There are more applications today available than ever before for teachers and students to create, collaborate, and present their ideas in a digital format. There are applications such a Numbers that allow students to easily organize, sort, manipulate and share data. Pages provides students and teachers alike with powerful word processing options and Keynote is the best presentation tool on the market. All three are available on a variety of platforms and are completely free. Applications like GarageBand allow students and teachers to record podcasts, songs. speeches, etc. to share with others. Students and teachers can even create books that can then be shared with the others worldwide through Amazon and the Apple Book Store. For our assignments this week , we used Google Docs and Google Slides to create materials for use with a series of lessons that could be taught by a teacher to students of various grade levels. We were able to store our assets in a Google Drive and then share those assets with our group members. Each group member helped to collaborate with one another to create a teacher handout as well as a presentation. All of this was able to be done with free tools available to anyone willing to provide Google access to personal data or to anyone that has paid for a G-Suite account. I am including below a link to the assets that I create for a Geometry lesson on Triangles.

Shane I have enjoyed working with you again on this project. It is always great to see how you can make math interactive and relevant. I think that it is amazing that all of the of the assets that we have created have been on a free and accessible open source platform. It amazes me how many apps that we use that are absolutely free.
