- 3. Google Research Tool • 1. Google Research Tool- In Google Docs there is a Research tool that allows students to search Google and cite sources. This would be beneficial for the times when the databases don’t have exactly what you need. Google Research Tool Video. • *Add-ons-EasyBib & Thesaurus
- 5. Quill • 2. Quill- A web-based tool that provides personalized, interactive grammar lessons for middle school students based on the Common Core State Standards. Each lesson consists of concepts from a very specific piece of the Common Core standards, such as individual lessons for each conjunction word. This would be great for a drill exercise.

Three Ring- Three Ring is a tablet and mobile app that allows teachers and students to snap a photo of written work, capture video of presentations, or record audio of student discussions -- all for the sake of supporting classroom organization. I imagine using this for my SLO documentation as well as student portfolios. Three Ring Overview Video. * Can’t upload large videos

- 13. Ponder • 6. Ponder- A “micro-reading response” tool that allows students and teachers to engage with each other when reading articles. Teachers can create a reading list for their class, selecting the sources (NY Times, ESPN.com, etc.) from which students can access articles. Teachers then make a list of topics that students can use to tag articles relevant to their current coursework. This would be great for close-reading with online text.
