Moodle Basics and Beyond

In science, students create projects on the chromebooks and share them via google docs. For example they created a storyboard about the cell theory. I created a google doc and included the students name. They were able to upload their image and link under their name to their storyboard from storyboardthat.com.  It made it quick and easy to see who was done and who was still working. I was also able to instantly look at each image to see who needed some additional assistance for the next class session. I enjoyed this format because it was less paperwork and all in one location. Eventually we will print out the images, but this way I have a hard copy as well. 

Xtra Math is a free website that teachers can set up for students to have a quick assessment on their math facts. This can be addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. I have my students do a session every day. It is timed, and only takes a couple of minutes. It generates a helpful report to show you exactly what the students are grasping. If they answer correctly, and in time, they get a smiley face, if it is correct but takes longer they get a check mark, if the time runs out it shows you a timer, and if they get it wrong it shows an X. 

It is a quick and easy way to have students practice their facts!
