Story Speaker
Story Speaker
There are many ways for students to create "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories including Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Forms, and more. One really creative option is to use a Google Docs add-on called "Story Speaker".
Story Speaker gives you a template in Google Docs so you can fill in your own story, choices, and branching options. You can keep it simple, or use the advanced syntax for more fun. The final story can be played inside of the Google Doc, on a Google Home, or with the Google Assistant app. When played, the story will be read aloud, and the user can speak their responses to make choices.
This can be an awesome tool for students to practice creative writing, plan out a branching story or review quiz, and learn a bit about syntax which can be a nice lead into coding.
Record a quick set of instructions with Record to Slides. Videos will appear right on the slide you are speaking about. What a great way to personalize the slide. What’s more, all videos are auto-stored in the “RecordToSlides” folder at the top level of your Google Drive.
Use your phone as a clicker - complete with a timer, video player, and notes! Get out from behind that desk!
Highlight a body of text & receive a score on how readable that text is based on the flesch-kincaid readability index.
Readability Score is a tool designed to give you an idea of what type of reading level is needed to comprehend your text. The score is calculated based off of the flesch-kincaid index, and provides a grade level, as well as a general "easy medium hard" rating for the text you run it on.
When presenting, it is pretty easy for YOU to know where your cursor is...but can your STUDENTS see it? The Custom Cursor for Chrome Add-On lets you toggle on a larger, more colorful cursor whenever you need to do so, enabling all of your students to see exactly where you are! You can choose color, shape, size, and quickly toggle the custom cursor on & off when you are not presenting.
You can link your Bitmoji to your email! But wait...there is more! By right clicking on the image you can save the image as a .PNG to use as a sticker other places!
Emojis anyone? Heck yeah.
