Educational Applications




Storybird-
-Create- Storybird is a place that people of all ages can create visual stories. This fits right into this category as it helps you to design, assemble, construct, develop and author an original piece. This is a great classroom tool where anyone can become inspired by the illustrations and become an author of something great.
-Contrived Experience/Visual Symbols- Created a model or simulation to represent or show how to do something. Telling a story about something.

Quizlet-
-Remember- Quizlet is an online learning tool that will help you practice and master whatever you are needing to learn. Teachers and students can tailor the tool to fit their current needs. This, in turn, helps them recall facts and concepts from their memory.
-Visual Symbols- This will help you practice, learn, and memorize by seeing words and/or phrases.

Blogger-
-Understand- Blogging can be an infinite number of things. It is almost like an online journal that could be the start to anything you want it to be. The topics to discuss, describe, explain and report are endless. It can be used for educational purposes to sharing your pet peeves with people.
-Exhibits- I think this would fall under exhibits because you can blog about anything. The topics and media are unlimited that you discuss and share. So it is like you are putting your thoughts, views, and feelings on exhibit for everyone that reads your Blog.

Lucid Chart-
-Analyze-With this application you can compare, contrast, differentiate and organize thoughts, ideas, and concepts. This has been a great resource for me as a special education teacher. I can create charts and organizers on so many topics and customize them to my student’s needs.
-Exhibits- This falls under exhibits because you can show or exhibit all kinds of different information in many different ways. The best part is you can create the way you want to exhibit the information.
