District Wide Information

During the High School building level PLC time last Wednesday teachers presented how they were using the following tools in their classroom for formative assessments or for student learning.

Poll Everywhere - http://www.polleverywhere.com/
Poll Everywhere an easy way to poll student learning, opinions, or background knowledge.  It is easy to set up and use with computer, iPad or cell phone access. 

Go Soap Box - http://gosoapbox.com/ Go Soap Box is similar to Poll Everywhere in that you can poll students. But it also has backchanneling capability where students can ask questions as presentations by you or classmates share information.  This is a great way to get students to ask questions.  Especially those that may otherwise be too shy to raise their hand.


Socrative - http://socrative.com/ Mitch Maxwell has used Socrative in his science classrooms and has some terrific tips to get started at the following slide presentation.
