Quizziz--another fun way to check for learning

My students love Kahoot.  But, it's losing it's power.  So, I stumbled upon Quizziz.  It is very similar to Kahoot.  Students visit the site and input the code. But students (either alone or in groups) get the questions in various orders.  So, you get a better check for understanding.  You can also remove the time limit.  On the teacher side, you can see how everyone is doing in real time--who is missing a lot of questions or taking a ton of time.  The kids love it--and I love it.  Like Kahoot, there are a lot of premade Quizizzs, but they are easy to make on your own.  The reports are thorough and easy to download and navigate.  Just add this little tool to your arsenal. 

Use Flipgrid to Create Amazing Conversations

Hi all!

So, Flipgrid.  It is an amazing app.  You create a class--and assignment.  You then let your kids respond via video.  This can then be shared and responded to (via video) by other students, staff members, family members, and community members. All of which need to be approved before posting.  That way you can guard against anything that would not be helpful. It is an app that pushes down the walls of the classroom. 

Go and visit my class' new year SMART goals.  As much as I love the students explaining their goals, I love the responses of encouragement and suggestions.  It's just amazing.   Leave a comment, if you wish.  They would love it!    Visit: https://flipgrid.com/ddf988
