Updates On Your Favorite Tech Tools #22

Google Sites has just recently changed their publishing feature. Click here to see the new feature. Now, the student is able to choose who can see their published version of their site. This gives some privacy that the student and/or teacher might be wanting. Click here to access a previous Tech Tip Tuesday Google Site Smore.
Kahoot
Kahoot allows teachers to run game-like answer quizzes in real time. Teachers (as well as students) can either create their own quizzes or find, use, and/or remix public quizzes. Questions, along with answer choices, are projected onto a classroom screen while students submit responses using a technology device.
