Edu 643 Week Four
- 1. EDU 643 Week Four Tammy Stephens Belhaven University – Jackson, MS
- 2. My Study Life Planner This app would be used instead of paper planners. In a 1:1 and BYOD district students are encouraged to use devices. Our students are taught to write assignments into planners at the beginning of each class, this would now be done on a device using the app. Since teachers can share class calendars with the class, students would need to add only homework or unfinished assignments or notes to remind them to study. Parents could also use the app to keep informed about upcoming assignments that are posted by the teachers. Advantages Disadvantages Color coded classes Must have a device Teacher can share class calendar Store to cloud for easy access Notification of upcoming assignments Free Works on many platforms
- 3. Quizlet I create flashcards for students to use when reviewing material. Can be used as a competitive game Could be used as a pre or post test Used whole class to review Students can also create their own cards as part of their review Advantages Disadvantages Share material Account needed to save work Pronunciations for ELL Images and audio for great for different learning styles Free Available offline Library of already created lessons available
- 4. Kahoot Used in class as a formative assessment I use the data after each question to see where each student is We discuss each question and identify misunderstandings before moving on. Students see it as fun Advantages Disadvantages Works on many platforms Works only with web browser Pre-existing games Easy to create new game Competitive fun Students can create games
- 5. Microsoft OneNote In class, I would have students use this app when working in groups on projects. Students can share information in the form of text, pictures, website links, etc… Students can each work on one part of project and share with others. Gives each child a part of the project and shows that they have done their work Advantages Disadvantages Always with you Students need devices Free on Mac Account needed Can rearrange notes Organized Students can work on project at the same time
- 6. Bloomz Used to communicate with parents about what happens in class. I have used this with my homeroom this year for sending our reminder about items needed. It allows parents to sign up for items needed. I use it for monitoring behavior of students, whole class, and groups. I also send messages to parents about specific behavior. I plan to use it more for sending pictures of the projects that we are working on. Advantages Disadvantages Real time communication Takes time to use and set up classes Class calendars Some may not join Private & secure Many platforms Free
- 7. Plickers In my classroom this is used as a brain break or a beginning of class activity. Students see a question and then hold up their card to show which answer they think is correct. I use my phone to scan the room It allows me to see what they know Great for polls Advantages Disadvantages Formative assessment Students could misunderstand how to hold cards up Requires only a teacher phone Immediate feedback Free
- 8. Symbaloo Great for classroom computers It allows me to organize the websites I want my students to use. I can add and delete sites as needed Keeps the students from searching for commonly used sites I used the free account and just made it public so students could access A paid account would be easier to manage Advantages Disadvantages Saves time for students Takes time to set up and update Allows you to filter sites for use One click access Free or small cost Easier to manage with a paid account
- 9. Nearpod This app takes the place of my old PowerPoint. I can include videos, polls, slides, etc. that students can interact with instead of just watching the slides I can create and share the lesson with my student devices I manage the presentation and students are able to participate in real time with a device. This allows me to gain feedback to how the lesson is going and where I need to spend more time. Students that are absent can still join in from home if I post the code for them. Advantages Disadvantages Easy to create Cost money Interactive Students need a device Can import previously create slides Works on mobile and PC devices Access from anywhere Pre created lessons available
- 10. Quizizz I use this app as a review for test. I create the quiz and then assign it to be done in class or as homework. I can see that students have logged in and how they performed. I like this better because it can be less competitive for my slower learners but provides a great review. My co-worker and I take turns creating quizzes and then share them so it does save time. Advantages Disadvantages Fun for everyone Students need a device Easy to create Free Provides data Self paced Free Multiplayer No account required by student
- 11. Edpuzzle I create screencasts of my screen that shows steps of what students are expected to be able to do when they learn about word processing and presentations. I would use this app to upload my videos and then insert questions so that I can monitor what the students are learning. This program also allows me to see how much, if any of the video was watched and how many times. It also allows me to see what the students understood about the process being shown. Advantages Disadvantages Free Requires time for teacher to add questions Easy assessment Account needed Access to videos already created or upload your own Self paced learning Works on Chrome, iOS, & Android
