Interesting Posts from Free Technology for Teachers Blog

 I revisited Free Technology for Teachers blog and I found a post about a free application called Clarisketch . It can be found in google chrome. This application is useful for teachers to create instructional videos for their flipped classroom. They can add drawings to pictures and also voice while sketching. Teachers can use it to explain math problem and also student can create short stories about their pictures. I guess I will try Clarisketch to find out more about it.

I found another interesting post about Your Life On Earth . It is a feature on the BBC's Earth website. It shows you how the world has changed during your lifetime. You have to enter your birthdate and it will show you things like how have you changed, how much the world's population has grown, how many new species have been discovered, and how many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions have occurred since you were born. I tried it and I discovered new information and surprising facts. I think students could use it in science where they learn  about world, species and environment. 

I really enjoy Richard Byrne’s posts. They are filled with creative, new and valuable ideas and tools for everyone.

  1. I like his posts too! He is so active with combing through the large amount of new technologies coming out. It's nice to have someone else do that initial work for you and then just read his reviews! I hope you get to revisit his blog often.
