My favourite digital tool by Maja Balcerzyk

Mentimeter

2023-01-26 10:54:00 UTC

I like to use Mentimeter to get an overview over a group's opinion and initiate a thought process regarding different topics.
Mentimeter is very easy to use. You can prepare different slides and grant students access via a QR Code or a link.

I also use Mentimeter to create these word clouds, mainly for vocabulary or associations. The more people enter the same word the bigger it becomes.

Miro

2023-01-26 11:00:24 UTC

Miro is a digital whiteboard students can work on at the same time. Although there are many templates to structure different processes, I usually stick to an open format using "sticky notes". Here you can see a pre-reading activity. I also use Miro to create word webs with my students

Learning Snacks is a German website but something similar probably exists in other countries too. The most effective way to use Learning Snacks is probably to let students create Snacks themselves, e.g. on grammar.

LearningApps

2023-01-26 11:12:47 UTC

Learning Apps offers lots of quizzes on all types of different subjects. Here is a Maths one about geometry. I mainly use it to revise aspects students might already have forgotten.

COGGLE

Coggle is an online tool for creating and sharing mindmaps. Mindmap tools help individuals connect ideas, synthesize a large volume of information, explore relationships between concepts, think creatively,
and retain information. Coggle provides a collaborative workspace where users can
share ideas, solve problems, and communicate complex information.

QUIZZIZ

ildikobernad — 2023-02-01 15:42:07 UTC

I also use Quizizz - a Learning platform that offers multiple tools to make a classroom fun, interactive and engaging. As a teacher, you can create lessons, conduct formative assessments, assign homework, and have other interactions with your students (for all grades) in a captivating way.Quizizz

(opens in new tab). My students said that Quizzez makes learning more fun with game-based interactions and an ability to work through a quiz using their own devices.

Collaborative worksheets (e.g. Google Docs)

2023-02-23 08:58:38 UTC

A creative way of using online document apps such as Google Docs is to create a document with a set of of tasks which can be edited by a group of students simultaneously in real time. This way, the students can fill in a table during group work and the results can be presented easily using a digital board. The document can later be saved to a .pdf file and handed out to students either digitally or even in printed form.
