Applied Digital Skills

Google and Donorschoose have partnered up to offer free training and a gift card. I’ve used the Applied Digital Curriculum several times in the last few years but they have added some new coding curriculum.

If you have the time, I’d suggest signing up for one of the trainings. My favorite part of the training was learning how to create a hidden picture and color by number activity. The student version of this included short videos explaining how to create their own. I am trying the activity with my students this week.

After completing the training, you get a $100 Donors Choose gift card while supplies last. Check back tomorrow for some activities with hidden pictures and color by number.

Blooket Game

A week ago my students kept asking to play Blooket so I looked into it. Blooket is much like Kahoot and Gimkit but they earn money. Blooket has several different game modes and the students LOVE IT. Once a student has been eliminated they will keep playing to earn more gold which they can use to buy rare items. Each week Blooket has a theme and those rare items can be bought for the week and then they are gone; the items include accessories or special characters they can play as. My students will play for hours if we let them. When we finish a game they are ready for another round. Blooket has a FREE version which has been enough for my class but you can also upgrade to a paid version. They have games that are already made or you can create a new game. My students love the battle royale mode and the gold quest the best. If you haven't given it a try I would highly suggest it.

Gimkit Tag Domination

Gimkit came out with a new mode called Tag: Domination. This is currently one of my students favorite modes(fishtopia is the other). This game is similar to physical tag. Students are split into 2 teams. To earn energy to run and get upgrades, students must correctly answer questions. The time to tag and run away alternate and students can see which one they are in on the top left of the screen. At the end, the team with the most tag win.
