This tool is a language arts tool that uses illustrations to inspire users in order to write stories and encourage the ongoing writing practice with badges and other rewards. these are short and art-inspired stories and they are fun to create and share. It allows children to work with their families and friends to create art-inspired stories to share.

PINTEREST



Hello everyone. In this post, I want to introduce you to my Pinterest account and give you some information about this social network. It is a platform that you can easily find inspiration and ideas for their interests and hobbies. All the ideas are represented by a Pin which means an image that is searched and saved by Pinterest users.

In my Pinterest account, you can find Pins related to travel, inspiration, and motivation. But of course, you can use this tool for educational goals as well. For now, I just want to have fun and learn more about this platform. Later on, I will pin some educational images and share with you.

Socrative Task



Hi guys,

I have a quick task via Socrative application. If you have never heard of Socrative App, long story short, it is a cloud-based student response system that allows teachers to create simple quizzes or tasks. By this app, students can easily go online and support their answers and as a teacher, you can follow up their responses any time you want to.

Here is a small piece of task that I created for you in order to let you have an idea about that application. Enjoy.

Blackboard Learning


Hi people,

I would like to give some information about a virtual learning management tool that is called "blackboard". Blackboard is a learning and teaching tool that allows universities or faculties to add class materials and resources for learners to access them online. lots of applications can be used and added to Blackboard and students and learners can follow up. This online learning management system can help learners to enhance their learning efforts and teachers to enhance their teaching efforts as well.

I strongly advise you to go online and take a look at this learning management system and if you are a faculty member or a teacher, create an account and start to use this tool for your classes and your students.
