Communicate and Collaborate Virtually

Created by two high school students in San Jose, California (and one college freshman), Stoodle is a free collaborative online whiteboard allowing students to connect with their teacher, tutors, or peers to work on homework assignments or illustrate a drawing to show their thought process in real time. It’s as simple as creating an account and sharing the URL. Communication occurs on a virtual whiteboard with infinite pages through voice conferencing and text chat, upload images, and annotate using basic drawing tools and colors. It works on desktops, tablets and iOS devices.

Wetland Biodome App for K-5

The iBiome – Wetland app for the iPad is an engaging way for students aged 9–11 to learn about a variety of wetland ecosystems. By drawing connections between different species and creating a web, students learn about producers and consumers, and predator–prey relationships. Students can explore three wetland habitats: freshwater marsh, saltwater marsh, and mangrove swamp. They have tasks in each habitat, or “biodome,” such as identifying consumers, producers, and environmental factors. After students complete a task, a new species is unlocked. The species gets placed in a virtual journal, where students can tap to learn more about all of the species they have unlocked. Students can also experiment with their biodomes by adding species to see how they affect the biome.
