This is a powerful tool for English teachers who struggle with the grading demands of extended writing assignments. If students use a program such as this, they can receive real-time feedback and support and be able to turn in a polished piece that will then allow their teacher to just focus on their ideas versus their conventions, vocabulary, and structure. ]]> 2022-06-03 19:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_bristol/4mf4tfijej1qiic2/wish/2210506340 brittany_bristol https://padlet.com/brittany_bristol/4mf4tfijej1qiic2/wish/2210506792 It is very user-friendly and easy to nagivate! ]]> 2022-06-03 19:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_bristol/4mf4tfijej1qiic2/wish/2210506792 brittany_bristol https://padlet.com/brittany_bristol/4mf4tfijej1qiic2/wish/2210507040 Click on the link to access this app!]]> 2022-06-03 19:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_bristol/4mf4tfijej1qiic2/wish/2210507040 brittany_bristol https://padlet.com/brittany_bristol/4mf4tfijej1qiic2/wish/2210706529 Flipgrid is a platform that allows students to record themselves presenting.

I really like the sound of this platform which allows you to create a multiple of formative assessments and pull detailed standard-based data from students' work. It also has other capabilities, such as allowing students to create portfolios for their work.

The cool thing about this program is it will self-adapt to the student's skill level and provide them with instant, live feedback and detailed explanations. Students can either work on skills directly assigned by their teacher or take the diagnostic test and work on the skills assigned by the program based on their need. This is my number one tool for intervention, remediation work, and skill practice and building. ]]> 2022-06-04 04:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_bristol/4mf4tfijej1qiic2/wish/2210714070 brittany_bristol https://padlet.com/brittany_bristol/4mf4tfijej1qiic2/wish/2210714814 Not only does IXL provide students with opportunities for individualized skill building, but it also provides teachers with detailed data reports, which allow teachers to monitor students' growth and make strategic grouping within the class.]]> 2022-06-04 04:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_bristol/4mf4tfijej1qiic2/wish/2210714814 brittany_bristol https://padlet.com/brittany_bristol/4mf4tfijej1qiic2/wish/2210715059 Click on the link above to learn more or get an account!]]> 2022-06-04 04:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_bristol/4mf4tfijej1qiic2/wish/2210715059
