Mobile Learning
Classroom 2.0 - I found this web site to be very interesting. I really liked the groups I was able to join and I particularly liked the Google Apps in Education group. There are several great discussions going on and lots of great tips and secrets to success. Very easy to tweet out things that I find to my Professional Learning Network as well. I am also adding people I found on Classroom 2.0 to my PLN on Twitter. I really like this site and didn't even know it existed. I am always looking for ways to connect to more educators and this will be a great resource.
Poll Everywhere - I have been using Poll Everywhere for a couple years. I really like how easy it is to use and kids love to be able to use their cell phones to text the answers. I actually stopped using Poll Everywhere last year when I really got hooked on Google Forms for formative quizzes and became more vested into using Moodle. I gave a Poll Everywhere survey over cancer the other day in class and the kids loved using that format. While I still think intend to keep with Google Forms and Moodle I really need to tap the capabilities of using Poll Everywhere for other things. I can see this as a bell ringer activity or a way to get to know kids better through different types of questions. There is always a concern about students who do not have cell phones to text which is why I like that the survey can be given with a web link so I could poll students giving them a web link they can access on their iPads.
Good for you with your arsenal of polling options. They all seem to have a 'better' fit for one thing or another. Having the ability to make a choice means you get to cover all the bases for learning in your classroom.
