This program allows them to experience an online world while practicing math skills. One nice thing about the program is I can pick the skills I want the students to practice and can tailor it to individual needs]]> 2017-08-17 18:22:13 UTC https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/181503524 joshedwa https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/183931951 Students are very excited to use Raz Kids in the classroom. This program gives each child a "virtual" library of leveled books. The teacher can go in and set the level for the students and as they read books they earn stars to level up. There are also quizzes given with stories to make sure students understand what they are reading.

logs in every day and spends 10-15 minutes learning new facts, practicing current facts through games. The goal each day is to get the "green light".  Once a student gets the green light the store opens and allows them to buy items for their avatar.  ]]> 2017-09-19 13:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/188877974 joshedwa https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/190209234 Kahoot is a fun online program that helps reinforce skills in a trivia type setting. Each student enters a PIN code into their iPad and they then type in their name. I start the Kahoot(that I have created or you can use one already created) and the question will appear on the screen with 4 answer choices. Students 
then use their iPads to "buzz" in with the correct answer. After every question there is a leaderboard showing students if they are in the top 5.

Each student has their own virtual journal. They can take pictures, make videos and record their voice. Then students can view other students journals and "like" and make comments so students can get feedback from their peers. Every post must be approved by the teacher first so it makes it a safe and fun place for students to go and view the learning that is happening in the classroom. ]]> 2017-10-13 13:37:15 UTC https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/196804796 joshedwa https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/197353442 Students use their iPads to log onto the envision website to take topic tests and review skills. ]]> 2017-10-16 14:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/197353442 joshedwa https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/220788950 Student use their iPads to use a website called my storybook.com to make online stories.]]> 2018-01-11 20:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/220788950 joshedwa https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/259727339 Students use their iPads daily during calendar math. They use the whiteboard app to answer 
math questions and to practice skills that are being taught during each topic. ]]> 2018-05-10 17:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/259727339 joshedwa https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/259729305 Students log on to Envision to complete quick checks for each math lesson. Quick
checks are used to assess students understanding of the math lesson. Each quick check has 5 questions. The goal is for students to get all 5 questions correct or miss just one. If more than one question is missed then students must go back and try the problems again.]]> 2018-05-10 17:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/259729305 joshedwa https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/320381215 I use this application for academic achievements. Students earn points for getting a score of 85% or higher on spelling tests, math tests, reading and writing assessments. I can also communicate with parents directly through this application. I post daily "homework alerts" with a picture of that day's homework assignment. I also use classroom dojo to send home weekly newsletters. ]]> 2019-01-14 16:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/320381215 joshedwa https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/320384451 This is a website that we use in the classroom to supplement skills that students need continued practice with. One big area that I use this is with grammar. I can assign lessons to students targeting skills that they still need practice with. As students work on lessons and answer questions correctly they "bank" game time that can be used at the end of the moby max time. I also make contests weekly that students can participate in. ]]> 2019-01-14 16:38:34 UTC https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/320384451 joshedwa https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/338079096 Students use epic books during independent reading time. We also use it for read aloud sometimes. I can group students and assign them books that I have selected.
Students watch videos on animals to conduct research. ]]> 2019-03-05 18:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/joshedwa/yaf1z9gfaunl/wish/338079096
