I struggle with promoting products that have a free entry point, but that becomes prohibitively expensive to use for more than a week or two. I saw a product demonstrated that is to make 5 tutorial videos, and then it’s 7.50 per month, per teacher, and only includes student access and Google Classroom integration at the paid level. Padlet: virtual discussion board, brainstorming board, etc.ScreencastifyPopplet Social MediaThe scary stuff that constantly gets renamed and prevents adults from participating: House Party - up to 8 participants in a video chat Has a feature called “Stranger Danger” When a friend of your friend joins the party, or one of your friends who doesn’t know everyone in the room joins, that’s a time for Stranger Danger. Or, party time! Musical.ly - started as a lip-syncing video app; not so innocent anymore Live.ly - live broadcast of whatever you’re doing; never private; open to the world YouNow - users can tip content providers; users want to get money; will respond to requests After School - students only; other users confirm new users who have to identify which school they go to; adults “faking” will be booted by student users Yubo - identifies itself as the “Tinder for Teens” Monkey - video hangout based on a tree of commonality - meet strangers! Omegle - intended purpose is for you to meet strangers Ghost/Vault apps - apps that appear to be something else but hide other content Burner apps - provide a burner phone number to ring on your device; when cancelled, disappears Design ThinkingMove towards designing assessments that approach a problem to be solved rather than a list of questions to be answered.

MyPD is a program for teachers to develop their own plan for professional development. A teacher can earn 10 SCECH hours by learning what that teacher thinks is important for his or her own professional development. There is a $30 fee, but the PD is the teacher’s own making, and in those situations where a teacher might be missing a few hours from their District Provided Professional Development, this is a very affordable way to make up those hours. Also mention EduPaths, which is free. MACUL grants... Transcripts are still in the works...getting there.  Enjoy the show!
