Jenna Hough Cues, Questions, and Advanced Organizers **Resource:** Popplet
 * Rating: ** 10/10
 * Description: ** Popplet is a tool that can be accessed as device application or website tool in which you can visually organize your thoughts and ideas. You start by adding your main idea popplet bubble and are able string connecting bubbles. There are a variety of ways you can design your popplet by adding images, color coding, creating drawings, and/or simply adding text into the bubbles. You also have the option to create a presentation out of your bubbles as well.
 * Alignment w/ Strategy: ** It aligns with the strategy by giving you the ability to organize your main idea and include questions you may need to answer, cues to help remember information, and a way to visually see your connections of a topic or lesson. Ideas can easily be shared with others through the presentation view too.


 * Jaclyn Trahan**
 * Resource: [|Pages] App**
 * Rating: 9/10** -1 con of this is that it is a bit touchy to use on an iPad. Students need to be comfortable with the tools of the app before giving them a major assignment.
 * Description:** The Pages app is similar to a Microsoft Word. It can be used for writing papers, taking notes, creating graphic organizers, and making tables. Pages comes with blank documents and templates that you can use if you're looking for assistance in getting started. With Pages, videos and images can all be uploaded for use in it. In addition, Pages allows multiple users to be on it at one time when using the cloud.
 * Alignment with Strategy:** This app aligns with the readings in Chapter 4, specifically the advanced organizers. Pages allows students to create graphic organizers of their own in tables or shapes. Questions and cues given to students beforehand can be used to guide students with these graphic organizers. Teachers could also create templates to have students upload to Pages in order to have an easier start organizing information.

 * Resource:** Inspiration - Software/app
 * Rating**: 8/10
 * Description:** Inspiration and Kidspiration is a software tool that allows students the chance to create maps and organizers. Students can use this to insert pictures and labels cleanly to connect their thoughts with visual cues. It also has options to help keep things more organized and visually appealing. Students can choose between graphic organizers, mind maps, concept maps, webbing, outlining, and plots and graphs to suit their needs for the assignment. I like how it seems to streamline the process for the students.
 * Alignment:** This tool aligns with multiple parts of this chapter such as organizing and brainstorming (graphic organizers, mind maps, concept maps, outlining) and data collection (plots and graphs). Students can create these maps to help showcase what they have learned from an activity, to organize their thoughts before tackling an assignment, or create visualizations of notes to give them a different organizational technique. Teachers can also use this software to create their own organizers to cue students before a lesson, giving students an easy-to-digest overview of the topic.

**Resource**:[|WiseMapping]Website **Description:** WiseMapping is an online tool designed to represent main ideas, tasks or other items around one topic. WiseMapping allows students to create visual maps of their ideas and promotes brainstorming. The website is free to sign up, and offers a variety of features. WiseMapping allows for collaboration with other students as the document can be shared. One con of WiseMapping is it is not available on iPad or tablet. Another con I found for WiseMapping is the icons for creating the graphic organizer can be quite confusing. This is a good website for someone who wants a different way of creating a graphic organizer but I would most likely not use this within my own classroom.

WiseMapping allows students to create a graphic organizer in any way they feel connects with their thought process. This website allows for students to see visual connections between main ideas and supporting details.

 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Rating: **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">7/10- The free app limits the teacher to how much data can be viewed for each bulb. Paid version would be 9/10.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Description: **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">PlayPosit allows teachers and students(paid version) to create interactive videos. Videos can be taken from Youtube, LearnZillion, TeacherTube, and more. Simply copy the link and start creating your own bulb (interesting name). Bulbs can have a variety of questions imbedded in the video. This requires students to be more engaged and pay closer attention to the content. Teachers get back data from their students once they've finished the video. Like most programs, there are greater benefits to the paid version. This would be a great program for teachers who flip or blend their classrooms! Bulbs can be shared easily with students via email or LMS.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Alignment w/ Strategy: **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">I think PlayPosit correlates with this strategy because of the uniqueness to ask questions and provide a preview for what students will be learning about. This is also a great way to tap into student's prior knowledge and take sort of a pre-assessment before teaching a unit. I also like that you can put your own video or screencast into PlayPosit and add questions/stopping points in your video.

The program allows for the placement of shapes, images, text, and free-hand drawing. One example that can be created is a classic Venn Diagram. The useful part of this app is that all of the elements of the organizer (called "bits") can be moved around independently. In this way, categories can be created, and text or images can be dragged to an area, but subsequently moved to a different area after a discussion, etc.

 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Alignment with Strategy: **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">MindMash allows students to view and create a number of different advance organizers. Not only can text be utilized in a narrative or expository form, but MindMash can also be used to create graphic advance organizers. Each of these forms allows for suggestions offered by Pitler, Hubbel, & Kuhn (2012, p. 92), which encourage explicit highlighting of important topics.

 * Rating:** 10/10

//Pro//- Very user friendly and even has many options for basic (free) members

//Con//- In order to collaborate in the software, you must create an account


 * Description:** MindMup is very similar to Google Apps for Education in that it is very easy to share with and add collaborators. Students can use this website to create “mind maps” or graphic organizers. You can back up your Map to google drive or in the MindMup cloud.


 * Alignment with Strategy:** This aligns with the strategy of cues, questions, and advanced organizers because MindMup allows students to create a graphic organizer. They are able to attach files and organize their thoughts in a way that makes sense to them.

Shawn Peklo Resource: [|Mindomo] Rating: 7 out of 10 Description: Mindomo is a website that allows teachers and students to collaborate with information that was presented in the classroom. You can use Mindomo free or pay for a premium package and they are available to both teachers and students. This app and website allows for teachers and students to brainstorm ideas and gather the most important information from a lesson. Alignment with strategy:I can use this website in my classroom because I teach social studies and students have to retain an exorbitant amount of information in a given chapter. This website will be good both at the beginning and end of chapters. As a social studies teacher, I want to find what they know at the beginning of a chapter and what they want to find out. Being able to pull prior knowledge from the students brains before the chapter starts will allow you to understand what you need to teach more or less of in a chapter.

Mark York Resource: Quizlet Rating: 6 out of 10 Description: this website is designed to test users knowledge of various topics. I don't know if it was meant to be positive or negative originally. In my instructional community, it is synonomous with cheating. It is harsh but our students return to the website and post things like "final exam as of Month/year" and "entrance exam version B' or "quiz 3". Alignment with strategy: Looking beyond that use, I could use the website to convey real questions to students days before lecture. This may focus them to research a topic further or apply their existing knowledge to what is coming during the next lecture.

Kory Stevens Resource: Go Talk 9 Rating: 7 out of 10 Description: This technology device is a communication tool that is used to help students communicate. You can program certain phrases or words so nonverbal students can communicate their wants and needs. Alignment with Strategy: I use my Go Talk 9 as a tool before we start a lesson. I will create a Go Talk 9 grid with pictures and program the word. Before we even start the lesson I will go around to each student and have them press a button. This cues them into what the lesson is about and allows them to put a picture to a word.

 * Resources:** Graphic Organizer (iTunes app)
 * Rating:** 9/10


 * Description:** iPad app that provides customizable templates that students can complete, share, and print. Graphic Organizer charges a fee but offers a multi-license discount and subscription rate. It saves old versions so users can revert back to previous versions of documents if need be. Students can also share documents with other apps in the class. Students like that it supports emojis – especially helpful in younger students when asking for feedback. Diagrams can be shared, printed, saved/viewed as PDF, and uploaded into other applications for classroom use.


 * Alignment with strategy:** Graphic organizer allows students to simply tap and add text. They can format, customize, share, print, save, and revert to old versions. It’s flexible and easy to use. Having pre-made templates also helps save time and gives students a structure to get their thinking started.

The resource provided here is a presentation by teacher Jane Hoover that links over 50 different templates that you can use in Google Drawings to create many styles of digital graphic organizers. Graphic organizers can be created to complement almost any lesson material. Google Drawings is especially convenient for classrooms using Google Classroom, Chromebooks, or other devices running Google Chrome. Alignment with strategy: Teachers can use one of Hoover's Google Drawing templates to create a graphic organizer for their class that is displayed on a projector and/or SMART Board which is completed cooperatively with the entire class. Graphic organizers created in Google Drawings can also be copied by students to be completed on their own or in groups using any internet-connected device. Students can easily share their completed work with the teacher. The template collection includes digital versions of common graphic organizers like KWL charts and fishbone-style planners.
