Fun with Chrome Experiments
It's Chrome Experiment time! I love Chrome Experiments! They are always fun, easy-to-navigate sites that are perfect to set up inquiry projects for students. They let you explore something you may not know a ton about, play around and then you want to know more! So this week, we are having a little fun exploring some experiments.View the post: https://smartinwi.com/088-fun-with-chrome-experimentsTech Discussed in This Episode• Play a Kandinsky • NASA Visual Universe• Blob Opera• Puzzle PartyFind all of the tools we've discussed in the EdTech Directory: https://smartinwi.com/edtech-directory/Get in touch: https://smartinwi.comhttps://www.twitter.com/smartinwihttps://www.facebook.com/smartinwitechtoolsforteacherpodcast@gmail.com©2021 Snoring Dog Media, LLC.

Chrome Extensions for Student Accessibility
It's our job as educators to ensure that all students (and adults) have the tools they need to learn. We have chatted about a few Chrome Extensions in the past, including Google Read & Write. However, with SO many extensions out there, we thought an episode focused solely on Chrome Extensions for accessibility would be helpful. We are discussing four tools today, and that doesn't even scratch the surface of the tools out there! Hopefully, these extensions will help support a few of your students or people you know!View the post: https://smartinwi.com/087-chrome-extensions-for-student-accessibilityTech Discussed in This Episode• Substital• Screen Shader• Volume Master• VisionFind all of the tools we've discussed in the EdTech Directory: https://smartinwi.com/edtech-directory/Get in touch: https://smartinwi.comhttps://www.twitter.com/smartinwihttps://www.facebook.com/smartinwitechtoolsforteacherpodcast@gmail.com©2021 Snoring Dog Media, LLC.

Training Students to be Good Digital Citizens
With so many kids learning and sharing online, we need to teach them how to navigate the internet appropriately. Just like students learning to have good phone etiquette back in the day, kids now need to learn how to function appropriately online. Digital citizenship can be integrated into any classroom and should be reviewed regularly so that as students are exposed to more situations, they know how to make better decisions. This week we have several resources to help you in K-12 classrooms to support great digital citizens.View the post: https://smartinwi.com/086-training-students-to-be-good-digital-citizensTech Discussed in This Episode• Common Sense Media• Digital Compass• InterlandFind all of the tools we've discussed in the EdTech Directory: https://smartinwi.com/edtech-directory/Get in touch: https://smartinwi.comhttps://www.twitter.com/smartinwihttps://www.facebook.com/smartinwitechtoolsforteacherpodcast@gmail.com©2021 Snoring Dog Media, LLC.
