At today's staff meeting, the Tappan Technology Committee presented a brief demo of Quizizz, a cool tech tool to help enhance your formative assessments. If you have more questions or would like help working with this great tool, feel free to email anyone from the Tech Team and we can meet for a tutorial. The Tappan Technology Committee is: Kyle Kipp, Daniel Capitan, Yvette Wright, Jen Shaw, Renee Nassar, and Rebecca Lee. Follow this link to try out Quizizz for yourself: https://quizizz.com/ Don't forget, there is a really great 1-hour workshop on Adobe Spark that will be presented on Feb 17 in the library computer lab from 3:30 to 4:30pm. KALPA # 1017765. Practice making high quality content the easy way with this free to educators resource; you and your students can make sharp graphics, videos, and webpages in no time. I know this time of the year is crazy busy but hopefully not be too busy to try and learn new things. Here are a few new tools you should try before the end of the year. The first four were taken from a nice tech blog I follow: Cult of Pedagogy. GOOGLE TOUR CREATOR If you are familiar with Google Expeditions, Tour Creator is a tool you should look into. This tool helps you create your own VR tours. Google cardboards are a very affordable way to use VR in the classroom once you have created a tour. vr.google.com/tourcreator https://youtu.be/2s4rhDbyYo4 GEOGUESSR A very fun geography game that uses Google Street View to drop you somewhere in the world. The challenge is to figure out where you are. You can drive down the road to check out the scenery and signs but can not zoom out. Once you think you know where you are drop a pin on a world map and it gives you a score. Geoguessr.com https://youtu.be/psTKZQ2FB8E WEBJETS Webjets is a great tool for group projects. It is an easy way to get all ideas and digital materials all in one place no matter what they are. This is very much like Padlet but free for educators. Webjets.io https://youtu.be/Si82X8B0Ovc PROWRITINGAID A very nice writing tool that has a free version that if you are an english teacher you should check out. To be honest I should probably start using this on these emails I send out :) Prowritingaid.com https://youtu.be/eHFxbk9ycBo Open Education Resources Open Education Resources (OER) are materials for teaching and learning that are either in the public domain or have been released under a license that allows them to be freely used, changed and shared with others.

Let me know and we can push the app out to any school iPad. www.tynker.com Posted by Chad Bertelson (Borrowed from the Ann Arbor Public Schools' ITD Technology Blog) For those of you that like to use Padlet... If you haven't already heard, the beloved Padlet app is now only offering unlimited walls as part of its paid premium plan ($99/yr). As a current user, you'll be allowed 3 additional walls (on top of the number you currently have).
