Resources

  • PageKeeper – quickly and easily create a webpage of links to share with your students and parents. Free with no advertising! Best example of its use: DJBecker’s Page
  • DrivingKids – Here’s a first – we talk about something we pointedly do not recommend. Listen to the podcast to find out why! Well, okay – it’s because the navigation is clunky, the games aren’t easily discernible to ability level and the chat has very little protection for kids
  • SmartPhone Filters – discussion of filtering on smartphones for students/kids and a link to one such application for the iPhone
  • WebSlides on Diigo – turn a collection of bookmarks (or an RSS feed!) into a slideshow. Look for an example at the end of this, and all forthcoming podcast episode notes
  • TweetCall – call in your Twitter updates for free!

  • GeoLogTag ($4.99 @iTunes) – use your iPhone as a geotagger to snyc up your photos with your location
