Google Slides

Google Slides--- Love Them!

I use shared google slides ALL THE TIME!!!   I love my students working together on projects and then sharing them.  I usually let them pick which slides to work on and require them to include citations.  We start almost every book like this, researching everything from settings, authors, or themes that will connect to our upcoming books.

See our one from last week:  Slideshow

Good ole Prezi

Prezi is fun and easy

Use it for assessment, presentation, or for giving lesson material.

Here's a sample:   Julius Caesar

Stripgenerator

This is a new site that I found and haven't used too much.  I had the kids make a comic strip for a illustrate a poem.  The kids seemed to like it.  There are lots of figures and icons to choose from.  

I'm thinking of having the kids make a strip for each act of Romeo and Juliet - something different to try.

Quizlet

This is a great study tool.  I know a lot teachers already use it, but just in case you don't, take look at it.  I use this with vocabulary and terms.  It has flashcards, quizzes, games, etc.  You can even assign a test.

Students are very familiar with this site and many even create their own quizlets.

Cliptomize

Let's Make a Book!

Cliptomize allows for really cool "Scrapbooking."  I have used other sites like this one for book report projects.  My students have created chapter summaries they then shared before a test as review.

This one is very easy and gives a share link which is nice.  The kids will have to create an account though.

Playposit - formly educanon

Add videos from youtube then add questions and explanations/information for the kids to learn.  I have used this for Romeo and Juliet and also had the kids make their own videos to share with the class.

A lot of different bulbs (videos) are ready to use on the site.

Students join your class so you can assign bulbs/videos.

Thinglink

Students can make Thinglinks for projects or reports.  I had students make book reports in English.  My history kids used a Thinglink for battle description.  These can also be put into a channel, which creates a slide show.

Students can join your class and/or follow you - like twitter.

There are many different Thinglinks available to use in your class.
