3. Google Research Tool
• 1. Google Research Tool- There is a Research
Tool in Google Docs that allows students to
search Google and cite sources. This would be
beneficial for the times when the databases don’t
have exactly what you need. Google Research

5. Three Ring
• 2. Three Ring- Three Ring is a tablet and
mobile app that allows teachers and students to
snap a photo of written work, capture video of
presentations, or record audio of student
discussions -- all for the sake of supporting
classroom organization. I imagine using this for
my SLO documentation as well as student
portfolios. Three Ring Overview Video.

7. eduClipper
• 3. eduClipper- A nicely designed web-based tool that
teachers and students can use to collect materials--from
digital text, video or other files on their computer,
Google Drive, or even embedded code from other
presentations or websites--and then share them in nifty
Pinterest-like collections. This would be perfect for
student portfolios. eduClipper Overview Video.
*Works best in Chrome
*Great for Student Portfolios
*Can upload large files
*Organize content specific for school
9. Ponder
• 4. Ponder- A “micro-reading response” tool that allows
students and teachers to engage with each other when
reading articles. Teachers can create a reading list for
their class, selecting the sources (NY Times, ESPN.com,
etc.) from which students can access articles. Teachers
then make a list of topics that students can use to tag
articles relevant to their current coursework. This would
be great for close-reading with online text. Ponder Video.
*Must be approved for an account-this may take a couple
of days
*Requires students to create an account for each class
using an email address
