Our librarian has made us a Destiny Discover page on our chromebook's so we can easily get to each site or app. We have several favorites. Math- Zearn and Xtra Math, Reading- Lexia, Epic, and Reading Evgs. Review- Kahoot and Blookit. We have others we use sometimes but these are used regularly! #iteachfirst

Classkick - for many reasons and applications
Google Slides - for students to create a visual and written explanation of a new topic
Edpuzzle - to share new information from Youtube and to check for understanding as the student views the video

I am not familiar with Classkick! What do grade level do you use this with the most?

I have introduced my students to both FlipGrid and Canva. FlipGrid was particularly engaging as students enjoyed viewing classmates videos.

@Clark We LOVE FlipGrid! Have you heard of GridPals? It’s the same thing but penpals with another class in another school. My students love it so much and are so engaged!

My students like Legends of Learning because they can practice math facts and earn prizes and create avatars. They also like Book Creator because they can create their own books by adding pictures and writing about them.

We use Freckle and Boddle! I’ve also used Gimkit for review (as well as Kahoot and Quizziz). When I was a classroom teacher, I would do Prodigy Fridays for practice after we did the mini lesson and my kids loved it!

We use Dreambox as a district, but Legends of Learning and Prodigy are good too.
