 KAHOOT Pros:  Kahoot is a platform with a friendly user interface, which makes it extremely fun to use. I use this program in a lot of my classes, as it is definitely a fan favorite. Students are more engaged when it comes to learning due to how interactive a platform Kahoot is. After inputting questions based on the unit covered in class, Kahoot generates a pin that students are able to enter into the Kahoot website in order to join the game. While the game is in session, they are able to choose a color that corresponds to the answer choices on the board. Students get really excited because everyone wants to be on the leaderboard at the end of the game. Doing review questions in class without Kahoot is a hassle because nobody wants to answer the questions in fear of being wrong. However, with Kahoot, everyone is able to participate and it makes the classroom setting more lively. I especially love how Kahoot provides a graph of the student answers after they are submitted bec...

 QUIZLET How Can I Teach With Quizlet? If students need to memorize facts, Quizlet is an ideal tool that removes some of the drudgeries while adding some handy features. Teachers can ask students to use Quizlet on their own time as homework or to create their own custom flashcard sets for Quizlet Live competitions. They might also help students create flashcard decks to share with the class. Unlike traditional flashcards, Quizlet could be a great study tool for subjects with a lot of visual or auditory content. Teachers can create detailed diagrams or add supporting photos to data sets using their own images or some from Quizlet's large pool of licensed Flickr photography. It's also super easy to attach a voice recording to a term or definition, which would be really useful in a language classroom. For students needing instructional support, Quizlet Explanations are step-by-step tutorials pulled from thousands of popular textbooks that teach specific math and science conc...

EDMODO Edmodo is a social network for students, teachers, parents, and schools. It can be used to share assignments and grades, host discussions and post videos, schedule appointments, and create and take polls. It was created by two school district IT professionals who knew that schools typically blocked social networking sites. The two founders, Nic Borg and Jeff O’Hara created Edmodo in 2008 to adapt a connecting and sharing tool to the security and privacy needs of a school environment.  Since then, Edmodo has become widely used with more than 21 million registered users as of mid-2013. Edmodo is widely referred to as “Facebook for schools.” Teachers use the platform to communicate with students, assign work, start group discussions, submit grades, administer polls, post resources, and create events. By creating specific classes, each with a unique code that lets students join a particular Edmodo group, teachers can filter what information they share with each class. (In additi...
