It's a trivia-style platform that can be used for review games. However, it can also be used to host quizzes. Making it even better, Quizizz now allows for standards-based alignment through the Ohio State Standards as well as Common Core State Standards (CCSS). A brief "silent-tutorial" is provided below to walk you through this new feature.]]> 2018-06-25 05:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mirusch/iv2m4ndjjay9/wish/268409750 mirusch https://padlet.com/mirusch/iv2m4ndjjay9/wish/268409752 By now, a lot of people have heard about some of the more popular review game options for classrooms (Kahoot! and Quizlet Live come to mind). While relatively new to the market, Gimkit brings its own unique take on review gaming. That's probably due to it's unique origin as a student-created and student-run start-up from a project-based high school near Seattle. Like some games, Gimkit provides students with multiple choice questions and students are tasked with getting as many questions right as they can. Rather than using point, Gimkit uses money, but it also has a unique option to allow students to use their money at the "shop" during the game to purchase upgrades such as earning more money per question, more money during streak bonuses, and more. Check out this walkthrough video to see more details on how the game works.]]> 2018-06-25 05:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mirusch/iv2m4ndjjay9/wish/268409752 mirusch https://padlet.com/mirusch/iv2m4ndjjay9/wish/268409754 Have you ever wanted to find a way to control a Google Slides presentation without having to be at your teacher computer?  If you are a teacher using a Mac (and eventually a PC), then Universal Presenter Remote is for you!  UPR works by adding a simple program to you teacher computer, and then downloading the app to your android phone, iPhone, or Apple Watch.  From there, just put in  the "token code" that shows up and control the progression through slides or animations through a simple touch of your device's screen from anywhere in your room!  Check out the video for a step-by-step tutorial.]]> 2018-06-25 05:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mirusch/iv2m4ndjjay9/wish/268409754 mirusch https://padlet.com/mirusch/iv2m4ndjjay9/wish/268409757 Have you ever wanted to use items from a previous Google Form or Google Forms Quiz?  If you wanted to use most  of the same items, you'd just make a copy of the previous form, eliminate or change some items, and you'd be set.  But what if you want to take a few questions or items from one Form, a couple from another, and so on?  Copying-Pasting would be very tedious, to say the least. 

Well, the scenario above is perfect for the Google Forms add-on called formRecycler.
