Webtools: No Registration Needed for Students Welcome to my list of webtools that don’t require student registration. This started off as a simple curation for myself and has ballooned into something that I never thought would get this big. And it is still growing. I started added comments to each link, but that is taking a long time to complete. Please bear with me as I update it. While I do try to verify each link on a regular basis, please be aware that websites do change and some of these sites may no longer be active or may have switched to a paid version. Free. Over the next while, I will be adding labels to each of these to designate whether you can use this site without any registration at all or will need the use of a class code given by the teacher. If you find a bad link, bad site, or any other error, please let me know through the comment section.

8 raisons de ne pas se mettre à Pinterest Comme tout blogueur qui se respecte, je me devais de vous faire un article parlant de Pinterest ! J’arrive un peu tard c’est vrai – le buzz Pinterest étant passé de quelques deux bons mois – mais ne dit-on pas « mieux vaut tard que jamais » ? D’autant plus que l’approche sera ici différente d’autres articles. Je vais donc vous donner non pas 8 raisons pour vous inscrire sur le réseau social Pinterest, mais 8 raisons de ne pas vous y inscrire ! Je vous fais tout de même un petit rappel : ce site est un média social vous permettant de vous créer un réseau autour d’images. Bref, commençons ! 1) Vous avez déjà Facebook et ça vous suffit Vous êtes un particulier et vous utilisez sûrement Facebook, d’ailleurs vous y passez beaucoup de temps par rapport à celui que vous passez en général sur internet.

The Complete Guide To Twitter Hashtags In Education What is a hashtag? A word or phrase preceded by a “#.” How do hashtags work? Twitter can be a busy place with lots of tweets–and thus lots of “noise.” A #hashtag is a way to aggregate tweets that are appended with a hashtag. Who can use hashtags? Anyone. What else do I need to know? Don’t hashtag spam–if your tweet doesn’t add to that hashtag’s topic, discussion, or user base, don’t add the hashtag.Use more than one hashtag if it applies to more than one topic, but choose wisely. Meeting Times Many of the hashtags have “meeting times” where educators agree to “meet and tweet”–that is, send out messages on a topic at a certain time on a certain day. If you do participate at the agreed upon time, you’ll see the tweets stream in live and participate in said conversation (via twitter) in what is nearly real-time. Note, this list of hashtags will be updated periodically, including reorganization, functional linking on all hashtags, and the addition of meeting times and focus areas. Popular Hashtags
