News You Can Use
BrightBytes Survey Coming Soon!
The annual BrightBytes technology survey is coming! In the next few weeks you will receive information about taking this year's survey. The BrightBytes Clarity survey combines input from teachers, students, administrators, and parents to understand the environmental factors, skills, access levels and classroom factors that shape the impact of technology in our district. It usually only takes about 20 minutes for a participant to complete the survey. Only students in grades 3-12 will complete the survey. All instructional staff will also be asked to take the survey. We appreciate your support and assistance with this project.
New Tools and Tips!
ClassTools.net
Classtools.net has a variety of different programs that are beneficial for teachers to use. Management tools include a countdown timer and a random name generator. Have students create a Fakebook page for a historical persona, a shape, a literary character, or even an element. Summarize a key concept in only 140 characters using Twister, or create a QR scavenger hunt for your students.
Nearpod
Flippity.net
Flippity is a site that offers great Google Sheets templates that you can use to make flashcards, timelines, and games. The latest game template added to Flippity is a scavenger hunt template. Flippity calls it a scavenger hunt but it is more like a series of trivia questions that students answer to open digital locks. Try it yourself with this demo game.
