I am a physics teacher. This list is being built up to keep track of online resources I have found useful in my teaching and planning. This is a mix of organisational tools, flipped learning tools, quizzing, and learning/activities for students.
Sign up using either Facebook or Google+ account, load your docs, invite the team, start collaborating and brainstorming.
This is Padlet on steroids. It is an infinitely large board, that can be used to collect and curate an enormous range of material. I have found this useful in brainstorming, course planning, etc. Content can be embedded and is directly accessible on the board.
I can see massive potential for this in the classroom, where students working on similar projects, or in the same class, will be able to collectively create, curate and pool resources. The visual layout allows for overview. Doing this will probably require a premium account, which allows unlimited collaborators on a board.
Planboard helps teachers streamline lesson plans, find resources, and collaborate with others. Align with school's schedule. Integrate and track curriculum standards, such as Common Core State Standards, Ontario Curriculums, TEKS, and more. Share lesson plans to the world and collaborate with colleagues.
An account gives you more superpowers, like X-Ray vision.
Socrative lets teachers engage and assess their students with educational activities on tablets, laptops and smartphones. Through the use of real time questioning, instant result aggregation and visualization, teachers can gauge the whole class' current level of understanding. Socrative saves teachers time so the class can further collaborate, discuss, extend and grow as a community of learners.
Crafted using a design-led approach, Kahoot! is a web-based mobile and tablet friendly platform. With a simple user experience, it creates a social, fun and game-like environment in the classroom.
Online screen recorder for one-click recording for free.
Camtasia gives you the tools you need to record on-screen activity, edit and enhance your content, and share in high-quality to viewers anywhere.
Our application makes it easy to sketch and share professional diagrams. From brainstorming to project management, we support all of your communication needs. This add-on for Google Docs makes already useful collaborative tool more versatile.
Doctopus gives teachers the ability to mass-copy (from a starter template), share, monitor student progress, and manage grading and feedback for student projects in Google Drive.
Another google add-on, which allows you to use Forms to create self-marking tests.
This extension launches the Goobric web app, a rubric based assessment tool that works with the Doctopus Add-on for Google Sheets.
If you use rubrics (e.g. #solotaxomony rubrics) for assessment and google classroom or docs for assignment submission, this is really a must. It makes the process of providing directed feedback so much more efficient.
Canva makes design simple for everyone. Create designs for Web or print: blog graphics, presentations, Facebook covers, flyers, posters, invitations and so much more.
We provide teachers online resources for their classroom. For students, we offer online courses, tutorials, and a pathway to an affordable college credit.
PhET provides #simulated_experiments and #digital_learning_opportunities in #science (mainly #physics). The simulations are carefully created to be at once scientifically accurate, and pedagogically helpful (i.e. addressing key misconceptions, highlighting aspects with which students often struggle).
Tracker is a free video analysis and modeling tool built on the Open Source Physics (OSP) Java framework. It is designed to be used in physics education. Tracker video modeling is a powerful new way to combine videos with computer modeling.
