Since we are a Google Apps for Education (GAFE) school I thought I would share this article about the best features for busy teachers. I know I am always busy and thought you might be as well! ha Enjoy the eight highlighted features as they may be of some help to keeping you organized throughout your highly busy day!
Storify is the easiest way to become your own reporter of sorts. You use social media to gather and organize events going on around the world. I am going to start using this to create my Friday Teacher Feature. I made this in just a few minutes! Now I can easily share my tweets with you and all the spectacular resources I shared with the world. The best part is I do not have to spend countless hours writing articles. All I need to do is drag and drop. What a great way to create a newsletter for parents and the community. Check out my first one below.
Quizalize is a quiz game platform similar to Socrative or Kahoot. Like Kahoot, students play your quiz games on their laptops or tablets by going to the Quizalize website then entering their names and a class code. Students are awarded points for correctly answering questions quickly. Students are given feedback instantly on every quiz question that they answer. A total score is presented to students at the end of every quiz. What's different about Quizalize is that you can have students play a quiz game as a classroom activity or you an assign to them to play at home. Either way that they play students receive immediate feedback and can track their own progress on a game when they play it multiple times. Check out the video below to see how to create a game on Quizalize. Credit to http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2016/02/quizalize-create-interactive-review.html#.VscdAVVViko for summary of Quizalize.
