October Fest  This week I have a variety of items to share!

StudyLadder  - Halloween Activities

Sometimes you just want to have fun. Check out the activities that Study Ladder has put together.  This is an engaging site to share with parents or to utilize for that little bit of transition time for those students who finish before anyone else. Studyladder Halloween Activities.

Google Forms

There were lots of great presentations on October 10.  I really enjoyed sharing Google Forms with my participants.  If you have an interest in using Google Forms, I created my presentation so that it could be a self-paced tutorial.
For each step of the form development, I have added a screencast to review the information.  If you are interest in using Google Forms for polling, surveying, taking a quiz, doing an exit ticket and more, please feel free to make a copy of my presentation and go through it at your own pace.  As you know, I am always willing to come out for group or one on one support. Contact me at extension 1007 if you have any questions.  This Google Presentation link gives you view rights, you will need to make your own copy to work through it.

​If anyone, who presented on October 10, would like to showcase your presentation on the CVSD Tech Tips Blog, please contact me I would love to share with staff members who weren't able to get to your presentation. Let's remember that together we all grow smarter with technology so please share.

Assessment Tools

I am continually on the lookout for engaging ways to assess student learning.  Here are more game-like tools to engage students.  All are free.
FlipQuiz
Here is a new tool I came across called FlipQuiz . FlipQuiz is a web tool that allows teachers to easily create gameshow-style boards for test reviews in the classroom. All the boards you create can be saved for later use. You can also share your boards up on-screen and have students work on them collaboratively. Watch this demo to show you what a gameshow-style board looks like. The site shows You don't need to be a 1:1 tablet school to get students involved!

PurposeGames
PurposeGames is a website for engaging learners through creating and playing games.As a teacher you can use PurposeGames to create a variety of game-based quizzes. Some of the options you have include:Image Quizzes; Multiple Choice Quiz; Image shape quiz. Click here to check it out.

Riddle
Riddle is an excellent web tool for teachers. It allows them to create their own PlayBuzz and Buzzfeed-style quizzes, lists, polls, and more, often in under a minute. Riddle’s goal is to provide best-in-class tools that making creating interactive content simple, so you can concentrate on the content instead of worrying about the tools.

TestMoz
Testmoz is an excellent web tool that allows you to create auto graded tests and quizzes. This application is designed by Matt Johnson, an undergraduate student at Washington State University, Vancouver.The strength of this application lies in its simplicity and user-friendliness. Testmoz supports 4 types of questions: True/false, multiple choice, multiple response, and fill in the blank. Each test you create has a unique URL which you can use to edit your test later on or to share with others.

JeopardyLabs
JeopardyLabs is an excellent web tool that allows you to easily create jeopardy games without using PowerPoint templates. The process is very simple and does not require any fees, registration or software download. To create a Jeopardy template, click on “ Start Building” button in the home page. Type in a password for your template so you will be able to edit it later on. Next, use the editor to customize your template the way you want.  Click here to see a tutorial.

Quizlet
Quizlet is a great website for students and educators. It allows them to have a free access to over 10 million of flashcards and study games that cover almost every possible subject. There are for instance topics such as Math, Geography, History, Languages, Art, Standardized tests, Professional careers,and more.Quizlet can also help teachers create their own flashcards and share them with their students.

Looking for Showcases and Presentations

If you have a student showcase, lesson with tech integration or a technology presentation that you are willing to share, please contact me.  I am continually looking for examples of technology in use and tools and resources that engage our students or make teachers use of technology flow smoothly. So, don't be shy and invite me out to see your lesson or talk with you about your tool or to take pictures of your student's at work.

MacBook Tip

I found this short and informative video on Youtube with a handful of Mac tips.  Click here to see Brennen's tech bite.

Hour of Code - Coming December 5-11 - Sign up now!

I am now accepting appointments for this year's Hour of Code activities.  If you missed the coding fun last year, but would like to participate this year, contact me to schedule your class for an hour of coding.  This is an engaging activity and a wonderful free resource that students can participate in beyond the classroom. Here is the link to see what it's all about.
