GoNoodle

I have used GoNoodle for a while and my kids absolutely love it. They beg me to play one of the videos. I wanted to do this post to share this wonderful and free website with others. I learned that this website is used by homeschoolers as well. My class loves Pop See Ko on the Koo Koo Kangaroo channel. I wanted to share two more things as well. There is an option for you to add your own YouTube videos to your account. The Maximo and Empower Tools were designed in conjunction with a Yoga studio in New York. Sign up and start using this in your classroom!!! www.gonoodle.com

Periscope

Periscope- I have been a silent stalker on this little app for a while. I am eventually going to branch out and start my own but for now I will just learn from the many wonderful people that are helping me become a better teacher. Periscope is linked to your twitter account. You basically film yourself talking about something and your viewers can comment and ask questions. You can then answer the questions in your video. Viewers also give little hearts that show on the screen as well. Follow me on twitter @Reeseyc1 and you can find my Periscope followers. 

Blam.im- This one is pretty neat as well. It is a website and an app. You can join in and watch up to four people at a time. If one of the original hosts leaves their spot then an audience member can join in on the conversation. It is an easier way for the audience to interact as well because the people doing the show can talk or type back the answer in real time. The Teacher Blab Show is the one to follow for now. I have watched a few that are a WASTE of my time but I have learned a lot from The Teacher Blab Show.
