I use this to automate selected response grading, give automatic feedback, and randomize question/response order. This is primarily for entrance slips.

Google Forms

When giving students choice in product or process, I use Google Forms to have them select/report their decision.

Blooket/Kahoot

Typically for review. The kids love, but I have to be careful about hacking... Blooket needs more structure to implement. I do like how both can be given as independent review.

I have used this for sub plans/more independent learning (ex: stations).

Loom

Recording video lessons - works well! I love this for sub plans, stations, etc.

Canva/Google Slides

Daily visual slides/posters for class.

Lexia

Supporting discrepant students with language/grammar. Have found this difficult to implement/be consistent with as only certain students had access. This made them feel "different" and closed-off to wanting to use the platform. As a school, we are switching to IXL (which will now be consistent with math) and ALL students will have access, so it can be more seamlessly implemented.

Magic School AI

I have used this once to help me with a complicated parent email, but want to explore it more as it has sooo many features!
