TwosDay - Steve - More From Flippity

About 2 years ago, Mandie introduced us to Flippity, an online tool for creating custom flashcards.  Flippity has since added a variety of resources to its repertoire, many of which are aimed at student engagement and academic gaming.  Each of these fully customizable tools can be created through the use of a template in Google Sheets. Whether you’re looking for a quiz show game, a Bingo card generator, or a crossword puzzle creator, Flippity has got you covered!  This would also be a great tool for your students to use to enhance a class project or presentation.

TwosDay - Sean - Can Do With Canned Responses

Sometimes, we have scenarios where we find ourselves using the same response over and over again. Or, maybe we want our students to create a consistent message over periods of time. Instead of re-creating that message each time, there’s a nice little feature in email called canned responses that we can use or teach our students to leverage.

TwosDay - Shona - Moellers Valuable Player

Celebrating successes (element 3) is such a lovely part of Design Question 1.  This year, I created an initiative in my PE classes designed around the values of sportsmanship, fairness, inclusive play, and positive attitude.  To introduce the topic, I created a Powtoon, a check for understanding, a google certificate, emails sent home to parents and students, and stickers for PE daily tracker. 

TwosDay - Bob - Classroomscreen for Classroom Management

A lot of teachers build many activities into their lessons. Classroomscreen.com is a free-website that offers several classroom management widgets to help orchestrate those activities and keep students on task with them.
