Week 15 : Classkick

 

Classkick is completely free and is a great way to be interactive with your students and for students to be interactive with each other. I have outlined how it works with visuals and videos for those that are interested. You make your own assessments, content, upload drawings, fill in the blank, etc. into the program.

    This is a tool I may look into! I've been a big fan of the free interactive tools introduced this semester and this seems to fit right into that. I like the instant feedback elements and the ability for students to insert drawings and such for this specific tool.

      Hi Sylvia,
      I think this blog has given us all a great opportunity to learn about some great free Ed Tech Tools out there. I too, am a big fan of free, however, I am willing to pay if the features are worth it!

    Hi there,
    I really like this tool and the fact that you can make your own assessments, upload content, fill in the blank, etc. I also like the idea that you can reward students and give them stickers to boost their confidence.

      Hi Kayla,
      The reward system is a great way to get students motivated! The content choices are a great way to keep teachers motivated. If you have time, definitely check out this tool!

    I have never heard of this before! But this is such a great idea! :) I think it's a wonderful way for students to be able to interact with their teachers and their peers on a new level. - Ashley Dockery

      Hi Ashely,
      I am all about interaction in art. SO, when we got hit with the pandemic, I was trying to find ways to get my F2F and Virtual students to be able to interact. This program does the job!

    Tara, I have never heard of this before but I am liking what I see! My favorite part has to be the LIVE EDIT. Just today, I was using desmos and I remember thinking "do I fix my mistake and send out a new link and waste more time with them logging on again or do I just keep going with what I've got???" and I do this ALL THE TIME! I will have to try this out soon! -Jackie W15

      Hi Jackie,
      I do not know much about Demos, except it crashing on our state testing day! However, if this will be beneficial, I love to hear that.

    This is such a neat tool! I like that it is simple to use and offers real time editing! I am quite far from perfect so that would really come in handy. Thanks for sharing! - Layne Broeker, week 15 response

      Hi Layne,
      The interactive nature is what drew me into the program. You should definitely check it out. And it is free!

    Hey Tara!
    This looks like a really cool tool. I've heard of it actually used in the elementary and middle school level, but not yet at the high school level. I like how it is so interactive between the teacher and the student. I think this would help to engage each student, especially since the teacher can see the progress that each student is making (or what they are writing). I find that tools like these really help to hold all my students accountable to completing each math problem on their own, and I look forward to trying this in my class. Thank you for sharing!

Week 10: Google Meet Attendance Extension

Image
  If you are using Google Meet and are struggling with keeping up with attendance, this is a must-have for attendance. I know for me teaching Hybrid, I have Four options that I can put into my attendance, so mistakes can be made easily! This extension has helped me be able to go back and correct my attendance later, without any questions on whether I the student was on campus, virtual, absent, or tardy. It is all there in the extension. For a much better explanation, watch the tutorial video below. And if you are not using this valuable extension or are about to go into Hybrid teaching, you must start using this! Since we all love data so much, this extension is just a great way to keep track of our kiddo's attendance. It also helps you when you are gathering information for IEPs, 504s, or RTI information. They are also constantly updating the extension with new features. The newest one is a ghost feature. It tells you how long the students have been idle on the meet. This tells me...

Week 8: Remind Messaging App

Image
  Remind is the most invaluable communication app out there for educators to use to stay in touch with students and parents. It has even evolved into a system much like Google Voice, where you can call parents and students from your personal cell phone and it will hide your phone number.  Another great feature of this app is that translates to over seventy languages. This translation is a two-way street. You can translate your messages before you send them, or the recipient can translate them to their preferred language once they receive a message from you. I teach in a Title One District that has a 98% Latinx population, so this has become my go-to way to communicate with parents and students over phone calls. It also is a great way to keep documentation of the conversations you have had with the parents. My students also love the accessibility they have to me through this app. They can reach me quickly. I will get a notification on both my phone and computer when they send m...

Week 15: Dangerously Irrelevant

Since this is our final blog of the semester, I thought I would give my thoughts on how following this page has gone for me as an educator. I like that there is a page for educators that is not afraid to dip their toes into politics. I think education is political, and too many are afraid to broach the subject as such. Scott Mcleod has found a way to not only be political but thought-provoking, relevant, bring technology and leadership to the forefront of this blog. He started a podcast this past year called  Silver Lining for Learning  that chronicles issues globally and how they intersect here with the United States Education system. If you have time, I would check out the podcasts, they are enlightening and relevant to what we have learned this semester. I will continue to follow this blog, it has captured my attention! http://dangerouslyirrelevant.org/
