Taking Charge
I really wanted to use the app Kahoots to create a fun, engaging practice quiz of the vocabulary words from our Earth and Space science unit that we are quizzing our fifth graders on next week. For a long time our district stopped allowing teachers to use Kahoots. But, recently it was approved and I was beyond thrilled. The problem is that it’s changed and I have to reacquaint myself with the site. I expected to spend a part of my Sunday figuring out the site and creating the quiz. Jack, who sits near the front of the classroom, is a technical whiz. He loves to help me figure out the ins and outs of the Promethean board I am fortunate to have in my classroom. Today, I got smart. I asked Jack if he wanted to create the Kahoots quiz for the class. Oh boy, was he excited. As he prepared the questions sitting proudly on my for- teacher- only ball chair, using my desk computer, I could see how excited he was. I inquired, “Jack, would it be okay with you if I share your quiz with the other fifth grade classes?” “Of course!” he replied with a grin. I hadn’t planned on reviewing for the quiz today, but I couldn’t resist as Jack was coming out of his skin. The day ended in whoops and screams as students played Jack’s Khoot science vocabulary review. Somehow I have a strong feeling that Jack will ace the quiz next week!
