Apps Used As A Teacher:
Two digital tools I found very helpful were Kahoot and Quizlet Live, I would use these two apps a lot as a teacher because, Quizlet Live is a great way to get all students involved and excited to study, I also would use Kahoot for the same thing. If I am a teaching history I would use these two apps as a reviewing tool, if I'm teaching as a special education teacher I'm not sure how much I would use these apps because special education is a lot different than general education classes. Also as a teacher I would use the apps, Teachers Pay Teachers, Book Wizard, and Crayola For Educators. Teachers Pay Teachers is a website that allows teachers to pay other teachers for their worksheets. Book Wizard is an app that lets you search for books and eBooks. I also found a website called Live Binders, this resource would be really helpful as a teacher because you have all of these lesson plans, assignments, and review sheets. You can put things on Live Binder as a teacher and other teachers can borrow what you have and vis versa. Lastly Crayola For Educators is an app that allows you to look for colorful ways to decorate your classroom for each season of the year. Padlet is another website that would be helpful when teaching, this website is a lot like PearlTrees/ Pintrest, it's put into categories. You can search for whatever you're needing and different options will show up, you can put them into folders and have them organized by "sports, special education, music class", I think that would be very helpful for being a teacher. Ck-12 is a website somewhat like ACBYa just not as bright and colorful, but this could be a great resource for teachers and students. As a teacher you could give this website to students that are struggling in certain subjects, it would also be helpful as a students. You as a student can ask your teacher to send you the website so you can practice whichever things you're struggling in. My last resource is Siyavula, this website has math and science books for middle school and high school age students, as well as manuals for the teachers. This would be helpful as a teacher because you kind of have a "how to do" packet, which as a teacher would be helpful for those days that are just complete chaos.
Apps Used By Students:
Some apps I would use for my students in the future is BrainPOP: Featured Movie, an app that allows you to watch the BrainPOP videos. Another app I would use is Disney American Presidents, an app that allows them to learn about all of the US Presidents. The last app I would use is QuizLet, which is a great way to help students review, by using flashcards. I would also suggest Twitter for high school age because then the teacher can post when assignments are due so if the student is gone they can get the assignment that way, or if there's a snow day the teacher can Tweet out " Snow Day, assignment is still due when you get back". Another one I would suggest once again to high school students is Facebook, as a coach or director having a Facebook account dedicated only to the sport/activity you are the coach of so you can post practice updates. Another resource would be Google Classroom because the student can see all of the assignments, when they're due, and what the assignment guidelines are. BuzzMath is a website that I think would be super beneficial for students especially if their teacher isn't that great at explaining math to them. This website gives the students math problems and if they can't figure out the problem it will show them how to do this. A new app I found while researching is Google Hangouts, Google Hangouts is an app were teachers and students can connect with other students and video chat or message. I personally think that would be super cool for my future students, I could have them message/chat with students from around the world, giving them a little culture. The last resource for students I found was ABCYa, I think ABCYa is a super cool website I see my BOOST kids use it and even the older students enjoy it.

Social Bookmarking Tool:
Social Bookmarking: A social bookmarking website/ tool I found helpful was PearlTrees. PearlTrees is sort of like Pinterest for teachers. You are able to find things that will be beneficial to you and your students. I'm going to major in special education with a minor in history and I think Pearltrees would be very helpful for my special education classroom in the future. Because special education isn't like every other subject where you have set things you need to teach the children, so I can't just go off of the book my school provides for me. With Pearltrees I would be able to search for specifics in what I'm looking for to see if any other teachers have had the same struggles I might possibly have with my students.
