Educators can use collaboratively it to edit and share the forms. Educators can use Google Forms to assess students and give feedback and receive feedback from students and parents. Students can use Google forms to assess their own learning and set learning goals. I used Google Forms to create digital worksheets for students, which provides immediate feedback to not only myself but students. Due to the fact that it is graded automatically and a summary of all answers can be viewed instantly under the “responses” tab. It is easier for me to spot which questions were missed and which concepts to review for students.]]> 2022-05-16 03:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tainaclarke1/Bookmarks/wish/2185054194 tainaclarke1 https://padlet.com/tainaclarke1/Bookmarks/wish/2185068813 Edpuzzle is a web-based tool for editing online videos and adding interactive content to target specific learning objectives. EdPuzzle allows teachers to assign students videos to watch, view if and how long students watched the video, if they re-watched any sections, and track student/whole class responses to the questions. I used Edpuzzle to edit animated cartoon (YouTube) videos, and insert multiple-choice and open-ended questions for students to answer based on lesson content. Which helps me to check student understanding. As well, students receive immediate feedback in multiple-choice quizzes. The link I've provided is a quiz that I will use as homework, which asks for students to "Find the Theme" of a story video by observing the characters, setting, plot, and conflict. ]]> 2022-05-16 03:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tainaclarke1/Bookmarks/wish/2185068813 tainaclarke1 https://padlet.com/tainaclarke1/Bookmarks/wish/2185097392 2022-05-16 04:17:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tainaclarke1/Bookmarks/wish/2185097392 tainaclarke1 https://padlet.com/tainaclarke1/Bookmarks/wish/2185098729 Kahoot is a quiz-based learning platform that works for hybrid learning and flipped classroom situations by making learning fun and engaging. It is a game-based learning platform and it can be used to review students' knowledge, for formative assessment, or as a break from traditional classroom activities.
It is a student-response tool, that allows teachers to run game-like quizzes and build presentations with embedded quizzes. Educators can use Kahoot to draw on course content to construct quizzes in which students participate as players in the game. I used Kahoot as an assessment tool, to check students' understanding of the lesson content: Making Inferences and Drawing Conclusions.]]> 2022-05-16 04:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tainaclarke1/Bookmarks/wish/2185098729 tainaclarke1 https://padlet.com/tainaclarke1/Bookmarks/wish/2185125664 YouTube is a video-sharing website that makes it easy to watch online videos. It allows teachers to search for videos on a wide range of academic subjects. As well, videos can be used to engage visual learners on lesson content.
