Trello

 Here is my Trello for the web 2.0 tools for teaching that I have mentioned on my blog before: https://trello.com/b/BXwlvMU4/materials-2021

Voki

To use Voki, obviously, you need to create an account if you don't have one already. After opening your account you can simply log in and start to explore more on Voki. If you click on the button that says Classroom, you can view your classroom or create one. To create Voki, you can click on the create button. As you can see so far, using Voki is so simple, there is a button for everything you want to do. 

When you click create button it gives you an avatar, you can customize your avatar with the options Voki provides and also change your avatar with something else. After your avatar is set, you click the button on the bottom to save audio for your avatar. You write the text with your keyboard and choose the language you have written so that it can show you different accents on that language which has been voiced by different voices. 

It is really helpful to hear different accents and understanding them for language learners and Voki provides it. You can also record your voice so that would be amazing benefit if you want to give some pronunciation assignments for your students. Let's watch video below for detailed explanation.

Jamboard

Jamboard may be the best tool for online education because in online education you want your students to collaborate with the class but it is harder than it sounds. Jamboard makes it easier. Why? Let's find out. 

Jamboard is something like an online whiteboard. Let me explain how to use this online whiteboard to make this familiarization more clear. Unlike many web tools that I have explained, you can open your Jamboard account by your Google account. You can simply open the tool with your browser that is logged in to your Google account. 

With the Google Jamboard, you can create collaborative whiteboards, slides with the features that it provides. Such as sticky notes, a pen for drawing as well as an eraser for erasing, image upload, a circle tool for adding circles, text boxes, a laser for pointing stuff on your board, and a selector for selecting board elements. So it really is like a digital whiteboard as you can see. 

Finally, you can share them with your students via Google or you can download them and share it with them. For a more detailed explanation of how to use Google Jamboard, you can watch the video below.

 

Padlet

Padlet is a web tool that is similar to Edmodo. firstly let's talk about opening an account and later how can it be used as a tool in education. 

Like many other web tools at first, you need to open an account. After that, you should click the Create a New Padlet in order to, well obviously, create a new padlet wall. If you click the Modify This Wall you can place a title and a description about your new project. You can also change the wallpaper, layout to stream, grid, and freeform. 

By using Padlet you can upload images, links, audio files, documents, or videos for your students to see. In order to start posting you can simply double click anywhere on the board, you can drag your files or paste the files you wish to share. You can also click the plus icon on the lower right to do the same thing. 

You can make your Padlet board open to the public or put on a password for your students only. You can share the link with your students for them to join. In Padlet, students can also share on the board as well as you so it's like a platform where you create your class's resource with the help of students. For more details, you know what to do.

Pear Deck

 Pear Deck is a web tool that can be used to create interactive slides. Teachers use it to make presentations to enhance learning. 

In order to use Pear Deck, the teacher should create a slide, after opening the account of course. Then the teacher should create a class code similar to the other web tools teacher gives the class code to the students for them to join. That's it. It is as simple as that. In order to back up, let's watch the video below.
