I would use Explain Everything to allow students to demonstrate their understanding of the content through their own learning style. Also I could provide support to students individually by adding narration or comments to their work to help guide their learning.

I would use ClassDojo as a accountability tool that promotes students being independent learners. It would also serve for classroom management purposes as an incentive for students that are on task and complete their assignments punctually. Students would receive approval for assignments when they met or exceeded my requirements.

I would use Seesaw to track students performance through its Skills feature. Students would receive a color-coded rating that correlates with the four achievement descriptors on the Georgia Milestones (i.e. red-beginner, yellow-developing, green-proficient, and blue-distinguished). Students also would upload their assignments to track their growth over the course of my class. This would help ensure fidelity of grades in determining pass/fail decisions.

I would use Classkick to scaffold
students allowing them to become more independent in their learning process. Classkick uses technology to give all students a voice through their private raise hand feature. This feature allows students who are usually quiet or shy, the ability to show their understanding or ask questions. In addition, accelerated students would serve as peer tutors providing assistance to other students.
