Tips For Teaching w/Technology

We'll Support You In Class!

Do you want help introducing a tech tool to your students?

Aidan, Kris & myself are more than happy to help introduce tech (remote, or IRL) to your class. We can also spend time, or an entire Digital Essentials class period helping your students, or supplementing an existing project in your curriculum!

If it makes sense for one of us to come in more than other (ex: Do you want Kris' database, or Sora expertise? Aidan's website building skills?) We can come into your class even if we don't regularly teach Digital Essentials in that grade. 

Just let us know as a team in advance, & we will work out the logistics.

We are also as excited as you are to help in a more significant way with interdisciplinary projects. Let's collaborate!

About Quizizz:

Quizizz is a free quiz, and flashcard creating platform. On Quizizz, teachers can create their own quizzes in multiple formats for any subject, or content area. There is also a library on Quizizz of pre-created quizzes available in many different content areas, which are available to browse, use, & assign to your class for free.
Quizzing formats in Quizizz include:
  • Multiple Choice
  • Checkbox
  • Fill-in-the-blank
  • Poll
  • Open-ended

Technology Requirements:

Teachers can create, and assign quizzes on Quizizz from any device. However, it is probably easiest to use Quizizz on a laptop.

Students can interact with Quizizz from the Quizizz app (iPads), or on an Internet browser (Safari, or Chrome) once the quiz code has been shared with them. 

Here is a link with the minimum device requirements for Quizizz listed!
