Give Students A Choice
We don't give students a set of watercolors and tell them to color everything blue. Yet, we frequently limit their options when it comes to showing us what they have learned.
BYOD and 1:1 classrooms can provide teachers the flexibility to allow their students choices when assigning projects. Every student may not have the same apps as their classmates, so instead of requiring the students to use a particular app or website, why not give them a choice? You will find that student engagement and creativity will increase when students are given the freedom to use different tools to deliver content.
Kahoot!
Students go to kahoot.it and log in using the pin generated on the screen.
Teachers create free accounts at getkahoot.com. From there, you can create your own kahoots, or search from public kahoots. If you find one you like, mark it as a favorite for use in the future, or edit it to meet your own needs.
This one is a huge hit with kids - and adults as well!
