Here are the latest updates for nurhasaan10@gmail.com "Free Technology for Teachers" - 2 new articlesCanva, Search, and Goodbye - The Week in ReviewGood morning from Maine where it's a cold and breezy December morning. It was a busy and sad week here at the Free Technology for Teachers world headquarters (AKA, my house). This week I hosted or co-hosted a couple of webinars including the last live episode of Two Ed Tech Guys Take Questions and Share Cool Stuff. And on Wednesday morning, we said goodbye to our loyal dog, Mason. Mason was a great dog that we adopted when he was already nine years old. He was by the side of our daughters for all of their lives. Until he got too weak to climb the stairs on his own, every evening he would check my daughters' bedrooms before he settled down for the evening. As we said a few times this week, there were times when it seemed like he was the only one not going crazy in our house in the days of having two babies who didn't sleep through the night. We miss him. And now for what you expected on Saturday morning, here's the list of this week's most popular posts: 1. 50 Canva Tutorials for Teachers2. A Few New Search Tools from Google 3. Ten Good Tools for Making Multimedia Timelines 4. Biographies in Infographic Form 5. A Handful of Resources for Computer Science Education Week 6.

New Base Map Options on FeltFelt is a new digital mapping tool that I've featured a few times in the last month because I think it is fantastic alternative to Google's My Maps and the web version of Google Earth for creating custom maps. In fact, I like it so much that I demonstrated it in my Best of the Web 2022 webinar. The next day Felt sent out an email announcing new base map options. The new base map options on Felt.com include a set of default maps that you can pick from to apply to your custom map. You can customize those base maps by turning some of their features on or off. There's also a new option to customize the color scheme of your base map on Felt. All of the new base map options are demonstrated in my new video that is embedded below. Applications for Education One of the reasons that I like Felt is that it is far easier for students to use to create custom maps than Google's My Maps is to use for the same purpose. Felt includes more, easy-to-use customization tools than My Maps includes. For example, students can quickly customize a map on Felt by picking any of the data layers to have automatically applied and then use the drawing and highlighting tools to annotate their maps. Watch the videos that are embedded below to learn more about how to use Felt. Video - Felt Offers a Great Way to Create Custom Maps Video - Two Cool Mapping Tools on Felt.com More Recent Articles |
