My Digitsl Toolbox includes tools/sites that I have not had the chance to investigate yet. During this course, I tried to jot down any tool or site that was mentioned in discussions. I included these in my toolbox in hopes of being able to investigate them at some point. I felt it was important to include what kind of product they provided so that if I was looking for something to incorporate in a lessons (TPACK) I would know ones to look at. This also gives me an idea on where the link would be used on the SAMR model. I could narrow them down to a few to look at. I also took the time to find out if there was a iPad app for the site. I use my iPad for most everything and know that if it has an iPad app, it would be more useful to me. I also felt it was important to identify if they we're free and suitable for use by elementary students (ISTE Standards).
This proved to be a useful project to me. I like having all the sites and information in one site. I started this project using Delicious but when it came time to evaluate, I switched to a Google Drive document. I find it easier to sort and manipulate the data on Google Drive and I always have access to Google Drive on all my devices. In the future, I would encourage students to keep record of any site recommended by others in their Digital Toolbox and investigate and evaluate when time permits.
