"Thing Thirteen"
   For this thing I chose educreation. I love this app! A few days ago I had a teacher ask me to show her how she could use it in her classroom. She wanted to use it for a 6th grade vocabulary lesson during an iobservation. She is one of my less tech savvy teachers but is always willing to learn something new.  We decided to use the educreation app, the Merrian-Webster Dictionary and Airplay. She handed out vocab words to groups of students the students looked up the definition using the dictionary app.  They then used the educreation app and uploaded a picture that represented the vocab word onto the whiteboard. The kids then typed the vocab word on the whiteboard they recorded the definition and used it in a sentence. After everyone was done they used Airplay to reflect it onto the classroom smart board. Every kids was really into the assignment the teacher didn't have to worry about trying to keep the children on task. The next day they came to the library where I had them get on Google Drive and create a test in Google forms for the vocabulary words they had learned the day before. I had them come up with two wrong, but close answers and of course a right answer. They had to do ten vocab words. I had them do the first five definition answers, the last five they could either do definition or how the word is used correctly in a sentence according to the definition. The children really enjoyed using Google Drive for this lesson. The principal was impressed because a classroom teacher was working with a specialist.
