Notes Thursday, 11 February 2021 9:00 AM Resources: time2learn.com.au Interactive tools to use: RECTV ‘An initiative the Reynella is doing at the moment where students can be news presenters and create anews segment. Camera and microphone set BreakoutEDU (escape room)- get the login and password from Escape room boxes where students have to solve a series of clues to which provide the answers to padlocks to unlock and get to the prize inside the box. There are heaps of different themes and puzzles which relate to subject areas and different topics ‘within each subject. Can also make your own puzzles if needed. REC has a couple of these so deffinelty use them at some point. Knightlab (timelines) Asite where you can create interactive timelines. Can add in photos, videos, and information. Created in excel and then downloaded and created online automatically. All the students have to do is put in the text and link to photos and the websites create it for them. Nearpod: Asite where you can create interactive PowerPoints. You can either insert a presentation that has already been created or make your own in the site (can download slides afterwards as a PDF). You can make quizzes, multiple choice, long answer questions and polls in between slides for students to respond to. The presentation can either be run in class (all students on their own devices) or at home in their own time. I see this as a great way for students who are away to still be engaged in the learning as they will read the slides and then answer the questions in their own time if they miss class, Playposit Similar to nearpod but for videos. Add in questions and polls at different points in the video for the students to respond to. You can then export their answers and use it as formative assessment. This would best be used for homework or flipped sessions before a class activity on the topic to avoid the students spending their class time watching videos. Great site for students to create websites for an assignment. Could also be used as a hub for information about the topic (if tthe school | am working at has a poor learner management system). The site allows for images, videos, links, and pdf to be inserted which people can access. Flipgrid: Flipzrid (link to my page) Flipgrid This would be a good site to use for students to do homework responses outside of class. You post a question/video which the students watch and then they have to create a 90 second video response to your question. | could use this for students to respond as exit tickets, for an overview of what they learned during the lesson, to respond to an image, to show where they are up to with a task, to show a snippet of character development, for homework tasks e.g. Describe a person, or pick an element from your assignment to share some info about.
