Teen Tech Week March 6-12

Teen Tech Week is next week as sponsored by YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association).  I know that everyone is in the testing mindset, so here are some goodies that you can add to your Google Classroom for when students are done with testing but need to be working independently on something.

A Google a Day Challenge
Each day the challenge changes.  You start with a question and try to use your Google search skills to arrive at the correct answer and advance to the next challenge.  Tips and tricks as well as hints are given, but the key is not to type the entire question into the Google search.  Tough, I know.


Google Smarty Pins
The object of this website is to answer trivia questions in a variety of categories.  A question is asked, and you have to find the location of the answer by dropping a pin on a Google Map.  Pretty fun!


Build with Chrome
Legos!  Students can enter the Build Academy to learn the ins and outs on how to build, or they can simply "Start Building" and learn on their own.  If they "Enter the world of build," they will see all the creations that other people have made and published, and can add to the world, anywhere on the map.

The World of Build

I'm sure you have your own little gems to offer to the students, but these are just a few, little known, Google ones that everyone should know about.  More to come!

Classroom Screen: Widgets Galore!

Image
Classroom Screen was created by a teacher in the Netherlands because he couldn't find all the tools he needed for his classroom in one place.  It's a website that displays multiple widgets at a time; ideal for bell work, exit tickets, group work, and more. The widgets available are: Traffic light (think Macbook usage) Timer Stopwatch Clock & calendar Work symbols (ex. talk to your partner, work silently, etc.) Drawing tools QR code generator Classroom noise level Random name picker Dice See them in action here: All of these options are available on the website where you can upload your own background or choose from one of the stock photos.  Think about when you have multiple groups working and they need separate instructions: divide the webpage in half and use different widgets for each group.   I can see this website being used for students when they come in to journal or complete bell work and then for the end of class with action items and/o

Readsy

Image
Readsy  is a free website that " help[s] you skim large amounts of text by focusing your eyes on one word at a time without having to move them."   It was created by a computer science undergrad at Princeton.  Readsy is a great tool for struggling readers or others that get overwhelmed by a lot of text at one time.  Retention and comprehension should not be affected. To get started with Readsy, visit the site and have some text in mind to use, or you can choose a sample and Readsy will choose text for you.  You can copy and paste a URL (news article, blog post, etc.), copy and paste text (Google Doc writing sample, or student work), type into the site itself, or upload a file.  Once you have copied/pasted or uploaded your text, click "Readsy". Readsy defaults to 300 wpm, but you can adjust that speed to be slower or faster as needed. Here is a two-minute overview of Readsy in action: Next week, we will talk about the companion website: Spritz
