Tech Tools: TED, Tellagami, Gooru, Bitly, & PhotoFunia


Create Lessons Worth Sharing around YouTube videos












What is Tellagami?
Tellagami is a mobile app that lets you create and share a quick animated message called a Gami.









Ready to give it a try? Check out this short tutorial to get you started on this new tool!
Classroom Applications: Let students create gamis to share what they've learned and/or present information to their peers.
*I'm planning to try this out when we study historical events and to bring student biographies to life online!




Imagine a teaching tool that streamlines your class preparation process. With Gooru, a free search engine for learning, you can quickly find topic-relevant, standards-aligned resources and organize them into teachable and sharable “collections” — all in one place. 






bit.ly allows users to shorten, share, and track links (URLs). 
Reducing the URL length makes sharing easier 
(especially for younger students who have trouble typing in long address links)

Classroom Tip: Use Bitly for student research links

PhotoFunia is the best way to add a spark to your photos, make them special and more original. In only a few seconds an amazing photo collage is ready, absolutely free. PhotoFunia is so straight forward to use, that anyone, at any age, can use it with ease.
