A very cool digital tool for teachers to use is a website called todaysmeet.com. This website reminds me of twitter. It gives the students a chance to check and make sure what you are saying is valid. This technology can allow anybody to check credibility. I would use this is my classroom if I were lecturing. I like this because students can discuss and ask questions without interrupting the teacher. When you type a question another student can answer, it's pretty cool! This would be great for those shy or slow to warm-up students! Another website that I absolutely loved was voki. Voki is a website that allows you to build a character. You make up the entire character from scratch. From the nose to the hair, to the voice, and it lets you choose a background. I really want to use this in my classroom. My students would love this. Especially the different accents that are available. I think I will use voki to introduce a new topic during our class meeting. It will give the students something different to look at and listen to, instead hearing and seeing me all the time. I believe my students will respond well to this because they are young and would love to watch a new character that they have never seen before.
