In one of our assignments for class, we were required to explore five new technology pieces that we are not familiarized with. In the five technology pieces I have discovered, I have grown to love them and start to incorporate more into my classes.
The five technology pieces I have discovered are:
Wix - Wix is user friendly and easy to use when using the blog post feature. All you must do is create the blog and when completed, just post it. You can put a title to your post and once completed you can share the link to your blog and share it to multiple people. I’ve also played around with the feature which lets you create websites. It’s very similar to google sites where you can get very creative. It has features where you can build your site pages, have mobile sites, and create animations to be built into your website. It has plenty of tutorial videos to help you get started.
Padlet - Padlet is a platform anyone could use for collaboration. When playing around with a Padlet, the first thing you need to do is add a question or topic to your board. The next step is to have multiple people post a note to the topic. Teachers can utilize this by asking a question and having the students add a new post and answer the question. You can also use Padlet as a poll at the end of a session or PD and use it for immediate feedback or concerns.
Nearpod- Nearpod is another excellent resource I discovered for teachers to use to incorporate into their classroom. There are plenty of ways the teachers can use to create lessons. Not only can you create lessons, but you can add interactive questions throughout your lessons
Magic School AI - . When I first heard about this program, I was shocked to hear “Educators use MagicSchool to help lesson plan, differentiate, write assessments, write IEPs, communicate clearly, and more (MagicSchool 2025).
WizerMe - WizerMe is an educational resource which allows you to create or even make your own online worksheets. You can, “publish, grow, and earn together in a teachers’ creator marketplace that makes the world Wizer” (WizerMe 2025). To find worksheets which are already made, you can look up a topic from your content and find a worksheet works for you. Or you can create your own worksheet.
