Ss working out math problems at the start of English class. Do Ss ever go to Math or Science and collaborate on their writing? #edchat #LiteracyMatters

I often tell Ss they need to read their work aloud to hear the flow and catch errors. naturalreaders.com is the best text to speech software I've seen. Many Ss need to do this in their editing process #edtech #literacy #writingtips
Some grade 10 Students just showed me anchor.fm/login as an easy to use free online software for making #podcasts. Looks great, excited to see what they can do with it #edchat #edtechchat #digitalliteracy

I've tried many times to find a perfect online mind mapping tool for Ss assignments. Some have been good, but none seem to have nailed it. Just discovered miro.com/, seems good? Anyone try it before? #edchat #edtech #EDUcators
