Blooket is my student’s favorite thing that we do in my classroom. It is similar to Kahoot in the questioning aspect. You can make your own review questions or search through thousands of premade Blookets.

My students love the Gold Quest game. In this game, students answer questions to earn gold. They are also able to steal gold from their classmates. This is the part where students really get excited. The game is not about just getting the answers right, but who can answer the quickest and strategize to win.

I use this website to review quizzes and tests. There is also an option where you can assign Blookets for homework so your students can study from home or work virtually while still playing a game.

In the age of virtual learning, Google Slides is very helpful in making worksheets that you may already have virtual. To do this, you either scan or take a picture of the worksheet you wish to upload. You set the worksheet as the background as your presentation so that students can not move it around. You will then place text boxes in any areas you wish students to answer.

You can already fill in text boxes and mix them up to differentiate. Students will take the text boxes a drag them to the correct blanks. I use this method in my English class to help students fill out a plot diagram. You can even leave comments on students' work to receive feedback. I use this app almost every day in my classroom.

I use Google Documents to help in virtual learning. It allows students to complete work from any place at any time. I can assign these documents in Google Classroom, and students can answer questions, complete study guides, or do graphic organizers. I also use Google Docs to do all these things and print them out when I feel students need physical copies.

USAtestprep helps me make sure I am covering all the standards for ELA. You can do practice tests, assessments, and games. You can use premade questions or create your own questions. Once you have students complete an assignment, it breaks down the information into a chart where you can see how each student performed on the assignment. You can also see which questions were missed the most and even assign remedial questions to students.

I often use this for practice assessments and assessments. I assign a practice assessment with three chances. If students still are missing similar questions, I assign remediation to that student. Then they will take their final test on the same platform, so it is something they are used to looking at.

This can be used in the classroom the same as it can be used virtually.

Grammarly is a grammar checker that checks your writing for grammar mistakes. Not only does it tell you what is wrong, but it also tells you why it is wrong. I have utilized this app myself to help me better my grammar skills.

This tool is handy in an English classroom. I show my students every semester how to use Grammarly. I allow students to put any writings through the Grammarly tool. I believe Grammarly is like a calculator for English students. It can not do all the work, but it can help make writing easier. My students have the extension on their Google Chromes, so Grammarly checks any writing that they produce if they turn the extension on.
