QR Code Assignment

I have created this assignment using QR Codes. Looking back on this project, I should have put page numbers on each slide. After you read the QR Codes, print the pages and you can create group projects learning about fractions.

Socrative -- Online Quizzes Real-Time Assessment

Socrative is an online application that teachers can use to view students' understanding of the information being taught. This program gives real-time reports for the teachers to see how effective they are teaching. Up to 50 students can be logged in at one time. There are several different types of quizzing methods including quick questions, space race, polls and more.

Summary of ClassPager

ClassPager is an interactive application where teachers can communicate via texting with students. It is safe and does not invade privacy. Neither teachers nor students are given phone numbers. Teachers can send messages to remind students and families about upcoming events, receive feedback on learner understanding, and so much more!

Promethean Favorites

I found a list of favorite downloads for Promethean Planet for 2014. I really like the first download of Cut Up Sentences. This presentation can be very helpful with learning spelling words and seeing them in sentences.

You can find the Top 25 Downloads for 2014 here:

Free Lessons

Promethean Planet can be very helpful when using the smart boards in the classrooms. I think I will be visiting this site often for ideas on how to present certain concepts.

Student Response Cards

I have created some 3 x 5 student response cards for students to use during whole group instruction. While I am explaining a concept, I can ask students either a multiple choice question or a yes/no question. Each student can respond by holding up their answer. This allows for every student to participate with answering questions.
