  7. Polleverywhere • .  Steve, I subscribed to that polling website (polleverywhere.com – you gave to me last summer) where I can show an AP question and have the kids vote on the correct response.  I should show you how it works sometime but it’s free (as long as the kids have free texting).  Lots better than getting expensive clickers in my opinion.  Thanks! Karen

  9. Document Cameras • Avermedia • Snap Shots • Videos • I use my document camera every day. As an art and digital design teacher, my doc cam makes it easy to demonstrate skills like drawing techniques or changing f-stops on a camera, and the entire class can see what I am doing on the projector. I can display something from my computer at the same time like an assignment rubric, a video tutorial, or the day's lesson plan. My doc cam can be used as a scanner, a digital camera, or even a video recorder. I use my doc cam to take photos of student artwork, create step-by-step demonstrations, and in a pinch, scan documents I don't have digital copies of - all of which are saved to my computer to be uploaded to my teacher website. The document camera is like the chef's knife of technology in the classroom; it serves so many purposes, it's practically indispensable. - Kyle Genther, Newport High School Teacher
