Ms. Walker's Students Have a Hoot With Kahoot!
Kahoot is very easy to use in a 1:1 or BYOD classroom. As a teacher you can use quizzes that have already been made or you can quickly create your own.
Wendy Davis, Instructional Technology Facilitator at Owens Elementary School, has created Kahoot quizzes that support 3rd, 4th and 5th grade reading vocabulary for everyone in the district to use. Access her quizzes HERE.

Kaizena: Making the Writing Process EASY!
If you have been a teacher for any amount of time and have tried to go through the writing process with students you know how tedious and time consuming this task can be for teachers and students. Kaizena is the answer.
The best way for teachers to use Kaizena is to image the student whose paper you are reviewing is sitting next to you. Use the recording feature to "talk" to the student about their writing prompt response, essay, research paper, etc., as if the student is sitting right next to you. Students can then listen to their teacher's comments and make the suggested corrections easily within Google Docs.
Kaizena is perfect for formative assessment and is an ultimate relationship builder.
