Online Teaching Resources

Online Learning Resources- The following resources are what I have found to be most useful when conducting online instruction. Each website gives you a report of the student’s score and automatically grades the assignments for you. You must create an account for each. These activities are supplemental and are not written into the lesson plans.

Socrative.com– Socrative allow users to create quizzes, play a space race game or do quick exit quizzes/polls. You can create a free account and copy the quizzes that have already been made.

Quizizz.Com-Teachers can access premade quizzes or make their own using the question banks and their own questions.  You can customize how many times students can take the quiz, how long it lasts and what types of feedback they get. We have linked quizzes that align with each unit.

Edpuzzle.com-This website allows teachers to use videos and integrates questions within the videos that students must answer to move on.  The best part is that there are already tons of video done by other teachers with the question check points already integrated.
