 * Excel - spreadsheets can then be generated to chart the student responses.
 * Students can then use the wireless internet connection with either their own personal device or the desktop computers in the room to research what makes a valid opinion poll.
 * Students can then post their findings on the class Wiki page to communicate those findings to the entire class.
 * Flocabulary is a website that can be used to teach vocabulary and also use as a weekly current events week in review rap video. It is very entertaining and also informative. This tool meets the needs of visual learners and those who learn well when things are put to music and song.
