Kahoot Quiz Builder -Played By the Whole Class in Real-Time and Answered On Own Device

Kahoot is a platform that allows you to create a quiz or survey, which consists of multiple choice questions. It’s projected at the front of the classroom, & played by the whole class together in real-time, and answered on their own personal device (Chromebook, laptop, phone, LearnPad – any device that has Internet access).

Teachers use https://getkahoot.com/

It has some very good pre-written quizzes that are applicable to the elementary curriculum that you can use and you can also create your own. Some of the features that make it a great tool are that students get immediate feedback, teachers can download results for the class (by student name, question and answer), making it a great way to know what needs to be retaught.  Also, the quicker a student answers a question, the more points they get …. for some friendly competition.

After the quiz has been created by the teacher, the students use a launch code that is generated. Student use the website https://kahoot.it/#/ by typing in the URL “kahoot.it”.

Some of the prewritten quizzes that you can use are: Ancient Greece, Capital Cities, Hard and Fast Rules for Grammer. Fun with Factoring, I love the HEART, etc.

Teachers register for a free account…. students don’t need an account. I have a help guide if you would like some step-by-step directions for this. I'd also be glad to come to a collab meeting and show you how to create your own quizzes. 

My Father's Garden Video

I think your students will like this video! It is about 4 min. long, and shows close up pictures of insect bodies and faces, and other animals found in a garden, (grasshopper, praying mantis, bee, wasp, snail, snake, dragonfly, etc.). The music is peaceful too!

Penguin Webquest

I have created a webquest for your students while they study about penguins. It covers the Emperor, Adelie, African and King Penguins. Students are asked to research, write and draw for this webquest. It is based on a subscription program called Pebble Go. Without this subscription, you won't be able to use it. 

Here is the webpage that it is created on.

Sensory Room

http://www.sensoryworld.org/

This website is a lot of fun for grade K and other students that need additional mouse or track pad practice. Students can create rooms, explore the seasons, design, and explore rooms of a house while expanding their vocabulary. After each page, students click on the door handle to go back to the main screen.
