Some Technological Tools that Support Global Education
Voice thread is a platform that allows groups in different locations to participate in a ongoing dialogue about a topic via video, voice, text, or through drawings. CHESPAX is piloting this technology with middle school students for ongoing discussions related to the field program at King's Landing Park.
Padlet is a virtual bulletin board on which participants can post ideas about a given topic. In addition to text, participants can add images and hyperlinks to support the discussion or concept.
Thinglink provides users with a way to create interactive images on the web that can be used as digital story-telling platform. Users can embed images with links to text, videos, or websites. Thinglinks can be created on an individual basis or as a part of a collaborative project.
