Quizizz Chrome App
One of the newest formative assessment tools Quizizz, just got better (if you use Google Chrome). They have now created a Quizizz Chrome App for teachers and for students. This will now allow for users to get to the games quicker. If you have Chromebooks in your school, talk to your tech coordinator today about getting the App pushed out to your devices.
You can read more about the App and download it HERE.

Tech Tip - Front Row
Front Row
Front Row is an individualized math and ELA program that allows students to practice at their own pace. Their curriculum is completely Common Core aligned, and covers every standard in K-8 math.
Students start Front Row by taking a diagnostic test that places them based on their capability. Then, they answer practice questions that vary based on what the student knows. If a student gets stuck, they see remediation material and videos that help them understand the topic at hand. If they do well, they move on to harder material! The kids love using Front Row because it’s so engaging.
The Front Row dashboard is just amazing for teachers. It shows where each student is stuck, and whether they need help, and it also gives materials that can help them! What’s really amazing is the printables feature, which allows teachers to generate a personalized printable sheet for each student that gives practice where they need it.
Overall, Front Row is an amazing time saver, and students really love it. Sign up is super easy, just go to http://www.frontrowed.com and click on the sign up button. It’s free!

Tech Tip - Webcam QR Code Reader
QR Codes can be a quick way for a teacher to get students where they need to go on the web. QR codes can be links or documents you want your students to access. They work really well for classroom sets of mobile devices, like iPads, but have not been a great tool for classrooms with Chromebooks or laptops. Until now! Try this webcam QR code reader for your classroom!

Now any device with a webcam attached can scan QR codes. You can also generate the QR codes on the same website.

Tech Tip
Screencast from Chromebook
One downfall to using a Chromebook was that you could not do any screencasting on them. Websites like screencast-o-matic and screenr did not work on the Chromebooks. Then I came across a post on FreeTech4Teachers and Richard Byrne introduced me to Screencastify. Being able to screencast on the Chromebook now opens up a variety of activities you can do in your classroom.
You can now screen record straight from your Chromebook, allowing you to record directions or lessons. Students can record projects, processes, and if they are having issues with their device, they can record their screens to demonstrate their issue.

Make You Think
Karen came across this great article from eSchool News about using the iPad as a tool for the 4 C's, consumption, curation, creativity, and connection. It is a great reminder that our tools are not always about content specific applications, but rather should be used for a broader purpose. Once you realize the capabilities of the device, whether it be an iPad, Chromebook, Desktop, etc..., it can be seen as so much more than just a "drill and kill" device. The article provides great examples of how an iPad can be used as a device for the 4 C's. It's another reminder that our devices are merely just tools for education.
