Scribd

Scribd is a great educational and informative tool that allow users to post word documents and share them publicly or privately. This tool is free to use also. Signing up is easy and works on all systems (PC, MAC, etc.).  This tool requires an internet connection as is very similar to Google Docs. Users can download documents, embed on websites, and comment. This is a great tool that educators should take full advantage of.

Some of the advantages of using this tool with 21st century learners are:

  • Easy access
  • Reduces wasted paper
  • Students can post and critique their work
Information, media, and technology skills and learning and innovation skills are addressed by using this tool in the classroom.
