Kahoot is a platform that allows you to create a quiz or survey, which consists of multiple choice questions. <b>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).</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Teachers use<b> </b><a href="https://getkahoot.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://getkahoot.com/</a></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
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, <b>teachers can download results for the class (by student name, question and answer),</b> 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.</div>

After the quiz has been created by the teacher, the <b>students use</b> a <b>launch code</b> that is generated. Student use the website <a href="https://kahoot.it/#/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://kahoot.it/#/</a> by typing in the URL “<b><a href="http://kahoot.it/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">kahoot.it</a></b>”.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
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.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
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. </div>

I think your students will like this video! It is about 4 min. long, and shows <b>close up</b> 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!</div>

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. </div>

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. </div>

<span style="line-height: 14.7200002670288px;">Here is a project idea that integrates technology and transfers a student’s keyboarding skills (learned last year) into the writing of a friendly letter. Students would compose a letter to a friend or relative as a colonist describing why they would support the Patriots, the Loyalists, or the Neutralists using the Friendly Letter Generator as an online tool.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This letter would be written after your students have studied and understand what the each group stood for with the British (Patriots, Loyalists, Neutralists) and be fairly knowledgeable in the events that led up to the Revolutionary War. What a great way to assess higher-order thinking - (defend and support a position, make judgments in regards to strengths and weaknesses of the position, construct a quality letter, evaluate viewpoints, etc.).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
If you would like any assistance with a project like this, or would like for me to post this website on the Mrs. Tush website (in student’s corner), just let me know.</div>

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif;">Digital Storytelling – Honoring the memories of someone special</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif;">Students will write a personal narrative about honoring the memories of someone special to them. What did this individual do to leave/have an impact on your life? They will use the writing process of prewriting, writing, revising, editing and publishing to create the narrative story. While writing, students will apply the 6-traits of writing to create their project: ideas/content, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency & conventions. The final product of digital storytelling will be published through Photo Story 3. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif;">I think that original art work would really make this great - and with each image the students could use voice-over to narrate the story. </span></div>

Then they create labels on the map with business names, followed with cardinal direction labels and an informative essay about where they enjoy going and why.</span><br />

Students write letters to Santa online, using a partially filled template, and then Santa writes back to them within a minute. The letters can be printed when the letter is finished (and there is no saving). </div>

A cross-curricular Science/Language arts activity called the sensory poem. Your students may choose their themes, but they must involve all the senses. <b>Holidays, seasons, and other broad concepts make nice topics</b>. List the five senses -- sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch -- for the students. Tell them that they must address one sense in each line of the poem. The first line should include a color, and the last may include touch or emotion. You may allow students to put the other lines in any order they choose. This could be done on Google docs, and then shared with the teacher.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Here is an example:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Spring</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<b>[Color]</b> Spring is green with bright yellow buds,<br /><b>[Sight]</b> New shoots emerge from the dark brown earth,<br /><b>[Smell]</b> The scent of rain mixes with blossoms in the air,<br /><b>[Hearing]</b> Birds chirp with newfound vibrato in the trees,<br /><b>[Taste]</b> Succulent strawberries ripen in the sun,<br /><b>[Emotion]</b> All is fresh, warm, and beautiful in the world.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you don’t know what an infographic
is, it’s the fusion of graphic design, with data. An infographic takes some data
and turns it into an informational poster which uses a variety of data
representation techniques to communicate the message that emerges from the data.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be done on a computer; paper/pencil works well
too. I’d be happy to show you some paper/pencil samples. I also have some nice
templates for creating digitally. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the meantime, here is a quick tutorial on the infographic
concept. </span><a href="http://www.asmallbrightidea.com/pages/tutorial.html"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">http://www.asmallbrightidea.com/pages/tutorial.html</span></a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">What is a QR Code? QR stands for
Quick Response. It is a bar code that can be generated and then decoded with a
QR Code scanner on a mobile device, to take you to a digital destination. When
scanned, the QR Code can open a web page, bring up a text message, or read a
recorded message. QR Codes are commonly found on posters, signs, menus, signs
and even student work. </span></div>
<br />
<h3>
<b>Step 1) RecordMP3</b></h3>
To record an audio QR Code go to: (no sign up or registration):<br />
<a href="http://www.recordmp3.org/">http://www.recordmp3.org/</a><br />
Then go to QRHacker (see above) to create the QR code.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Step 2) grhacker</b> </h3>
Create QR Codes for a text message, phone numbers or open a URL - (no sign up or registration - very easy to use)<br />
<a href="http://www.qrhacker.com/">http://www.qrhacker.com/</a><br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Audacity</b></h3>
Use Audacity to record and save file as a .wav file. Then add to
DropBox (you must have DropBox downloaded to your computer). Once in
Drop Box, right click the file (within Drop Box). Choose the DropBox
option from the pop up menu. Select "Copy Public Link".<br />
Now you can use QRHacker to create the QR code.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Step 3) If you need an embed code for your wiki or webpage:</b></h3>
Use this QR Code generator to get the html embed code<br />

<h3>
<b>What do I do with the code?</b></h3>
Once the code has been generated, simply download it, copy and paste
it into a document or webpage, or use the mobile-barcodes website to
obtain an embedding code for your wiki or website.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b>Where to get a QR Code Scanner for your Phone or Mobile Device</b></h4>
Some come with barcode readers that are already installed. If not,
just go to the app store and search. You can also Google search "QR
reader for Nokia", "QR reader for Droid", "QR reader for iPhone". I use
the "free QR Code Reader" for my iPhone".<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b><span style="color: red;">Educational Uses:</span> {for students with iPod touches (with cameras) or smart phones</b></h3>
* Display student artwork in the hallway. Add a QR code that provides additional info about the student or artist.<br />
* Display student reports. Add a QR code so that parents/others can listen to a child read the report.<br />
* Add a QR code to the back/inside of a book with a student recorded synopsis of the book/book review/info about the author.<br />
* Create a QR code scavenger hunt in or around the school. Each new QR code provides a new clue.<br />
* Create a QR code to take student directly to a website or video.<br />
* Have students create a QR code to provide additional information to
their resumes (for a 21st century resume). Not only will this help
engage them in technical writing, but also their work will be
innovative.<br />
* Students can create the QR codes that link to content they create.
If students helped create awareness around bullying or digital
citizenship, for example, they might put the codes around the school or
in a parent newsletter. They can take it a step further by creating
codes for a local business or organization.<br />

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 11.5pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">BigHugeLabs is one of my favorite sites where students can make
cool stuff with digital photos. For example, using the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Motivator</i>, students can make their own
inspirational/famous person or inventor motivational posters. With the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Trading Card</i>, students can feature
people of honor with researched facts and a photo. The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Movie Poster</i> can feature a book and
include characters, setting, plot and climax, author info, copyright, etc. or
feature an explorer. If you would like to know more about BigHugeLabs, just
contact me. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></div>
