3 Different Visual applications

 There are many fun, easy and professional apps that one can use to further a child’s/students educational development. Today everyone can have the ability to create anything with a click of a button. Educators must adapt to fit today’s classrooms expectations by not only teaching the correct curriculum, but enhancing the curriculum by using technology. Here are three an educator can use with their classroom.

One will be the incredible Google Slides, https://www.google.com/slides/about/ Google slide is an easily accessible slide formatting app which allows you to create almost anything you set your mind to. An easy way it can be used will be to create a collaboration with your class which allows you to view the students own work, and it will allow for the students to easily access and present the class assignment with one another.  It is a gateway app that any student from any grade level can benefit from and learn from the apps and gain some basic computer skills. 

On another note Google slides are able to save all work the students have done. And will make the experience of grading and viewing work faster and easier than ever. 

In interesting website would be Toytheatre.com, https://toytheater.com/ which it is a fun interactive way to learn whilst playing learning games. It enhances critical thinking and held visual learners. Websites like these can help aid a students curiosity in a subject and it can bring out a students competitive side making them want to be better at the game and want to learn more. It is interactive in the way we as educators and choose a subjcct for our students to work on, and find a way to connect to the curriculum. 


In addition we have Voki https://l-www.voki.com an exciting intuitive platform that allows the student to create an avatar who can speak for them. This app/website is very useful when it comes to timid and not confident students who don’t feel comfortable speaking in front of the class and mouse for the students to create an avatar who can represent themselves and give presentations on any subject matter. Although Voki is very useful, unfortunately, it does have a price. I for example, I would love to explore the possibilities and the ideas behind AI instructors, giving online virtual lessons and assignments. This will help students connect with virtual world and learn about these new techniques..
