How to create a kahoot on your computer
How to create a kahoot in the app

Kahoots are best played in a group setting. To join a game, you need a unique PIN. If you're the game host, you need a big screen. Players answer on their own devices, while questions are displayed on a shared screen. In addition to live games, you can also send kahoot challenges that players complete at their own pace - for example, for homework or remote training.

A Systemic Framework

For a growing number of schools and districts, SEL has become a coordinating framework for how educators, families, and communities partner to promote students' social, emotional, and academic learning.

SEL is embedded in their strategic plans, staffing, professional learning, and budgets. It guides their curriculum choices and classroom instruction - both direct practice in SEL as well as integrated instruction with reading, math, history, and other core subjects.

It drives many of their schoolwide practices and policies. It informs how adults and students relate with each other at all levels of the system, creating a welcoming, participatory, and caring climate for learning.

It shapes their partnerships with families and community members, highlighting engagement, trust, and collaboration.

And it works. Check out the research.

Critical Thinking Tools to help Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, Creating

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Education professionals have long tried to find a way to help students effectively develop critical thinking skills in simple and accessible ways. And such methods have been found. One of them is Bloom's taxonomy. It is a tool that is a hierarchical model of thinking skills, which consists of six different levels.

What Is Bloom's Taxonomy?

The taxonomy of educational goals includes:

Knowledge - memorization and reproduction of the studied topic.

Understanding - interpretation of the received information.

Application - the practical use of data in a particular situation.

Analysis - processing data in parts for better understanding.

Synthesis is the combination of ideas to create something new.

Evaluation - the formation of conclusions with the help of criteria and standards.

At each level, certain algorithms for the operations of mental activity are mastered.

How to apply Bloom's taxonomy?

One useful technique for developing critical thinking using this tool is the "Question Daisy." It consists of six types of questions:
1) Simple questions - Who? When? Where? How?
They presuppose knowledge of certain facts.
2) Clarifying questions - Did I understand correctly...?
Their goal is to obtain missing information that could be implied in the available data.
3) Practical questions - How can I apply...?
Used to establish a link between theory and practice.
4) Explanatory questions - Why?
They are needed to establish causal relationships.
5) Creative questions - What will happen if...?
Needed to predict the outecomes of a decision.
6) Evaluation questions - How do you feel about it?
They define the criteria for evaluating events.

There is another interesting technique called "Bloom's Cube." Its task is to check the assimilation of knowledge by the student. The die has 6 faces on which questions should be written that touch on different aspects of the current topic. After choosing the topic of the lesson, the student rolls the die and comes up with a question on the educational material, depending on the face that fell out. And the questions can be the most different. For example:

Describe (shape, size, color, name, etc.)

Compare (compare a given object or phenomenon with similar ones, indicate similarities and differences)

Name the association (with what you associate an object, a phenomenon)

Make an analysis (what it consists of, how it works, etc.)

Apply (give examples of use or show application)

Evaluate (indicate all the "pluses" and "minuses")

A question starting with the word "Name ..." may correspond to the level of reproduction, i.e., the simple reproduction of knowledge. Questions starting with the words "Why ..." correspond to procedural knowledge. Children in this case must find causal relationships and describe the processes that occur with a particular object or phenomenon. When formulating the question "Explain ..." the student analyzes the studied material, and when answering, they apply knowledge to new practical situations.

The taxonomy of Benjamin Bloom provides practical assistance to the modern teacher, and it is an effective tool in the hands of a practicing teacher both in teaching students how to solve problems and in evaluating learning outcomes.

What motivates us to work? Contrary to conventional wisdom, it isn't just money. But it's not exactly joy either. It seems that most of us thrive by making constant progress and feeling a sense of purpose. Behavioral economist Dan Ariely presents two eye-opening experiments that reveal our unexpected and nuanced attitudes toward meaning in our work.

Helping younger children stay safe while searching for valuable information on the internet can be challenging. Fortunately, there are search engines designed exclusively for kids that can reduce the risks of online information gathering.

Valerie Morrison, Stephanie Novak and Tim Vanderwerff, authors of the book series Meeting Common Core Technology Standards, share kid-friendly search engines as well as search tips for beginners in this excerpt from Meeting Common Core Technology Standards, 3-5:
Search engines
Teaching students which keywords to use and how to analyze search results will definitely help them find better sources and think more critically about any information they find on the internet. Following are some tips to help when teaching students to conduct a search.

Choose your search terms carefully. Be precise about what you are looking for, though you should use phrases and not full sentences.

Add more words to narrow a search. Use Boolean searches to narrow your topic with quotation marks. There's a big difference between the search term "gopher" and "habitats of gophers in North America."

Use synonyms. If students can't find what they're looking for, have them try keywords that mean the same thing or are related.

Search within a site. Typing the word site: (with the colon) after your keyword and before a URL will tell Google to search within a specific website.

Add a minus sign. Adding a minus sign immediately before any word, with no space in between, indicates that you don't want that word to appear in your search results. For example, "Saturn -cars" will give you information about the planet, not the automobile.

Kid-friendly search engines

Protecting students from unsafe content is the most important reason for using search engines made specifically for kids. Allowing your students to have the run of the web using a search engine for young students helps you, because it is difficult to monitor an entire class that is using unfiltered search engines.

Of course, there is no guarantee that results will be safe even when using a search engine tailored for children. Many districts have filters on their networks, but if yours does not, we suggest you explore the following.

: A free web search site designed for kids by librarians with kid-friendly results. For grades 2-5.

Safe Search Kids: This is a custom search engine using Google's Safe Search features with additional filtering to block more potentially harmful material than if you simply use Google. It is fun, colorful and easy for kids to use.

Google Kid Search: This is another safe search engine powered by Google for Grades K-8. However, please be aware there are ads on this site.

Yahoo for Kids: Yahooligans is a safe search engine for young students (K-2) picked by editors at Yahoo.

: This is a free, filtered search engine for Grades K-6.

Post-it and other brands of sticky notes are put to good use everyday by teachers and students. The Post-it website has a page filled with resources for teachers, and they have a really cool iOS app for digitizing, sorting, and sharing square sticky notes.

Those small pieces of paper that can be attached, easily removed, and repositioned can be even more useful when you print on them. While there is a printer designed to print sticky notes, you can send sticky notes through the printer you already have. You'll need a template for printing, and I just so happen to have one for you. Skip ahead to see loads of ideas for printed sticky notes.

The template is in Google Slides. Why Google Slides? It's one of my favorite design tools, and does not have to be limited to slideshows. The template has a custom page setup of 8.5 by 11 inches to match standard printer paper. I'm sharing the file in a way that forces you to make your own copy. You can edit your copy and use Google Slides' design tools to print your personalized design.
