Technological Resources
As technology is on the rise in our society today, I think it is a crucial tool to incorporate within the classroom. In this library, you will find several technological platforms beneficial to students and teachers as well.
Animaker
Animaker is an interactive platform where students will be able to create their own animations. This platform provides a variety of characters, text bubbles, facial expressions and much more for students.
I chose this website because I have used it before and have seen the benefits this offers students. This allows students to engage with the class material in a fun way.

This website is a fun platform that I could incorporate into the classroom from my experience. As well it is rather simple to navigate which will be great for students.

Flipgrid
Flipgrid is a great website that helps build community in the classroom. The teacher will create a discussion topic, and students will record themselves and post their short videos with the class.
Flipgrid is a great tool, especially in a time of online learning. Teachers will be able to form a sense of community by sharing videos themselves as well as students sharing stories, ideas and understandings.

AnchorFm is a great tool that can be used for creating engaging podcasts. This was something I used with my grade 6 students where they were able to independently discover the platform and create their podcasts using songs, sounds and much more.
