Word Cloud was definitley one of my favorite tools that I learned how to do. Word cloud can make any typical redundant subject or project a fun and attractive picture! I think I really love word cloud because I had control in how it was going to be presented. I could control the color, theme and appearance of my word cloud. I also really enjoyed word cloud because you could use it with literally anything! I really liked the idea of using it for something like a spelling test because it would make studying the words 
more fun and appealing for the students. I would also think it would be fun at the beginning of the year for kids to use words to describe themselves so that you as a teacher could get to know them better. It would also be really fun to use for a project over adjectives, adverbs, synonyms, or antonyms. I personally had a great time using this tool and was excited to do it on my own for no reason and I think that my students would share the same excitement as me.
Smore was another tool that I really enjoyed learning about and exploring. For my first smore assignment, I made a document on teaching digital citezenship. I think that the thing that I really liked about this tool was how simple it was to use. I think that this tool would be awesome in the future for something that I want to be more interactive for students and want to put together quickly. I know that as a teacher creating lesson plans and grading paper along with a multitude of other things is just really a time consuming occupation, so I think I will come back to smore a lot when I still want to be creative with my students but have a limited time to create my presentation. The cool thing about smore is the variety it offers you to use. I liked how I could insert a video, pictures, text and links to things. You could really make it as simple or complex as you want enabling you to be able to use it for any grade level. This would also be another tool that you could teach the students how to use and explore.
Finally, one of my favorite tools that I had learned how to use was thinglink. Thinglink is an awesome interactive tool that I really enjoyed using. I really liked how you could really go wherever with Thinglink. You could be so creative with this app especially in the classroom. I think this would be an awesome tool if you wanted to really capture the students attention with informative videos about a subject or captivating websites. I will use this to make my students more excited about topics and once again have my students use it to get really creative and explore the web even more.
