Top 15 ICT tools review

ED PUZZLE: Turn videos into interesting and engaging tasks by introducing questions and comments into Youtube and Vimeo videos. It can be a very interesting scaffolding tool.

1.

PADLET: an easy digital board where you can post ideas, share and debate

2.

QUIZLET: create quizzes online. It offers a wide variety of games to practise vocabulary and it is extremely easy to prepare since it includes a vast image bank to illustrate the words.

3.

NEWSPAPER GENERATOR & FODEY: students can create fake newspaper clippings or complete news where they narrate events or defend ideas. The tool is extremely easy to use. The aim is to foster our students’ self-esteem with a newspaper article that will look more authentic than a word document or a handwritten article, being able to add an interesting (or impacting!) picture and using the layout as if it were a “real newspaper”.

4.

No tutorials needed, it is so easy!

STORY WARS: a great web tool to create stories by starting one with an open end. The teacher can then send the link to students and they are asked to complete the story within a specific deadline. Once the deadline is met, stories are all made public, readers can vote for the best one and then a story chapter is completed and users can then start a new one.

5.

KAHOOT: challenging quizzes with quick questions that have live results and awards.

6.

VOICETHREAD: Turn an image into a source of debate, a source of inspiration or a place where students can share their ideas.

7.

THINGLINK: enrich images with links, videos and information spots. Make projects more engaging.

8.

VOKI: Turn a speaking avatar into a powerful tool to help the students improve their speaking skills.

9.

POPPLET: It is a tool that allows users to visualize ideas. Teachers and students can create graphic organizers, timelines, and many other forms of visual organization. Popplet's strength as a collaborative brainstorming tool, however, should not lead teachers to overlook its usefulness as an effective presentation tool.

10.

TIME TOAST: it is an easy to use tool that allows students and teachers alike to add interactivity to the timelines that they create. It is simple to create an account and begin to build your own timeline, or if you prefer, to search for projects built by other members. You can use it to create historical timelines of important events, build a timeline for any project (from your hot new product launch to plan your next family vacation!). It's up to you and your imagination.

11.

BUNCEE: it is a poster and slide creator with lots of possibilities where you can include images, videos, texts, links,... It is also a good possibility for storytelling.

12.

STORYBIRD: "The world needs your stories!". It is a beautiful site where students can create nice stories or picture books by using arts from hundreds of artists who have collaborated to make Storybird one of the most successful storytelling resources in the net.

13.

CANVA: Can an image be turned into an idea, into a poem?

14.

GRAPHEINE BOMBAY TV: Time for good fun. Turn Bollywood and B-movie clips into short stories where students rewrite dialogues.
