Technology and Learning

Here is ONE more tool to learn/use if your kids LOVE gaming for review.  This app was created by a  high school student who wanted to play games in class and learn.  SO here you have it!  It's VERY similar to both Kahoot! and Quizizz in the fact that you create question sets and then students are given choices and answer them on their device.  HOWEVER, Gimkit allows them to earn money, which they can then spend on a question they may not know, help them jump spots on the leaderboard, etc... and you can also just give them the code to enter and start the game. I KNOW - you're thinking, "ANOTHER APP THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE QUESTIONS FOR, IT'S THE SAME THING HOLLY."  AND, I would say, "You are correct.  HOWEVER, it's something new as they have been using Kahoot and Quizizz FOREVER here, so sometimes it's just a matter of changing it up a bit, and this would allow that for you! GOOD LUCK - give it a shot - YOU are probably tires of some of those
