    This is a neat classroom poll app. You should check this out.
  •  
    This would be a great thing to use for a quick survey of how students are doing with new material. I just wish my school had a better WIFI connection.

    I agree with @areinsburrow that this app would make for a great survey for seeing how students are getting along new material. Using the Marzano learning scales (4-1) is a quick way of gauging understanding, but it would be nice to have something tangible to document individual students' understanding of lessons that way teachers can track their progress. Sometimes in my classroom I feel as though I reach some students too late when teaching new material, and it's hard to catch them up during small group or one-on-one instruction. This is app is a good, anonymous (to others, not the teacher) way of assessing student understanding.

    This website is a great way to strengthen addition and multiplication skills. Students sign on, when prompted he/she will begin practicing by answering given questions that are timed. If time begins to run out, a siloette of the numbers will appear to assist the student. But since they were helped, they don't earn a smiley and the problem cycles back in for practice again.

Using Technology to Enhance Engaged Learning for At-Risk Students - 1 views

shared by jbs329 on 21 Feb 15 - Cached
  •  
    ISSUE: An increasing number of educators are calling for high standards and challenging learning activities for at-risk students. New technologies can provide meaningful learning experiences for all children, especially those at risk of educational failure. Schools that capitalize on the relationship between technology and education reform will help students to develop higher order skills and to function effectively in the world beyond the classroom.

Teachers can set their classes up Sumdog and have their students log on to play different "games" that involve math problem solving. Teachers can also monitor their students' progress on Sumdog as well.

Desmos | Beautiful, Free Math - 4 views

    Explore math with desmos.com, a free online graphing calculator I have used Desmos not only in my lessons as a point of references, but I have given students the opportunity to complete a linear equation project using Desmos to create a picture.

    I love that it has an app so my students can still graph for free, at home!
  •  
    I completely agree. Most of my students cannot afford the TI-83 graphing calculators, but almost all of them have smartphones that would allow them to use this app for free. I will definitely be showing this to my classes, although they probably won't be as excited as I was about it!
  •  
    I like this app. This would have definitely helped me when I took Algebraic Concepts for my undergrad content course. Sure, my class website had a graphing calculator tab that I could use for homework. But I found it really difficult to navigate and very hard to see. If I was still taking that class, I would definitely share it with my classmates, because as you mentioned alexamoore621 TI-83 calculators are pricey. Although, now that I think about it, it would be hard to convince my professor to let us use it in class...he had a no cell phone use during exams, even if the phone had an app.

I was literally just going to post about Kahoot but you beat me to it! I absolutely LOVE using this for test review. I think the kids really enjoy it, too. It's an excellent tool.

6 Scaffolding Strategies to Use with Your Students - 0 views

  •  
    What's the opposite of scaffolding a lesson? It would be saying to students something like, "Read this nine-page science article, write a detailed essay on the topic it explores, and turn it in by Wednesday." Yikes -- no safety net, no parachute, no scaffolding -- just left blowing in the wind.

Virtual Field Trips | SimpleK12 - 8 views

  •  
    Virtual field trips challenge and expose students to new types of technology. It is a great way to spark their interest and motivate their learning in a specific content area. Virtual field trips can offer students more opportunities because you can take them to places they wouldn't normally be able to go to otherwise - like inside a volcano or ocean floor!

Keeping up with social media--in 30 minutes a day (you heard me!) | - 3 views

  • Curating your own content can be just as powerful as reviewing others that have done it for you. Especially when there are tools that can do the curating for you. Like Paper.li.
    • Lisa Barbi
       
      Curating your own content using a resource such as Paper.li is an excellent resource for teachers and students alike.  Paper.li enables you to focus on specific information using filters and share that information (online articles, images, podcast, videos etc.) among a variety of people.  Students can use this tool to collaborate on a research project, while teachers can share content to make instruction more engaging and relevant.
  •  
    Love what Paper.li can do. But Mr. Hanson's article on keeping up with all the streams of information, social media, etc completely stressed me out. His concept of using every available moment, including in the bathroom, to keep up is craziness. Even Silicon Valley has awakened to the need to unplug and find moments without tech or trying to keep up.

Create Graphs - 5 views

This would be great incorporated into a project where students needed to first gather their own data on a topic, possible through a poll, and then create graphs. Thanks for sharing this resource. ...
