For my "Other Media and Communication Tool", I chose Scribble Maps. As you may have noticed from other posts, I am thoroughly enjoying being a coach, so I thought a cool thing would be to plot where each school is that we played against. I used Scribble Maps to draw a circle of that school's colors to represent on the map where that school was. In the end, it looked pretty neat to show how our district is close to us but we still ventured out to play some farther away teams such as Aledo and Arlington Sam Houston.
The ease of use was pretty good. The only issue would be crowding up the map, as I had originally wanted to put in the distance of travel for each opponent. I can see myself using this in Geometry to create shapes on a map and have the students figure out the area encompassed by the shape or find cities that represent an angle with another city along the angle bisector.
Good tool there!
