For Research, we looked at <a href=\"http:\/\/kiddle.co\">Kiddle<\/a> (<em>a kid-friendly search engine<\/em>) and the new <a href=\"http:\/\/earth.google.com\/web\/\">Google Earth<\/a> online (<em>you might need to open an Incognito window in Chrome to visit the site<\/em>). For Problem Solving, we shared <a href=\"http:\/\/cospaces.io\">CoSpaces<\/a> (<em>a site for creating virtual 3-D worlds with the ability to code different elements<\/em>) and <a href=\"http:\/\/abcya.com\/animate.htm\">ABCYa! Animate<\/a> (<em>a site for making animations<\/em>). Our Creativity webtools were <a href=\"http:\/\/storyboardthat.com\">StoryboardThat<\/a> (<em>for creating comics<\/em>) and <a href=\"http:\/\/wevideo.com\">WeVideo<\/a> (<em>for making movies<\/em>).  Finally, we shared two websites to help with Collaboration: <a href=\"http:\/\/padlet.com\">Padlet<\/a> (<em>an online bulletin board with many updated features<\/em>) and <a href=\"http:\/\/todaysmeet.com\">TodaysMeet<\/a> (<em>an easy-to-use private chat room that you can customize<\/em>). If you&#8217;d like to try some of these tools, let me know, and if you missed this year&#8217;s conference, be sure to attend next summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was our annual teacher conference, and this year our theme was &#8220;Field Day of the Future.&#8221; We trained our teachers to flex their technology muscles in new ways.
