 One way to implement this In the classroom is to create a Jeopardy-like game,  using flashcards. For example the question will pop up. Students can buzz in and the teacher can share the correct answer.  when the game is over the teacher can email the flash cards and resources so the students can review at home or with their parents.

This  app is a great resource to stay in constant communication with the child's adult. 
 Some ways to use it in the classroom are giving points when a child finishes their work.  If a child is not getting their daily points then the parents can be notified that they are not completing their tasks in the classroom. I personally like to reward my students at the end of the week by having a ClassDojo store,  where they can redeem their points for  different prices.

There are so many different ways to utilize a jameboard,  some of my favorite ideas are making a think chart  and letting the students create their own post-it for the chart. Another great idea is creating a KWL chart and students can use it throughout the lesson.
