Jessica Álvarez's curator insight, November 17, 2016 8:16 PM
Are you tired of spending your time looking for new web tools and mobile apps ? 
Yes, the world provides us a plenty of useful technological tools every day in order to innovate the way in we are learning and teaching in the 21th century.
 Technology in the Classroom? Yes, of course! As a teacher in development, I have to face a new challenge related to the technology, however, I always try to find a way to safely incorporate the technology in the classroom and of course to do my homework! 
I really recommend you this article, if you want to be updated about the latest releases in the world of educational technology and this article provides us new tools to incorporate in our teaching and learning process.
 I'll leave you the list of the most interesting tools for me: 

LightSail: This is a digital literacy technology to foster learners to read! I love it!
 Formittan: A cloud based form builder tool for creating online web forms, you can create an endless array of forms: contact forms, feedback forms, order forms, purchase forms, online invitations, surveys and polls etc.
 Musixmatch: I really like it! This is a tool where you can search, enjoy, and share lyrics from any track, anywhere in the world. 
ThoughtPad: It is an auto-saving online notepad. Whatever you type is autosaved in your browser. You can Email or download your content as well.’ 

I hope you find the collection helpful. Enjoy
