3. Google Research Tool
• 1. Google Research Tool- There is a Research

search Google and cite sources. This would be

5. Three Ring
• 2. Three Ring- Three Ring is a tablet and
mobile app that allows teachers and students to
snap a photo of written work, capture video of
presentations, or record audio of student
discussions -- all for the sake of supporting
classroom organization. I imagine using this for
my SLO documentation as well as student
portfolios. Three Ring Overview Video.

7. eduClipper
• 3. eduClipper- A nicely designed web-based tool that
teachers and students can use to collect materials--from
digital text, video or other files on their computer,
Google Drive, or even embedded code from other
presentations or websites--and then share them in nifty
Pinterest-like collections. This would be perfect for
student portfolios. eduClipper Overview Video.

9. Ponder
• 4. Ponder- A “micro-reading response” tool that allows
students and teachers to engage with each other when
reading articles. Teachers can create a reading list for
their class, selecting the sources (NY Times, ESPN.com,
etc.) from which students can access articles. Teachers
then make a list of topics that students can use to tag
articles relevant to their current coursework. This would
be great for close-reading with online text. Ponder Video.
*Must be approved for an account-this may take a couple
of days
*Requires students to create an account for each class
using an email address
