Hi all, we are halfway through the semester!
This week we are discussing academic software for students. One thing I was introduced to in high school was Kahoot!, the quizzing game technology made for classroom purposes. Students were to log on on their phones (integrating technology into the classroom), and answer multiple choice questions on their phones that appeared on the big screen in class. It was a competitive and fun academic software that I enjoyed using even at an older age in my academic career. I would love to use this in classrooms with older students because they must be using a handheld device for the game. It is entertaining and influences kids to learn and compete with one another on questions! It integrates technology into the classroom perfectly and serves the purpose of education perfectly. Also I would really like to implement Khan Academy into class because it is such a great practice site. It is nice because it is current with grade levels and materials for any subject.
I have enjoyed the communication process of talking to my classmates on Twitter. It has been useful to use the hashtag #FSU2040 to see what other people find to work for them in the class, or haven't worked for them. I personally have interacted with Katie and Courtney about class assignments, specifically Inspiration. I will definitely use Twitter as a PLN in the future to get advice from other educators and also new ideas for my students!

Madison, I used to loveee Kahoot in high school. My teachers always managed to make it fun by giving us rewards (food) or even extra credit. I surely remember the intensity between all my classmates to score in the leaderboard. I definitely think Kahoot is a great tool as well.
