Useful Classroom Technology

​Here is some potentially useful classroom technology:
​
SmallPDF:

SmallPDF's homepage: ​https://smallpdf.com/
SmallPDF is an easy-to-use file conversion tool. It allows you to do a number of file conversions that can be slightly trickier, like converting PDFs to Word files or combining multiple PDFs into one, unified document. 
​Storify:

An article on potential uses of Storify: https://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/gradhacker/potential-uses-teaching-storify

Storify is a curation tool that allows users to create stories using posts from social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Storify could work very well for a multigenre assignment, or for collating various electronic texts. Students can also use Storify to gather information for research projects. 

Remind:

Are you looking for a fast, convenient way to communicate with your studnets? Do you think that your students look at their text messages more than their email? Then you might want to try Remind. Remind is a free, messaging  app that allows professors and students to communicate quickly and efficiently.  Remind  allows professors to send individual, small group, or whole class messages right to your students' phones.  One additional advantage of Remind is that no actual phone numbers are exchanged, so everyone's privacy remains in tact. To begin, start by downloading the Remind app to your smartphone or visit the website: http://www.remind.com.
