As the classroom starts to move into the digital age, it is very important to organize and save all of our digital tools and resources. Soon all my students will have a device. I want to start creating lesson plans that are based in the digital world. There is so much available on the web that it becomes very overwhelming. I know that I often bookmark everything that I can find and then my favorites list is a mile long. I have to search through all the items to find what I need. It is going to be very important for me to organize everything as I create my lesson plans. I do not want to "recreate the wheel" each year.
There are some great digital tools available to aid in organizing digital curriculum. I love the idea of creating Symbaloo pages. I teach 6 different math course. I plan on creating a Symbaloo page for each of my math courses. I can share these with my students. The students and I can edit and make changes to these pages as needed.
Another great tool are Live Binders. You can organize all your favorite websites into a digital binder. I am well known for loving binders. If you enter my classroom, I have several book cases filled with overstuffed binders. These binders are a collection of my 16 years of teaching. I love the idea that you can create a digital binder. Maybe I clean off some of those bookshelves!
My goal is to find organizing tools so that anytime I find a great website, I can easily save it and organize it for my classes.
