Communicate .. Create .. EdTech

Here's a recent post by Gene Tognetti about using Web Walls for Collaborative Learning that appeared in SmartBlog Education's Tech Tips.

Padlet is the tool  we wrote about, but there are other choices, as identified in this post by Richard Byrne on FreeTech4Teachers. LinoIt is another good choice. Primary Wall no longer exists.

Padlet - among others - now has an iPad app, too.

Hope you get some inspiration about how to add another easy to use tool supporting collaborative learning!

We've written before about Balefire Labs, an excellent resource to find educational apps evaluated based upon actual research-based learning criteria. They're approaching 5000 reviews, so there is quite a bit to choose from!

Balefire Labs publishes an informative newsletter, and here's a link to their latest one. Please check it out and add Balefire to your list of go-to sites to find unbiased info about  apps that augment student learning!
