TwosDay - Cory - Originality Reports

You may have seen that little checkbox pop-up on your G-Class assignments. It is Google launching itself into the battle for academic integrity.  At the moment, it gives students the chance to run checks to see if they have properly given credit to sources, and it gives teachers a report that would flag any content that is not being pulled correctly. Although still in the beta stage, Google has it sights set on competing with the likes of Turnitin.com.

The premise is simple: use the fun and engagement of a scavenger hunt to accomplish meaningful tasks in and out of the classroom.  The uses could stretch into anything from new material to review opportunities as you create a scavenger hunt that allows them to use what they love most- phones!

Flipgrid is a video response system that allows for more student voice in your classroom.  Explanations, reflections, and feedback are given more power because you can hear and see the author of the content.  The best part is that it is free!

TwosDay - Mystery Guest - Peer Tutoring App

Have you thought about using our ARC resources for your classroom?  There a few great ways to easily get the help that is offered.  The VH website can accomplish your needs, but there is also a VH ARC APP that allows you to find specific tutors, help a student of yours book a tutor you may know, or even rent-a-tutor (RAT) for a particular class and day.  These changes are all meant for ease and usability.
