Over the semester I listened to many podcasts from various people. From all of these, my favorite was Tech Chick Tips. In these podcasts two technologically savvy ladies discuss tools and tips for all educators. I really liked listening to them because they were energetic and clearly passionate about what they were discussing. They also always had show notes with hyperlinks right on the page where you listen to each podcast. I really liked this feature because I could go to the tool they were talking about while they were talking about it. On other podcast, the person might be talking about something that I didn’t understand because I couldn’t see it.
A few tools that I learned about from these ladies are Google Body Browser, Print, Cut, and Fold, and Google Art Project. Google Body Browser is a free tool that allows you to look at different layers of the human body. All you have to do is download the correct browser that supports it. This would be great to use in a biology class for student to do virtual dissections. Print, Cut, and Fold is another site that has downloadable PowerPoint templates that can printed, cut, and folded into many different things. These templates include everything from mini-books and flip books to dioramas and pyramids. Google Art Project is a tool kind of like Google Lit Trips. You can take your class on a virtual tour of some of the biggest art museums in the world. Students can see the artwork along with information about each one.
