1. Recite This is a site where you can create posters using quotes. You can type in your own quotes or use the list on the site. They have categories such as dreams, friendship, leadership, motivational, success, etc. Once you type in your quote, next choose a template, and then you can download it, email it, or share it. This could be used by students to research a quote that might represent the theme of a story or students could use it to write a brief review/summary of a story. The posters could then be displayed in the classroom or hallway bulletin board. I created one of a quote I just love by Martin Kaymer, Pro Golfer.
2. Kaizena is a site that allows you to give feedback to your students. You highlight on their document and either type in comments or use voice comments. It is especially important to give students feedback when they are writing and this program will make it easier for teachers to give feedback in a variety of ways. One of the best things about this site is that you sign in automatically through your Google account. Also, say a student is having problems with run on sentences....you can attach a link to a review/mini lesson on run on sentences. I think this is a must for English teachers.
3. Kahoot! is a site that is a game-based classroom response system. You can make up questions, quizzes, and surveys. The best part is it doesn't matter what kind of device the student has and there is not log-in. The student will be given a pin number in order to join the game. I think students would absolutely love this! This could be used in any subject and grade as long as students had a device to play.
I love quote posters too! I think it would be fun to use something like that to make a set of unique classroom rules.
