📝 Kamihq.com is an online webtool that allows you to upload a PDF and type, write, & highlight directly on it. You can then save the modified form to Google Drive or download it to your computer.

💸 My students and I use only the FREE version. There is a paid version but I wouldn't waste your money.

🎨 Another option besides Kami is Google Draw. I sometimes save my PDF (especially if it's a graphic organizer) as a JPG and paste the image it into Google Draw for students to type into using text boxes.

🍭 To convert a PDF to a JPG go to   pdfcandy.com (Bowles introduced me to this beautiful site 🙌🏻)

😍 Side note: I'm kind of obsessed with Google Draw and want to show you all the amazing possibilities that it has. I made the infographic using Google Draw (https://docs.google.com/open?id=13p4CrZUMdgOhzgWbqBgOWnn1J-v8qiwa9CeS3aCqUmE)

1. Use Emojis
Ideas on how to use emojis in the classroom:
1. Ticket out the door- Using only emojis summarize the notes

2. First day of school: Describe yourself using emojis

3. Describe a historic person or character from a novel using only emojis

4. Other ideas

2. Google Searching during Lecture

Include stopping points in your lectures where students have to research what terms mean before you tell them.

For example- I put a spinning wheel in my PPT.

Spin the wheel and have students google search on their phones the word you want them to learn: for example, "Robber Barons"

Using their white boards (unless acting out) students will explain the term using what the wheel assigns

4. Heads Up/Charades

Heads Up is a fun game you can download on your smartphone. I Highly recommend the $1 cost of this app to play with friends and family. It also allows you to build your own deck. allowing you to create your own deck of content vocab words to review with your kiddos. It is an additional $1 to build your own deck.
LETS PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!
STUDENTS WILL NOW LOVE POP QUIZZES

6. Quizizz
What is Quizizz?

Online quiz creator that is super-easy to use for both student and teacher

Start a "Live" game in class, or assign Quizizz as a fun "Homework" task. You control the competition by toggling the leader board, timer and other settings.

Students play together, but each at their own pace. Gamfication elements like avatars, leader board and funny memes add to the fun! Review your work in the end.

WORKS ON ANY DEVICE not just phones

7. QR Codes

* What are they?

A Quick Response Code is a digital image that can be scanned without the beam of light needed to scan barcodes at the supermarket.

* How to use it

They can be scanned using one of the many free QR scanner apps available for smart phones and tablets. When you scan the code, you'll be taken directly to a website.

QR Code Ideas

8. PicCollage
What is it good for?
Replace poster paper through PicCollage, add images, stickers, and text. This can be done on smartphones and tablets. (FYI- Many of my students uploaded their PicCollage Posters on a Padlet).
Examples:
Camera - Photo Scavenger Hunt:

11. Flipgram:

What is Flipgram?

It is an app for phones & tablets where students can import photos they took or found online which is then transformed into a video slideshow. Students can add music and captions.

15. Last Tech Tool: SMORE
