Bring texting alive by allowing students to send in a message for immediate viewing by the entire class on the Smart Board. Wifitti is a digital bulletin board that allows students to text in their messages for immediate viewing. This is excellent for brainstorming activities, answers to homework, group work discussions, student reflections, etc. Once you create a screen, students can post messages to it anytime and anywhere as long as they have their cell phone. Those without cell phones can post to the site using a computer.

Are your students getting bored with taking notes from PowerPoint? Prezi is a web tool that brings presentations to life! It is a much simpler and fancier version of PowerPoint. PREZI allows you to create unbelievably dynamic presentations. In the classroom, Prezi allows you to explore concepts, diagrams and timelines and the zooming capabilities helps the student understand the main focal point. You can also incorporate supplemental material such as images and videos very easily. It lets you create a sort of walking path through your presentation that makes it engaging and striking.
