- The first one is called KAHOOT. You sign up, make a series of questions and you are ready to go. I like to think of it as nearly identical to the Buffalo Wild Wings trivia game, but without the wings and more focus. On the projector Students see the question. Then they look at their own device, an iPad, or Laptop to select answers. The program keeps track of how many points they get based on how quickly they get the correct answer. It shows the top 5 scores from the class between each question. Kids love it, and you can download their responses to get data for formative assessment (this is NOT appropriate to use as a summative or formal quiz)
- Classtools has a couple of tools I like, for example a random name selector and a giant countdown timer for in class use.
- Funnytimes Comics I always loved having student make a comic strip to check up on what they know and give them a chance to be creative…maybe even funny. Make sure to read the directions about how to make a comic before you have your kids do it; its pretty simple! ( I always had the students print out the comics instead of “publishing” them on the website)
