Technology resource
I tried student.infuselearning.com a few times in my classroom over the last few weeks. I love how easy it is to use if you have ipods or ipads in your classroom. It was an engaging way to practice some of our math problems instead of using our whiteboards again. The students could see each other's answers as they came up and they loved to see their own. First go to teacher.infuselearning.com and sign up (it's free) then the students log in on their ipod. You could either prep questions ahead of time or make them up on the spot like I did. The kids liked it and the more we use it, the more content we can cover (of course the first time we used it I need to talk about rules and how to use it).

Hey Court!
ReplyDeleteI spent some time on infuselearning.com yesterday and discovered the many uses for it too! I love the infuse draw feature because it's not anything elaborate that you have to think up ahead of time but can be more of an on-the-spot when you need to check-in. I also like that you can upload pictures as part of your quiz and offer various question types. Another resource similar to this is Socrative. It's app based and is a great resource for formative assessments. However, there isn't an option for pictures and you have to create the quiz ahead of time. While both have many pro's to them, I'm leaning more towards Infuse Learning the more I use it! I'm wondering if we could get our math classes together for a small chunk of time and have them complete a math quiz on the iPads together??
I would love to get our classes together. I know my students would love that. What kind of quiz were you thinking?
