I mentioned Kahoot in my last post (about Quizlet). As it turns out, I just read about a new "team mode" in Kahoot. It's designed for when groups of students are sharing a device. As 1-to-1 move up through the grades, this will be less and less of an issue, but for now, this is a good thing to know about!

Quizlet Live
Many teachers and students at CVU use Quizlet to create online flash cards. Quizlet has now introduced Quizlet Live, which uses card sets to create games where teams of students compete against one another. I haven't tried it myself yet, but it sounds similar to the functionality of Kahoot.
So, if you already use Quizlet, why not give Quizlet Live a try?

Socrative student response system
I've written before about PollEverywhere, which allows students to use their phones (or any internet-
connected device) to answer questions (and allows the teacher to see the results immediately--and display them, if desired). This type of student response system is excellent for doing a quick check-in for understanding, taking a poll, or posting students' text responses to the screen.
There's another app out there that is geared more towards the educational setting. It's called Socrative. You can use it for "on the fly" type of questioning, quizzes including different types of questions, or exit tickets. We saw it in action on a recent visit to Burlington HS. The teacher was looking at the results in real-time on his iPad as students worked their way through a formative assessment he had created. This is definitely worth trying. It is free (for now, at least).
I'd be happy to help you get started!
