Well Said...
Resource Roundup Technology, Research & Learning Resources
Wizer & Google Classroom Wizer is a neat tool for creating a variety of interactive assignments including writing assignments, multiple choice quizzes, and labeling assignments. You can distribute your Wizer activities to your students through Google Classroom or through the use of a link and pin system. In the YouTube video Richard Byrne provides a demonstration of how to create an assignment in Wizer, how to distribute it, and how to view your student's’ responses to an assignment.
Search by Reading Level Choosito is a search engine that offers a reading level index for its search results. When you search on Choosito you can select to refine results to reading levels marked as Early Readers, Emerging Readers, Fluent Readers, or Advanced Readers. In addition to reading level refinement Choosito offers an option to sort results by subject area. In the video embedded below I demonstrate how to use Choosito.
ED Puzzle & Google Classroom Integration EDpuzzle is a great tool for creating flipped video lessons. It is a neat tool that allows you to add your voice and text questions to educational videos. On EDpuzzle you can search for educational videos and or upload your own videos to use as the basis of your lesson. EDpuzzle has an online classroom component that you can use to assign videos to students and track their progress through your video lessons. Earlier this month EDpuzzle added a Google Classroom integration that makes it easy to create lessons and share them with your students through Google Classroom. In the YouTube video Richard Byrne demonstrates how to create lessons on EDpuzzle and how to distribute them through Google Classroom.
