The use of technology in a classroom is endless. I was able to experience this during my placement through various apps that the students could use to extend their learning. I was introduced to the app called popplet, which is a free app that helps students with mind-mapping. It is a wonderful visual for students to use to help create graphic organizers for brainstorming, or to categorize different topics. The students have been learning about soil, specifically composting. I had them go on the popplet app and create two categories: what you can compost and what you cannot compost. The students went around the room and took photos, went on KidRex to search images and sorted them!
