Classtools.net

I have always like the classtools.net
For classification I have used dustbin.
For choosing the students I have the random name picker tool and fruit machine.
https://www.classtools.net/random-name-picker/ most useful and the students get really excited seeing their names picked. Just select the whole list from your excel or doc, copy and paste!  You can even save it and create bookmark on your browser.
Tried out the 3D Gallery as plate tectonics
Recently one teacher shared on using
The arcade game. Looks fun too!

Liveboard

Sharing on Liveboard with my colleagues today



 Liveboard 24 april 2018 from Lily Lee  (ignore the sharing session code shown - it has ended)

Forgot to share that they can switch off the audio in setting. I hope they are reading this. 😁

As I share, I learn.

Learned from my colleague there is a similar app - Explain everything - might explore that.

Some hiccups in the sharing which probably needs to feedback to app developer

1. Some cannot login - it says profile not found. student will get discouraged when cannot login
2. Some of the drawing (annotation) are not visible on the other ipad (host) - not captured in the recording as well
3. though sharing can be done on browser, recording function not visible.

Good points:
3. That with ipads - sharing the recordings or drawing is easy with airdrop
4. I could collect the recordings from the different group of teachers - it can be saved for future reference.

A comparison of 4 interactive whiteboard - including explain everything and liveboard

Kahoot Challenge

Another new feature on Kahoot is that you can assign it as homework. Students can play the challenges in their own time and get instant feedback. 
However the students can only run it on the kahoot app so they need to download it.

You can share the link and pin in the Google classroom, via email or even WhatsApp. I normally give them a 3 day window for the challenge. You can then get the results by clicking on the Kahoot you have assigned as homework and then click on the challenge followed by the leadership board. Make sure you are signed in to your account.

Click on the top menu on questions to see the results of individual question.

What I like most is that by analysing the results, I could see the questions which the students are weakest in and I could then clarify in class e.g. students are still weak in wave refraction and impacts on headland and bay.

I was rather surprised that there are students who cannot identify a sea arch. This is definitely something which the challenge help me to see parts which I have assumed that the students already knew.

Again my reservation on using this is that no all have smart phone which they need to download the app. But overtime as smartphone or even iPad are available to all, this should not be an issue then.
