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.

- 9. Ponder • 4. 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.
