A couple of good things from the MJS IMC
EDpuzzle
Do you ever feel like kids are zoning out when watching a video in class? Do you want your students to interact with video in a more beneficial manner? Would you like to try Flipping a lesson by sharing content as homework? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may want to try EDPuzzle. This tool allows you upload video from the web or a file and add student response questions, comments or prompts at particular points in the video. Plus. EDpuzzle is integrated with Google Classroom. This is their Youtube Channel of Video Tutorials, but in all honesty, it's pretty intuitive. If you would like to try it out, and need assistance, I would be happy to help!
Shout Key
Do you ever need to share a website address (URL) to a group on the fly? Do you hear the questions "Where do I go again?" and "It's not working!" ringing in your ears? If so, you may want to try ShoutKey.com. Shout Key is a URL shortener which gives you a temporary URL with an easy to remember word. Students won't need to enter the entire url, but simply shoutkey.com/(the word you're given). You choose how long to keep the URL active, (12 hours is the max). Try it out.
