Every Tuesday, I share some of the best technology blog posts, tweets, or highlights that I have discovered during the week. My hope is by sharing these tech tidbits, we can all continue to share information with each other in regards to education technology integration.

EXTRA: One more thing to share with Google Slides. There is a new add-on called Paletti. This add-on allows you to color your slides with a touch of a button in over 200 different combinations.
Mizou.com is a chatbot that was created for 1 to 1 student interactions in a safe environment. There is something from elementary to senior students to explore. With Mizou, teachers can customize and create an AI chatbot based upon their learning materials and rubrics. The chatbot can then be shared with students in a secure fashion (students do not need to login or sign up). Students can then interact with the chatbot using text, images, and audio. Students and teachers will receive automatic feedback identifying where students relate in context with the material. If you don’t have a lot of time, try using one of the chatbots already created by another educator. You can search by grade level and subject. You can give them a try yourself before you share them with students. I tried a chatbot about learning the ABC’s and another where I conversed with Edgar Allan Poe. You could learn about mummification or get tutorial help in math. There are so many different and wonder...
Educaplay is a website that allows you to create and find educational activities, manage groups, export your resources, and use them with your students across devices. In addition, students can challenge each other and see the results in real-time. For those of you who use Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams, the activities can be easily integrated. To get started, sign up for a free account. Spend a few minutes searching for your time zone (honestly, this was the hardest part of using the site), and then do a search for a unit of study in the search bar above. There are thousands of different games already created by other people you can use. If you find one that looks interesting, give it a try. If you want to use it with your students, click on the Share button and then click on Google Classroom (or Microsoft Teams). The top ten results will be posted by everyone who plays the game. If you want to create your own game...
A recent trend that I have seen lately is teachers creating Facebook, Twitter, or even TikTok accounts and groups with the explicit purpose of sharing their created educational activities with one another. In almost every case, they are sharing it for free with the hope that someone else will reciprocate their good jester and share their own materials. With this in mind, two educators have created a website called Teachers Help Teachers as a place where teachers can freely share with each other. They have taken the submissions and organized them according to grade level and topic. There are some absolutely amazing resources already available. Take a look and maybe think about submitting your own creations!
