Remember
Quizlet live brings a competitive dimension
Teachers create ‘sets’ of key terms by topic
When they select ‘Live’, 12 terms are chosen at random for students to study
Students sign up using a join code just like kahoot
Students are assigned teams at random (by clicking shuffle…)
Answers are shown to all team members as a group, but not every team member will have the correct answer
The objective is for each team to identify 12 correct answers in a row
During the ‘race’, progress is shown
If a team member answers incorrectly, they are shown the correct answer & start back at zero
Using repetition, students are engaging in purposeful practice
Our weaker students are able to access the revision as answers are shown & team mates are quick to help
At the end of each ‘round’, the teacher can use the Review to focus on misconceptions
BitPaper
An online collaborative whiteboard
Teachers can use in lessons, then download as a PDF
OR share with students in a lesson
OR allow absent students to log in & listen
OR create online revision sessions with audio & shared whiteboards
Here, I have pasted past paper questions onto the screen with students adding in answers
Improvements are then added by another student
Sharing with students is as simple as opening a ‘Paper’ & sharing the URL.
Papers can be saved, downloaded, and added to later.
If you wanted to save all whiteboards from a topic, this is a perfect solution.
What about revision?
Students can create their own whiteboards with mindmaps, notes, or questions
These can be shared with friends to allow them to revise together from home
Why? We know that collaboration improves motivation
Accessing online tools helps with time management
No meeting friends
No travel
Just switch on the computer & go
