Fantastic art resources and apps are available on all devices, on the web, as addons for Chrome and Windows, and for showcasing artwork.

Kahoot!

Thanks to Tim Smith for posting- Twitter: @TechnologyTym

"Kahoot! is a free game-based learning platform that makes it fun to learn - any subject, in any language, on any device, for all ages!" - GetKahoot.com

Kahoot! is taking classrooms by storm all over the world. It is a great choice for educators as it supports different learning styles. Teachers can transform a dull assessment to an engaging and at times competitive experience that leaves students asking for more! Kahoot! has two websites: GetKahoot.com is the teacher portal to create a Kahoot! and Kahoot.it can be pulled up via any browser on any device for students to play a game of Kahoot!

Teachers can create or pull from a vast library of educator created Kahoots!, duplicate, and modify to make it their own. Students can play individually with a device or teams can be grouped with one device. Students can finish the game and choose to play in GhostMode to play against their previous score, can be played at a later time, or at home.

Kahoot! is a game changer in education. Imagine students enjoying the process of preparing for standardized tests through a gaming platform. Teams can work together to read questions and review answers, and learn great test taking strategies as teachers review polled answers. Most of all - Kahoot! is FREE, and educators love great FREE resources. Great for young and old alike, everyone loves Kahoot!

Immigration Story - Adobe Spark

"Everyone has a story that matters."

Adobe - Adobe Voice Website

Instructor: Dr. Anete Vasquez
Instructional Technology Coach: Helen Maddox

You will take on the role of a genealogist by creating the story of your family’s immigration to the U.S. whether you are here permanently or temporarily. What brought you to the US? If you do not know much about your family’s journey, tell the parts you do know. You will use Adobe Voice to create this project. You will also address what you can do as a teacher to disrupt commonplace thinking about immigration.
