Classkick

MPS does not have a subscription for this platform. All teachers and staff in the district can use the free version of Edpuzzle.

Classkick lets teachers create and share assignments, monitor students, and give feedback in real time as students work from iPads or computers. Teachers can create rosters via class code, manual entry, or Google Classroom. Upon signup, teachers have access to a free Pro Trial and have the option to learn the features through a guided tour of videos and sample assignments. From there, teachers can search and modify others' assignments or use the Add Assignment option to create their own lesson from scratch or via PDF import. Each assignment consists of a series of individual slides, which appear on the dashboard. Teachers can add images from the device's camera roll, key in text, add files, draw, paste in a web link, or record audio on each slide.

Students are able to access assignments as soon as teachers share them, and teachers can see their students work as they add images and text, draw, add links, or record audio or video responses. Students needing assistance can use the Please Help and Please Check features to get assistance. Teachers can write or type directly on the slide or create customized feedback by awarding points, providing additional content, or adding stickers to help guide students quickly without distracting others. Alternatively, students can offer each other feedback if teachers enable the Allow Peer Helpers feature on their own dashboard
