This is a web-based quiz type game that allows up to 30 students to respond to questions you made. The game only allows for multiple choice type questions.

An interactive way to assess students through ipads, iphones, androids and more!

This looks like a great tool to use in my classroom. It would be a quick way to assess students on a topic before moving on. This tool is clearly geared towards teachers. It can help them to quickly grade quizzes that are easy but tedious to correct such as true/false and multiple choice. I would like to play around with this a bit more and see if there are discussion opportunities with it. My students use Poll Everywhere to have discussions or answer polls, but the results are posted for everyone to see. I like that the tools grades the quizzes and posts the results to a spreadsheet format. That would be such an efficient way to grade. This is much more user friendly than other automatically graded quizzes like Flubaroo. Thanks for sharing!

A few teachers in my building use secretive and have shared it in professional development sessions. It looks very easy to use and seems like something students would be very easily engaged with. Great resource for teachers to use with students. It would be just as easy for students to design questions and present as a quiz or dipstick check for understanding after a presentation or some other in class assignment. My school uses Promethean boards so we have this same capability built into that technology with the Active Votes or Active Expressions. I can also see this being something you could do with the poll feature on Edmodo. I think there are more and more resources out there in this style. I agree with Kayla that this is MUCH easier to use than Flubaroo, even though that is a very useful tool as well.

This is an excellent resource for nonfiction texts on current news. It will adjust the reading level for differentiation, connects to Core standards, and has reading quizzes. You can set up classes through which students can work.

Flubaroo is an add-on for Google spreadsheets that allows teachers to quickly correct and offer feedback on student quizzes.

Create online flashcards for a class. You can share these with friends or colleagues.

I agree that these can be used in the classroom successfully. I have used something similar and have found success. Now, I am not sure what you teach but I think this would be best in a language classroom. That being said, it works in all settings. I like that this is primarily a student centered resource. Since students have to create their own flash card set they internalize the information. Finally, have you tried quizlet.com? It is a very similar resource that allows students to play different games with their sets. It too has an ipad app like cramberry which I like.

I agree with Kenton - it is a great resource for students to use to learn information. What I like about this one is that you can search ready-made sets. But I like quizlet.com a lot better. It has interactive games to learn the words and can even write quizzes for the students to test their knowledge. I have used that for independent study of vocabulary words for novels. I couldn't write 30 different quizzes to assess their familiarity with the new words they chose for themselves, but on quizlet they can take a quiz and show me their score. It has apps from Apple and Android so students can use it from different devices. Also, it has a print option for students who don't have access to a smart phone or internet outside of school. I like that it gives them an active way to study and instant feedback on what they know and what they need to study still. Finally, it has class options so I could enter a set and share it easily with the students.

Edmodo is a free social learning network for teachers, students and schools. With a design similar to Facebook, Edmodo offers teachers and students a safe and easy way to connect and collaborate. Edmodo can be used to share content, access and submit homework, take quizzes, and collaborate with other students. Also offers a parent component that allows parents access to their student's account.

I like the wiki source in the aspect that it explains everything about Edmodo, which would be great to send parents/staff/administrator to if they were curious about what Edmodo is and how you are going to use it in your classroom. I think this provides a "safer and more private" learning environment for students that could be beneficial. I think this is pretty similar to what we are using for our online class with blackboard, but Edmodo provides a more user-friendly area for younger students. Thanks for sharing!

I know many schools have used this but it is all archived online for use. Students can learn about current events and then share what they learn with others.

Kenton - We used to be a channel.one school, but stopped viewing it last year. I love the current news - but hated all of the commercials. Can you view online without all of the commercials? This site reminds me of newela.com. It is a wonderful site for reading current non-fiction articles and is also related to common core standards. I like that you can select the reading level for students on the article. You can create classes and assign readings and it has quizzes, too. I haven't used any of those features. I just used the articles for read-alouds and they were high interest. I can see Channel One working well for history, but also for English. We need to teach students to be critical viewers as well as critical readers. Let's face it - a lot of information they will receive (for elections, ads of products to buy, etc.) will be visual. They need to know how to interpret information in this medium, too.

Kenton - I agree that this seems like it would be a good tool for students and educators. I think that students could watch the short videos and do reports on what kinds of things are happening in around the world. I think educators could use it to stay more informed as well. I had not heard of this resource before I saw your posting. Do they post new videos weekly? Also, how do they come up with their topics? Do people submit ideas of different topics they would like to hear more about?
