#TechieKnight: SimpleBooklet
As of right now, this add-on is only available under teacher accounts. I have submitted a ticket to have it reviewed for student use. This could be a great alternative to book creator. I will update next week (hopefully) to let you know if it has been opened to students. In the meantime, you can use it for presentations and documents!
Submissions Open for KLEINTalks 2019
KLEINTalks is a chance for students to share their passion and highlight their expertise on any topic. Modeled after the worldwide viral video phenomenon, TEDTalks®, we are inviting our very own brilliant brains of Klein ISD to participate in our second-annual KLEINTalks event.
The topic can range from gaming to fine arts to sports and beyond. This is a time for students to unleash their creativity and inspire others!
Proposals will be accepted through March 6. Encourage your students to participate!
We look forward to seeing the incredible ideas of our forever learners!
Quizalize Pilot Coming Soon
Last year, I found an online program called Quizalize. I only found it at the end of the year so I wasn't able to use it very much but my kids did enjoy it when we used it. This great online program turns boring tests into fun classroom team games. While your students use the program, you will instantly know which students need help and their specific weaknesses. Teachers can then assign follow-up activities to reinforce learning. The best part is that Quizlize already offers 120,000 ready-made quizzes aligned to the TEKS in all core content areas and foreign languages.
Quizalize has offered Krimmel a FREE pilot for the remainder of this year to test out the product with your students and collect students data. I am currently in the works of setting up our teacher accounts and Aaron Pankratz will be at Krimmel on March 4th for a full day of small group training during conference periods. Please plan to attend! In the meantime, please check out the video below.
