1. I've noticed that my students aren't as engaged with my lessons as I had hoped, so I'm thinking of new ways to involve them and have them do some participatory learning. I know about the tools Voicethread and Peardeck, and I can't decide which one to use. Which tool will have the greatest impact on my students and their engagement with the material?
2. I would like to do a formative assessment of my students now that we've gotten to the end of the unit. I'd like to know if I need to do any remediation or provide enrichment depending on students' mastery of the content. I'm trying to decide between Kahoot and a Google Forms Quiz to give the assessment. Which will give me the feedback I'm looking for?

3. My students are researching and I want them to easily cite sources. I know EasyBib is the go-to student citation generator, but I'm curious about how the Google Explore tool might work. It might be easier to keep students in their Google Doc then sending them out to another website, but I'm not sure. Which citation generator will allow my students to cite their sources most easily?
4. My students are working on a project where they need to narrate the steps they took to solve a problem. I can't decide if I should gather their responses in Flip or if I should have them use Screencastify to show what they did. Which tool will best capture the processes the students used to accomplish their goals?
|
5. I'd like for my students to read historical documents, then answer questions to have discussions about them. I recently heard that ActivelyLearn has a huge library of primary documents that come with questions. I might use that, but a colleague told me about InsertLearning, an extension that can turn any website into content for students. I can add my own questions there and utilize its tools to customize the student experience. Which tool will do the best job of getting students excited about old documents?
