USEFUL LIST OF ANNOTATED WEB RESOURCES AND TOOLS FOR ADUTL EDUCATORS AND LEARNERS

 

  • Kanopy: Such a wonderful resource for educational videos. Offering a wide range of topic, themes and types, this web is where you can find most of the videos which can enlighten your knowledge and perspectives.

  • Ted-Ed: Old but gold educational resource. In addition to watching inspirational videos, teachers and students can also create video-based lessons themselves to support both teaching and learning process via https://ed.ted.com/.

  • Padlet: A collaborative environment for online learning communities. It is where you can freely add your posts with pictures or other files to introduce yourself, share your ideas, start a discussion or just leave your friends a message, comments. I love the visual display of Padlet, which puts everyone’s post on the same page, creates a strong sense of collaboration and co-contribution. Moreover, for individual purposes, Padlet can be used as a diary to store your learning materials and reflections. Join or make your own Padlet here: https://padlet.com/dashboard#

  • Creatly: A come-in-handy tool for brainstorming and creating concept maps. There is a wide range of available templates suitable for each map’s theme (Engineering, IT, Sales, etc) and of course, you can design your own concept map within a few clicks of your mouse. I find it very useful when I tried to summarize an academic paper because the concept map could show the paper’s content in a concise, logical and easy-to-follow way. You can see my concept map, and maybe you can try with your own one at https://app.creately.com/diagram/mHwzEMECflY/edit

  • Thinglink: Try something new rather than Powerpoint? Teachers might find this web valuable when they need to design an online lecture. This tool offers convenient functions to add text, media, links to other websites to develop the lecture’s content with a visually attractive display. Start with your online lectures at https://www.thinglink.com/welcome

  • Slido: this web helps promote an interactive and democratic atmosphere in class. All participants can freely ask questions, join discussions, vote in polls at any time. Also, teachers can find it easy to create quizzes for both social and academic purposes. Design your own dynamic learning environment via https://www.sli.do/.

  • Renderforest: It is where teachers can transmit the lecture’s content through video instead of blackboard or Powerpoint. With state-of-the-art tools and templates, this web can help you save much time to create lively videos to support your lecture. Students also may benefit from this tool when they want to deliver their class presentations in a more interesting way. Make your video at https://www.renderforest.com/project/new-1011/start
