Google classroom:
Google classroom is a very productive and easy platform that’s also referred to as a learning management system. A learning management system is defined as a multifaceted platform designed to streamline teaching, learning, assessments, and student data reporting. I really love using Google classroom because it allows teachers to post assignments, tests, classwork, and any other activities related to school. After the pandemic, it really allowed for the opportunity for school systems to implement these learning management systems. Google classroom has really excelled and provides the opportunities for students to learn. I feel like this platform can be implemented into K-12, but would take a lot of teaching for kindergarteners to implement into their daily schedule. It is free which is also another great aspect of this platform. This platform is compatible for any device which is also another great aspect of this platform.

Canva:
Canva is a graphic design tool that allows students to create presentations, infographics, posters, videos, and any other designs you would like your students to complete. The great thing is that it is free and within the free subscription it allows you to create any design you would like and allows the completion of an assignment you are requiring. However, Canva Pro costs $15 a month, and Canva Teams costs $10 a month. Students should be 13 years of age or older to use this app. If students are younger than consent from their parents can allow you to implement this app into your classroom. This is available as a web browser which can be accessed on any device and also has mobile apps for iOS and Android that you can download from the app store.

Kahoot:
Kahoot is an excellent educational tool that allows students to see concepts visually. As a teacher you can host live games, polls, surveys, quizzes, and much more are available. I really love to implement Kahoot a day before the test because it allows for the students to complete a review before the test. Just like I have included in the apps above this app is also free, but has paid subscriptions. As a teacher, it can cost $3.99, $7.99, or $11.99. With the maxim subscription you can use an AI tool to help create content for you, which can save you a lot of time. The age range for this app is unlimited and any age can use this app. You can use Kahoot on the computer, cell phone, or tablet to play games and review lessons.
I feel like Google classroom is the best app you can implement into your classroom because it is a learning management system. It allows the opportunity for teachers to communicate with their students and you can create any assignment and give them to the students. It allows for teachers to stay organized from grading to documentation for student work. This is why I implement Google classroom daily and will never use another system.
I enjoy Kahoot as well. I have not tried it before with my Kindergarten class, but I am hoping that after Christmas, we can incorporate them into our class. We have 1:1 iPads, and the students love games and seesaw activities, so Kahoot would encourage and enforce skills in a fun and exciting way. I also love how you can use Kahoot to meet various standards.
ReplyDeleteI use Kahoot frequently in my secondary classroom. It is a fun game like review option that my student's love. I like the fact that students are still learning while the atmosphere of the classroom feels like play. I have also used Google classroom in the past, but my district is Microsoft. I feel any google of microsoft platforms are high quality apps that can enhance any learning environment due to its wide variety of services.
