Blackflip: http://www.backflip.com
As our world becomes increasingly a digital society, this tool can be used in education to help connect teachers and students.
Blackflip can be used to organize, plan and implement instructions for students and teachers.
There are so many valuable web tools this is one that I’m sure you’ll find enjoy as well.
My favorite thing about this tool is the great social bookmarking flexibility; you can save your favorite sites. Instead of saving websites to your favorites in one computer, you can save your sites in backflip and access them from any computer.
You can also organize your sites by putting them in different folders.
There is a Blackflip button that you can put on your link toolbar and every time you are on a website you like, you just have to click on the backflip button and it will save it to backflip.
This tool can also be used to share important resources with others.
As an educator I share my resources with my students. Students can also share resources they find, click on Blackflip and it automatically saves the site.
This would be great for collecting resources for a research paper and keeping a folder of important sites.
Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteI will certainly check this out. Our teachers need this to organize them selves. What my teachers need most of all is simplicity. I have found if it takes too much time to set up they won't do it. So hopefully it is a simple tool for them to use.
Hi Carolyn,
