Technology Tools for the Classroom
Remind
Remind is a communication tool that helps teachers reach students and parents at any time. It helps teachers extend learning beyond the classroom walls. While also allowing you to give extra support to those who may need it.
By using remind it will allow us to have direct contact with each other at all times. The students can ask me for extra help on certain subjects. This also allows me to answer any of their questions but also get into contact with you all and let you know that your child is struggling with homework.

Flipquiz
Flipquiz is a great website for creating your own gameshow-style jeopardy boards for test reviews in the classroom. The questions are displayed on-screen and boards are saved for later use. Flipquiz can be accessed anywhere and you can take it with you from class to class, school to school, and at home. It is a great collaboration tool to use with you kids to see what they know in a fun and exciting way.
I know that using this website will be a great tool for the classroom. I will use it when reviewing the material to keep things fun for the students. It can also be used at home for your to review with your child before any test. Kids enjoy competition and games, so this website is the perfect for keeping things fun while studying.
Class Dojo
ClassDojo is a great website that lets you keep track of you students good and bad behavior. Each student has a profile so that teachers can assign positive and negative points (or 'dojos') throughout the lesson. Every time a student is awarded a point for good or bad behavior a sound plays alerting the class. This information is then recorded on the students' profiles, so that it can be reviewed throughout the year. Parents also have logins so that they can view their child's achievements from home. It is a great collaboration tool for the parents and teachers so that they are on the same page when it comes to behavior.
This website tool is very effective in tracking the students behavior and keeping the parents updated at all times. By using this app you will be able to know how often your child acts up and when they are using good behavior in the classroom. Since it is sent directly to the parent it stops the child from lying about their behavior and keeps things very open.
