Wordle: This is one way to use Wordle that I just love. Rodrigo tells his students: start typing everything you think of when I say Mexico (5 minutes)...email to me... Then, he put into wordle and showed it to the kids. At the end of a unit, re-do and compare.
Tagxedo: like a wordle, but it puts it in forms (letters, shapes, etc)
Lipdub contest: Rodrigo takes those awful days where there's too much going on to actually teach and gives the kids a project. Every class creates a video song and lipdubs...students then vote on the winner. If you want to see what they ended up looking like, you can go to Youtube and watch them. He gave each class 4 days to make these films.
polleverywhere.com: a way to get quick responses by having kids text their answers.
Kahoot: I think everyone has used kahoot, but Rodrigo had a great idea. Make them use their own name and “theme” like your favorite color in TL (BessBleu)
Find odd true stories and then use those as stories… Then kids can watch the videos or answer Kahoot quizzes on the stories. For example, the boy who doesn’t want to eat octopus.
Have kids make PowToons (a quick online way to make animated videos) as a re-tell.
Then, we ran out of time, so these I don't know much about:
Scribblitt: Create stories, illustrate and share them. Can print off hard cover book for $20.
Apps for phones: Charades kids, PurposeGames, Lens2, Kaizena
