Each student has their individual logins that are linked to our class. This allows me to assign games, quizzes, NewsEla articles and writing assignments. Students then submit the assignment to me when they're completed. ]]> 2017-11-30 16:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ktarkany/4azls1ml3har/wish/211921131 ktarkany https://padlet.com/ktarkany/4azls1ml3har/wish/211939998 My class read an article and created their own graphic organizers for it's main idea and details.

SMART Labs divides students into teams and they complete review quizzes on their individual iPads. The team that has the most correct answers will score the most points and they win! Afterwards, SMART Labs shows me what percentage of the class missed each question. This makes reviewing a breeze for teachers and very fun and engaging for students. ]]> 2017-12-26 14:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ktarkany/4azls1ml3har/wish/218010456 ktarkany https://padlet.com/ktarkany/4azls1ml3har/wish/218010848 Thanks to Chevron’s Fuel Your School Campaign, my students received two iPads and two Osmo Coding Kits this year.
