Timer Tab- We all use timers to keep ourselves and our students on task. When I was in the classroom and reviewing for the end of grade test, I promised my students that if they worked really hard for me for 20 minutes we would take a brain break. Sometimes my brain break was playing a quick game of Simon Says or an impromptu dance party. To change it up I would sometimes show a short America's Funniest Home Video from YouTube. You know what they say about how laughter helps reduce stress! This Timer Tab allows you to set your time and when it goes off your YouTube Video will play right in your timer window.
Quizizz-This tool turns learning into a fun, competitive, interactive game. It is much like Kahoot, except Quizizz is different because the questions and possible answers are displayed individually on student devices. Quizizz works on all devices with a browser, including computers, tablets & smartphones.
Quizlet Live-Many of us love Quizlet for vocabulary review and have been using it for years. Have you tried Quizlet Live? It's Quizlet's way of gaming up the classroom. It's an online, question-and-answer matching game for small teams to play face-to-face in the same room. You can read more information here.
Spiral-This tool works on mobile devices and laptops. It's a unique way to engage your students with content and has three different applications to use. Quickfire enhances question and answer activities, enabling you to get the responses of the entire class in real-time. Discuss is powerful tool for creativity, exploration and deeper learning and encourages students to share ideas with each other. Team Up allows you to facilitate group work - with students sharing ideas and building team presentations.
