This past week, I had the opportunity to give a couple presentations to the new year of 2015 Kenan Fellows at the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT). One of these presentations, “Every Teacher a Literacy Teacher Using Technology Tools“, introduced seven free technology tools that enable teachers of all content areas to embed the literacy skills of reading, writing, speaking, and listening into their instruction and facilitate the use of higher level thinking skills with their students.
I screencasted this presentation and have shared it below. The original 50-minute presentation has been boiled the down to just over 20 minutes, but as with any flipped lesson, it provides the benefit of being able to pause, re-watch, or rewind. I hope others find it useful. I plan to share the other presentation, “Simplifying a Teacher’s Life: Free Technology Tools for Assessment” soon.
- Care to share your experience or planned use for any of these tools?
- Have a favorite?
- Know a great tool I missed?

Several of theses were new to me so will be investigating them more (Subtext, ActivelyLearn, Hemmingwayapp). Love the + and -‘s technique you use to help in your evaluation model. Two more you might investigate if you haven’t already used them: Padlet and ZooBurst. Thanks for all the tips you provide!

Hi Kim,
I love padlet as a way to collect links and student work! I’ve not tried ZooBurst, but I can’t wait to check it out! Thanks for the tip!
