Quizizz - Website to CHECK OUT!!!

Mrs. Tonsfeldt, a third grade teacher here, has started using a website called Quizzizz. Let me tell you, it's a GREAT one to check out FOR SURE!! The idea behind it is like many others like Kahoot, Quia, Quizlet, etc... however, just in the little time that I was looking at at, it seems easier to work with, I like that it actually shows the words instead of Kahoot where it's shapes, and when you get an answer right or wrong a meme pops up - KILLS ME:)!!! When the quiz is done, you also get a report showing which kids got which ones wrong, and the kids get to see which ones they get right and wrong also. It seems like a SUPER quick and easy way for assessment of what they know and what they don't know. Here's exactly what Mrs. Tonsfeldt says, "My students love it and I love that I can assign it for the weekend. It could be an assignment, too, and I can grade it if I give them a password to use!"

Here's a sample questions - simple layout, and easy to read (AND I wish my son's teacher would have used THIS one as we have been working on this concept ALL week:):

Here's what you get when you get it correct:

OR if you happen to get one wrong:

What you are DONE taking the test - here is what you see - so really it's nice to the kiddos, too:

I LOVE THESE - LAUGHING OUT LOUD HERE:)!!! Even when you get it wrong, you get a chuckle, and it DOES show you the correct answer. I think you will enjoy this one:)

Have a great Thursday, all, and THANK YOU Mrs. Tonsfeldt for sharing this one with us:)!!

CodeHS - Great Site for High School Students

We have been looking for something in regards to coding for our senior high school students. They have been having fun playing with the Sphero and the Dash and Dot , but they are a little old for this so to say. Through my research, I came across a site called CodeHS . THIS IS AMAZING:)!!! Once you sign up, you are taken through a series of courses where you actually code. You type in the commands and functions, trying to walk Karel, the dog, through various tasks. Each section features a video explaining what you'll learn, a quiz to review, and then you step in and use what you learned to code Karel. This seems like a really good fit for some of our kids. We have two that are going into Computer Science, and this seems like a perfect stepping stone as it introduces HTML , Javascript and Python as they are also areas they will learn:). AND the best part - it's DONE FOR YOU and IT'S FREE!! Of COURSE you can pay for more, but i...

Starfall Website......

I am not sure if I have shared this website with you, but our Kindergarteners are ROCKING IT OUT! The site is Starfall and it has SO much great content on here. Below is a list of content for the little ones: The kiddos today were working on the Learn to Read section. They had to listen to words, add beginning and ending sounds, and read stories and click and find things as they went. They were TOTALLY engaged! They even had a checklist to do once sections were completed to track their progress. A SUPER fun one for the kiddos is preK-1st grade I would say FOR SURE:)! Bad news - NO iPad as it's flash based:( - but still PLEASE CHECK IT OUT Happy Monday and night, Mrs. I:)
