One of our new favorite apps is Tools 4 Students. This app is a
collection of 25 different graphic organizers that students can fill in
on their iPads. When complete, the organizers can be saved as either a
photo or PDF and then shared through email or linked to Dropbox.
This
great selection of organizers makes the app useful for a variety of
content areas. Students can complete Character organizers or
Beginning-Middle-End organizers for Language Arts. The Compare/Contrast
organizer would be helpful for life science as you compare and contrast
different animal species or organ systems. As you study historical
events in Social Studies, the Cause/Effect organizer would work really
well. As you start a new unit, have students complete the KWL or KWLW
organizers to show what they already know about a topic and what they
would like to learn during the unit. Just a few examples but you can see
how this app could be used in a variety of ways.
Here are some example of Tools 4 Students in action in a classroom!
