RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
Give a brief description of the technology/resource.
Pictured above is the “Whiteboard” portion of Stormboard, this is the primary function of the site is to create stickynotes with
ideas and other students can make them too.
Pictured above is a deeper dive into one of the sticky notes posted in the previous screenshot. Users can create images such as
this drawing to represent their ideas as one of the many free functions for Stormboard.
Stormboard allows students to come together online to express and share their ideas. This site is great for organizing group
projects or studying for exams. Students post “sticky notes” which can be dragged and dropped across the Stormboard’s
Whiteboard function. Teachers might even be able to use this site to gather short bits of information from each student as a
ticket out the door. However, the primary function is for student collaboration, students can upload documents, pictures, videos,
and texts expressing their ideas and other students can upvote ideas so that those ideas (portrayed in videos or uploaded
documents) and they will appear at the top of the whiteboard. Each student is given 10 votes that they may use to upvote any
idea of their choosing. Students also have the ability to comment on their peer’s notes for feedback and continued collaboration.
INTEGRATION IDEA - COLLABORATION

How might you integrate this resource in a lesson plan to promote collaboration among students in your classroom, or among
students and others outside of the classroom?
I might use this tool to monitor how students brainstorm their ideas in groups. I also might use this tool as a way to collect
information from students such as “What did you learn in last night's readings? Please post a sticky note describing something
that you found astonishing.”
I might use this tool to collaborate with other teachers in the history department as a safe place to run ideas and questions by
other teachers.

VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION
● Based on the “value-added rating scale” above, how would you rate the technology integration you described, using the
selected resource?
● Explain your rating based on the rubric indicators.
I would give Stormboard a 2, I love that there are many features available for free users however, if one intends to incorporate
this tool in the classroom they would require students to give personal information to the website as well as requiring $10 per
student for groups of more than 10 students, which is the case for nearly every classroom. Another unfortunate feature of
Stormboard is that the site does not allow documents to be uploaded unless students pay $10 a month.
Ultimately, this is a great tool, but probably not the best for teachers and students given the costs associated with the site.
