EDSOCRATIVE

 EDSocrative

    This post is about a website I tested called EDSocrative. I chose this as one of 3 to look at for the 7 Events framework activity sheet. I created my own account and class, to be able to fully interact and explore the website. Logging into the Educator account the home page has tabs across the top; Launch, Library, Discover, Rooms, Reports and Results. 

    The launch tab is considerably the "home page" giving you 6 options. Quiz where you can launch a quiz that you have saved to your account. When selecting launch, and the quiz, it gives you more options in which how you want questions to be shuffled, attempts, how you want the quiz to be paced or monitored, etc. Space Race, is essentially the same as quiz only now it has the emphasis of speed and time. Allowing you to create teams, adjust the timing etc. Exit Ticket, has a totally different layout than those two, but essentially allows you to assign something for the whole class to complete. With this website and page you can monitor who has finished and thus has "earned" their "exit". Below are the last 3 of the 6. These are with the title of "Quick Question". The 3 options being multiple choice, true or false, and short answer. It is one question, and students are invited in to answer. 

    The library tab is where you can organize and access your saved quizzes/tests. This page allows you to duplicate, edit, and share them. And is pretty easy to follow steps for.

    The discover tab allows you access the already available lessons on the website similar to Edpuzzle. You can find test based on 5 subjects, Math, ELA, Science, Social Studies, and World Languages. When clicking on a subject you can filter them through, Common Core Standards, number of questions, keywords, grade levels, and more. You can view them or copy them to your library instantly. You can even go as far assigning specific questions, rather than doing a full test.

    The rooms tab is where you manage your classes, and the students within them. Then we have reports, and results. Reports focuses on the outcomes of the tests, and quizzes. Whereas results seems to focus on only quick questions. 

    The design of the website is very simple, not very busy. This is great for accessibility, and organizing of content.

    Hi Caitlyn!
    I enjoyed your blog post, this is a technology I have never heard of, so it was fun to learn about! I liked how simply the website is laid out, it seems like a great online classroom tools with it's different functions, especially for an early grade since they don't need as many bells and whistles. I also thought it was cool that you can filter questions through CC Standards, that's a great feature! Nice job!

Post #7:BLACKBOARD

 In this post I will be discussing Blackboard, a technology from Dr. Wang's "Top 15 mentioned technologies in the classroom" List.           Blackboard seems to be very similar to Canvas. I believe this is the website my dad had to use when completing college courses online through the Army. It has your course and ways to sort/filter through them. It has Calendar, Messages, Grades, and a tab for assistance for your use. I played around with all the different tabs, but you also can learn through tutorials. In the grading tab its visually pleasing being organized by the class, then by the assignment. With each showing how many have submitted and have not.           It seems to have generated a fake class for me to try out in the free trial. In the grading tab it even had a spot labeled originality for their posts. Some students have a green check, others have an orange dash, and one student has a red x. I clicked on this stu...

Post #12: Kahoot

 In this post I will be discussing Kahoot, a technology listed in many slides, in Dr. Wang's powerpoint. Please use the link below to visit the website.  https://kahoot.com/         The first time I had participated in Kahoot was when I came to Spokane my sophomore year of high school. It was typically used as a brain break towards the end of class, and would be about disney, or any topics we chose. Then some teachers started using it as a review game for upcoming assessments.           Now going to the website it seems that there are a lot of different ways and usage for this website. I was only ever on the student side when using kahoot, so I didn't realize you could log on and create your own.  The customization of your assessments is great for the range of topics you can cover in classes. It allows teachers to make it personal for their class. It creates a great engaging opportunity for all classes and grades. I could ...
