Tech Tools for Interactive Remote Teaching Webinar
GoSoapBox is a web-based student response system. Its creator and CEO, John Styley, remembered that he shied away from asking questions when he was a college student. Feeling he had missed opportunities to express his lack of comprehension and that it had hindered his chances to excel as a student, Styley promoted GoSoapBox to provide a platform for both teachers and students to communicate.
Math and Science: Students can vote on questions, such as “which of these is the Pythagorean Theorem?” Students make predictions related to “confusion” or other statistics provided by GoSoapBox for their own or other classes or use resulting data to create graphs of classroom discussion over time.
English/Language Arts: The teacher can create a multi-choice questionnaire for a story taught in class. The teacher can create discussion forum about a current event. At the end of class, one or more students are asked to summarize any GoSoapBox activity that took place, and this is used as the starting point for the next class.
World Languages: Ice-breaker questions. Students can be more comfortable posting their responses anonymously without feeling judged on their grammatical mistakes.
Health: Students can use the anonymous question function to pose questions they may not want to ask publicly.
