or community members, to examine issues and problems from multiple viewpoints.

Educators are given the option of selecting their school community and joining a group when creating their account; this makes it simple for educators who belong to the same school to share ideas and resources, join discussions and more. Further, Edmodo allows educators to easily engage with their students in real-time, post class assignments, check student’s progress, individually message their students, create notifications, provide resources by creating a library, communicate with parents and much more! The student experience is just as great; by typing the “group code” provided by the educator, students are able to create their free account which allows them access to their classroom assignments and enables them to communicate and interact with their classmates. In addition, Edmodo provides its users with unlimited storage, Google Apps and Microsoft Office integration, free and premium tools amongst other amazing features.

Name of Resource: Now Comment Type of Resource: website Link: []

Rate the Resource (1-10):
 * I would rate this resource a 9 because it makes reading articles in class more interactive and collaborative. Instead of students reading an article on their own they can make comments and have discussions with other students right on the article. They can post comments within the article which is easier then going back and forth between the article and a separate answer sheet. Teachers can see exactly where in the article a student is getting their responses and ideas from. Students can also interact by having discussions with other classmates on the article comments. Students can also read and comment on the article individually, and then be prepared for an in class discussion abou the article. It is also a free resource.

Description:
 * Students can read articles and attach comments to the article that are pulled up alongside the article. Students can comment on each other’s observations and have discussions. Teachers can see exactly which points in the article the student is talking about.

ISTE Standards: 7a Students use digital tools to connect with learners from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, engaging with them in ways that broaden mutual understanding and learning.

Students can engage with every person in their class and see their viewpoints and ideas about the information in the articles. This allows them broaden their understanding and learning by seeing what their peers took from the article that they may not have considered if they just read it on their own. They can get a deeper understanding of the article through discussions with peers.

(KJ) I would rate this source an 8.1/10. It is a good source that promotes professional collaboration. It would have been scored higher if the search process was more refined. As an educator who has used this the past two years, I find it difficult sometimes to locate documents by searching for key words, mainly because those key words will show up hundreds of times with all of the documents that my students have turned in. It would be nice if they had an option to just search key words in the titles of Google Docs.
 * Rate the Resource on a scale of 1 to 10: ** 10


 * Brief description of the Resource and how it can is used with classroom instruction or training in a work setting: ** Google Drive can be used to store and share documents. It can also be used for students or coworkers to work collaboratively. An example being that my school district uses Google Drive as a way to document what happens in PLTs, and to share district curriculum guidelines and lesson plans. A teacher can put up a document and share it with students with the expectation that everyone contributes.

(KJ) Coming from a Google school, I have become pretty familiar with [|Google Drive] over the past couple of years. It is a well-organized space that you and your colleagues can create and share documents on the Google Suite (Docs, Slides, Sheets, etc.). For example, my social studies department has team drives for every class. These are spaces that we use to collect resources for each specific unit. You can break each unit up into it's own folder, so the organization is great. We collect and share everything from assignments, to common assessments, to [|Google Slide] lectures, to lesson progression plans. I personally also use this website to track my after school hours working as a PA announcer for my school on [|Google Sheets]. The website and application are broken down into different sections labeled "My Drive", "Team Drives", "Shared with Me", "Recent", "Google Photo", "Starred", and "Trash". This is also the site/app that my students are required to use in order to store all of their daily assignments. Some they work on collaboratively, some are completed individually.


 * How does the resource align with instructional strategy examined for the week: ** This resource aligns with being a Global Collaborator because students can create documents or projects and put them into a shared folder. Students don’t need to be in the same class, or even in the same city, state, or country in order to complete the project with Google Drive. Students can use the other Google applications or upload documents to be viewed or completed by other members in a group.

(KJ) ISTE 7a: "Students use digital tools to connect with learners from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, engaging with them in ways that broaden mutual understanding and learning." Students are able to work from all over the world, if need be, to complete objectives within the classroom. They use a variety of tools (Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.) to collaborate in reaching a higher understanding of content.

 * Name of Resource: ** G Suite for Education (formerly Google Apps for Education)
 * Type of Resource: ** Applications and Websites
 * Link: ** G Suite for Education
 * Rating: ** 10/10 - I rated the G Suite for Education (formerly Google Apps for Education) a 10/10 for many reasons. First of all, the slew of Google products included in the education suite are completely free to use, including technical support. Secondly, the apps, websites, and products associated with the G Suite for Education are very user friendly, allowing people unfamiliar with technology to be successful with the products. Lastly, the G Suite education apps have become commonplace in most schools, making collaboration and communication between schools, parents, and students a breeze.
 * Brief Description: ** G Suite for education is a compilation of suggested apps for use in the classroom. Tools that are available for school use include Google Classroom, Gmail, Google Drive (for storage), Google Calendar, Google Vault, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Forms, Google Slides, Google Sites, and Google Hangouts. Most of the tools are collaborative in nature, allowing multiple people the ability to access, edit, and comment on documents, slides, sheets, forms, etc. Conveniently, a majority of these tools can be accessed on multiple platforms through web browsers, Chromebooks, and apps for smartphones and tablets. The ideas for collaboration using G Suite are endless. One example would be having students peer edit each other's papers by adding comments and suggestions to Google Docs. This same type of collaboration could also happen between schools in different cities or countries, allowing for global collaboration.
 * Alignment with ISTE: ** These tools line up so well with the ISTE "Global Collaborator" standard that one would think the G Suite was made specifically for this standard. G Suite lines up particularly well with standards 7a and 7c. With these tools, students can contribute in meaningful ways to projects while simultaneously working with students from backgrounds that are different than their own. A student from Mexico City could explore and provide feedback on something that a student from Michigan is doing. This type of collaboration undoubtedly helps students to "broaden mutual understanding" and "work effectively toward a common goal," as the Global Collaborator standard states.

 * Rate the Resource on a scale of 1 to 10: ** 10


 * Brief description of the Resource and how it can is used with classroom instruction or training in a work setting: ** This resource is the easiest online meeting tool I have used thus far. The person who hosts the meeting can sign up for a free account that can handle about 50 users at one time. All you have to do is schedule a meeting and email the links created by the website/app to everyone who needs to attend. On their end, all they have to do is click on the link at the appropriate time, select either computer or phone audio, and type in their name, no downloads necessary. Someone can also call into the meeting via their phone and use the access code given with the meeting link. The website/app allows all participants to speak using their computer or phone microphone, but there is also a chat feature where people can type in comments or questions. All participants can share their screens and use their webcams. The host as the ability to mute everyone and turn of screen-sharing and webcams. This can be used between educators, especially for those who work in a strictly online environment. Everyone can meet online and collaborate together with ease. I have also used gotomeeting.com as a way to host live sessions for my online homeschooling students. If they need one on one help or if I want to host a larger group lesson, all I have to do is post the link and what time to log in.

This media outlet has been proven to have grown into one of the most popular ways to communicate. The website has tools such as video messenger, chats, wall post, etc. Facebook can be used in the classroom by using its digital tools to commutate and allow for students to share ideas and learn from others. Facebook can be an outlet for students to see other’s point of view. =====

**How does the resource align with instructional strategy examined for the week?:** Facebook aligns with the instructional strategy “Global Collaborator” because this microblogging app helps to reach ‘learners from a variety of diverse backgrounds and cultures”. Students can collaborate and connect with other students nationally or even globally with this outlet. Students may become more engaged with the activity as social media is an influencer for students which can also “broaden mutual understanding and learning”. =====

While using this app, you can do an individual video call or even a group video call. You can also make traditional phone calls and screen share. Anyone can download Skype on their phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. I chose Skype because I use it quite often if I am not able to make a meeting or if I just want to chat face-to-face with a friend or relative who I haven't seen in awhile. Skype is a great tool, however, I do wish that the creators would make the connection better. Every once in awhile my video chat becomes disconnected even if I have full service and this can become quite the nuisance while in a meeting.

Students, teachers, employees, or employers are able to use digital tools such as video chatting to learn from each other. Educators and managers can also use Skype as a tool to put together a learning project to assist in the growth and development of students and/or employees without the student/employee being there in person. Someone could literally be on vacation and connect for a 20 minute long meeting thousands of miles away.

 * Type of Source**: Web app for collaboration - education or business


 * Rating:** 7/10 I was really excited that it said you could view websites and collaborate as a group. I could not get the 3 math tool websites to load passed the first page, so that really brought my rating down. You can analyze projects, documents, photos, files, etc. I did not try to upload all of the file types but my photo and Word file worked fine. Maybe my computer doesn't have all of the updates to run the site, but I am sure my students don't either. I hope to use it for collaboration and Math Speak on math problems.


 * Description:** Twiddla is advertised as an online collaborative whiteboard for meetings or schools. The tools are easy to use to mark up a photo, file, document, or website (couldn't get it to work). You can easily invite others, use the chat function and add audio. It is pretty intuitive. When you try to edit something new, it does tell you that it will clear your screen. It didn't tell me to save it, which it took me a while to figure out how to save it as a snapshot.

7b Students use collaborative technologies to work with others, including peers, experts or community members, to examine issues and problems from multiple viewpoints. 7c Students contribute constructively to project teams, assuming various roles and responsibilities to work effectively toward a common goal.
 * ISTE Standards.** Twiddla aligns best with standards 7b and 7c:

Teachers could use the app with any subject and unit that involved collaboration as long as they could get the website tool to work.

<span style="font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: 12pt;">The resource aligns with the current week’s instructional strategy, Global Collaborator, in that it allows the learner to connect and engage with other learners globally. The bulletin boards are collaborative technologies that allow learners to contribute to a team project by sharing their unique viewpoint. <span style="font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: 12pt;">

**Rate**: My rating for this website is a 8 out of 10. I find this great for group discussions however Facebook is very sensitive to copyright. You can't post videos that have music in them and often videos and photos are deleted without warning. Can be complicated to navigate for some. In addition, I do love the security feature on the person and group page where you have to be accepted before proceeding with participating in posting or even viewing work. They offer this program for free for computer use or mobile use using an App for Apple and Android products. This will work great for group collaboration work.

**Descriptions**: This site is great for personal and collation use. It allows you to make an individual profile where you can blog your own thoughts, accomplishments, or daily deeds. The individual profile is great for networking and keeping in contact with those you have met throughout your life. You can also host a group page whether it be for a class or a common interest among alike individuals. The group page allows you to add members and receive membership request. Once you are a member of the group you are able to contribute to the discussions by adding your own post, documents, photos, or videos.

**ISTE Standards**: Facebook aligns with the ISTE Standard 3b. This program promotes collaboration within teacher and students and even the community. It supports students to discuss and explore different ideas and perceptions within a certain topic and also provides the opportunity to openly discuss and create innovating ideas as a group.

<span style="font-family: &#39;Arial&#39;,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">From a business point of view, this is a low cost collaborative app that allows team leaders to add or remove team members as needed. Other apps offer similar, but video conferencing may be choppy, not offered at all.

<span style="font-family: &#39;Arial&#39;,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">GSuite could easily apply in education settings. Instructors can set up groups to work on real time projects. Students, like business teams, may be located anywhere in the world they can access the app, providing a greater depth of participation.

 * Google Drive is a one stop shop that is free to those who have created an account with the platform. It allows you to create documents, slideshows, excel worksheets and much more. Not only can you store your photos, but you can also work and share your works with others. You can access this platform on a desktop, mobile device, and laptop/tablet device. This elevates that resources available for you to work with others. We can work on a project together and get the task done without being in the same space or worry about multiple copies. In addition, I can pick up and go and not worry about changes being saved because of the amazing autosave feature. This is awesome for a work setting when you need a cloud based atmosphere to store and share information. In addition, when hosting training events where there are multiple powerpoints to provide copies of. You can survey your targeted audience. The options to provide quality training to your organization (especially non profits) is quite vast.
 * How does the resource align with instructional strategy examined for the week (2 - 3 sentences).
 * When you think of google drive and the capacity in which you can work with others to achieve a common task, one of the main descriptors is collaboration. In the online environment, you can easily work with your peers and share information seamlessly. This supports, specifically 7b and 7c of the ISTE Standards. Simply put, when you think of contributing constructively to team projects and using collaborative technologies to work with others, you think of Google Drive
