The Best Resources for Elementary Schools
Wiggio (
http://wiggio.com) Wiggio is a free online toolkit that makes it easy to work with and coordinate groups. It is simple to use and has an intuitive interface that makes it easy for students, parents, and teachers alike. Wiggio is a place to share and manage files, manage a group calendar, poll your group, post links, set up
conference calls (including voice, webcam, shared whiteboard space, and screen sharing), chat online, send out mass text messages, and send voice or email messages to the entire group.
Wiggio can be used to create a class group with students and families each year. Keep
families up-to-date with the latest happenings in your classroom, volunteer opportunities, and class projects that will need parent support. Share all the important documents, videos, and resources that you use in your classroom for easy access at home. Live meeting opportunities mean that you can hold a virtual parent university where you can catch parents up on the new math/reading/science/writing curriculum. Teach parents everything from reading strategies to use at home to working through math problems together. Offer virtual conference opportunities for parents who are unable to make it for a live conference due to long-term illness, job travel, or in multiple parent homes. Create student groups where you keep your students up-to-date with classroom happenings and resources. Offer your students a study hour where they can meet with you virtually for a little extra support or mentoring. Remind your students of upcoming assignments by creating to-do’s. Collect digital assignments using Wiggio files. Students can create study groups of their own for collaborative projects. As they work together, they can meet virtually, share resources and links, and create a schedule to keep themselves on task.
Wiggio is a great platform for connecting multiple classes within a school, or around the
world. Students can collaborate on a project, with all resources and communication housed in one location. Sign up for Wiggio as a teacher, students can join without sharing any personal information making it appropriate for students 13 and under with a permission slip.
