Geddit - Chat with Deb

By Anonymous -

Geddit is a great tool for the 1:1 or BYOD classroom.  This site makes polling your students extremely easy.  Watch this episode of Chat with Deb to see my own two sons, Ryan and Robert, use Geddit on an iPad and cell phone.

This is a great way to encourage all students to participate in class discussion and to monitor their learning in an interactive manner! When you used this in the classroom did you create all the questions ahead of time? I am thinking of using this do monitor comprehension during the theme reader stories in Lead 21. What do you think?

Jaqueline,
I just used this last week in my math class to monitor students' understanding during the lesson. It worked really well! This week I created questions ahead of time for another math lesson.

Poetry Month is Right Around the Corner Are you getting ready for Poetry Month in April? If so, I have some resources to share with you for creating concrete poems. Concrete poems are words written in a shape to convey a poem. They look like this: Recently I went on a mission to search for a site to use with a fellow colleague and her students. They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape.
