The EdTech Connection
Making the connection between ed and tech: 26 Apr 2018
RealtimeBoard: A cloud-based collaborative whiteboard for FREE!
This could be a great way for teachers at different schools to work together and share their work!
New Ways to Play Quizlet Live
- Eleven: All teams must play until they get to 11. Rotate teams occasionally to keep students from feeling like they are on the "slow" team.
- Cacophony: Students stay in their desks to play, rather than forming clumps or groups. They must communicate from where they are. WARNING: This will get LOUD, so don't play if testing is going on next door.
- Silent: The opposite of Cacophony, students may not speak, but may communicate non-verbally.
There are other ideas listed on the blog, too, if you're interested!
Chrome Extension Spotlight: ScreenShade
"ScreenShade by EdTechTeam lets you quickly and easily cover your screen, or a portion of it. You can use ScreenShade to hide the answers to questions, block out something you don't want an audience to see, or let students uncover if they know the answer.
ScreenShade even has a built-in timer that you can set. When the timer is done, the shade disappears!"Check out the list of Chrome extensions that are already whitelisted HERE! You can also access the form to submit a new request on the same page!
