Just learned on Twitter about a collaborative online whiteboard called Bitpaper.io. Create a 'paper' and then share your paper URL with a friend. Sketch and create notes collaboratively, in real-time. Imagine students being able to sync their online whiteboard with a buddy & do step-by-step problem solving together. Some great teamwork and collaborations in the making! Challenge: Have students try collaborating with peers beyond their classroom! Follow #bitpaper on Twitter for ideas. Lots of educators sharing how they are using it in their classrooms. Try #appsmashing with Bitpaper, Pear Deck and Google Slides!! Whaaat!?! Soo cool. Click here to get the scoop on this! Watch video tutorial below for a quick intro of Bitpaper. Length of video: 1:23. Go to: explore.org/livecams. These animal cams are AMAZING!! There are tons of different cams to choose from; penguins, eagles, seals, elephants, honey bees, polar bears, sharks, other ocean life, and on and on. Observe animals in their natural environment, while others are observed in aquariums & zoos. Once you are on the website, look all the way to the top right, and click "ALL LIVE CAMS" to browse through their gallery. Some cams have sound and some have more than one stream, so you can view the animals from different angles. At the bottom of each, they give information about the location of the camera, best viewing times and general information about the animals.

Because it is fully integrated with Google, students can create & store unlimited maps directly in Google Drive, plus they can share & collaborate with their peers. Students can download their mind map into a outline in Google Docs, so that they can continue to edit their writing, or import their maps into docs, slides, etc. It is simple, clean & easy to use.
Padlet is essentially a digital bulletin board where you can post, bookmark or pin digital content, but it can also serve as a social learning community where students can create & collaborate using multiple medias, such as text, images, photos, video, audio and drawing. This is NEWSworthy!! One of the newest features they have added is the ability to screen record! You have to install the Padlet Mini extension first. SB teachers.. you can just go to the Chrome Web Store and add it to your account. We have already added it to our students' accounts, so they are good to go!
