Ed Tech Digest

“Ten years ago, in another somewhat futile attempt to reduce the backlog of resources I want to share, I began this occasional “Ed Tech Digest” post where I share three or four links I think are particularly useful and related to…ed tech, including some Web 2.0 apps. You might also be interested in checking out all my edtech resources . Here are this week’s choices: Story Chain lets you create collaborative stories with people you choose. I’m adding it to The Best Sites For Collaborative Storytelling . Chronopress is an online game where you have to put historical events in the correct order, like the NY Times Flashback game . Tiny Tools Stack is yet another free screen recorder. I’m adding it to The Best Tools For Making Screencasts . Web Archives is a browser extension that, theoretically, gives you the archived version of webpages, including ones, theoretically, that have been behind paywalls. RemovePaywalls is supposed to do something similar. Personally, if I find that I want to access resources/articles from a site often, I feel it’s necessary for me to subscribe. But, if it’s an article from a site I want to access once or twice a year, I don’t feel bad using one of these tools. Cosmos provides access to a zillion images in the public domain. I’m adding it to The Best Online Sources For Images . The Library of Congress has a “Free To Use” site highlighting their public domain images. I’m adding it to the same list. The Newseum has a well-known collection of daily front page newspaper articles from around the world. Now, there’s an alternative to it called Papers From Today . I’m adding it to The Best Tools To Help Develop Global Media Literacy .
