Seterra - Socials Studies and Science
Students from Mrs. Olson's and Miss Moon's classes are using this website. It is a great tool for memorization, and has a timing option as students are working. We have noticed that many students are motivated to get a better percentage and a quicker time. It is a great program for reinforcement! |
Kahoot! Kahoot is a games-based learning platform used to create and play quizzes or learning games, and it is a class favourite! Kahoots can be created in minutes, and are free. Teachers can choose from pre-made quizzes or make their own. You can preview pre-made quizzes to see if the questions and topics are applicable to what you are teaching. This is also a fun break for students, as there are many random quizzes like movies, songs, and logos! It is an excellent tool for background knowledge and recall (show what you know!)
