Tech Tips

I teach in a 1:1 school where each student has a laptop. We use Canvas as our Learning Management system, which offers a lot of interactive tools. I have used the following resources to supplement our LMS. 

Interactive 

Nearpod - Create a slideshow with prompts where students can type or draw responses, take a quiz, and more.
Socrative - Students respond to questions. Their responses show up anonymously on the projector.
GoFormative - Get live results and give live feedback while students respond to questions.
Kahoot - Students respond to multiple choice questions with a game show feel.
Quizizz - Similar to Kahoot, but it is student-paced rather than teacher-paced. 
ClassKick - Students respond by drawing, making audio recordings, or writing. They can raise a virtual hand to ask for help from teacher or peers. 

Audio Recording 

Google Voice - Students call (on any phone) a fake number. You listen to their voicemails from your Google account. 
Audacity - Audio recording website 
Video Dubbing - Students dub over MP4s using Windows Movie Maker, iMovie, Camtasia, etc. 
Powtoon - Create short videos with audio, text, and visuals 
​LetsRecap - Students respond to multiple questions in short video clips. 

Collaborative 

MysterySkype - Connect with classrooms around the world via Skype
TodaysMeet - Have a conversation or create a backchannel for collaboration 
Padlet - Post notes to a page (think "digital sticky notes")

Grammar Practice

Quizlet - Create flashcards with vocabulary
Conjugemos - Practice conjugating verbs and other grammar topics
Duolingo - Language learning app (you can test out of levels) 

Extras

GeoGuessr - Google Maps drops you anywhere in the world. You guess where you are. 
Phonto - Easily edit pictures to add filters and words
