On-Line Questioning Tool

Kahoot, is an amazing online questioning tool for teachers. However, there are other options and they have some advantages that you should consider.
First is https://www.mentimeter.com/ this is a tool that can be free or paid for. It also has more question types than Kahoot and more data collection capabilities.  It also allows for the creation of presentations and mixing of questions into it. 
Another options is ​https://www.quizalize.com. It works like Kahoot, but allows for collecting of results. It is set up for teachers to use in their classroom. You can also use it with Google Classroom.

Teacher Tools

This summer the Teacher Tools page was added to the District home page under the header "District Information". On this page are links to resources you may find useful, including various sites for Formative Assessments,  Media Creation, Class Management, Science, Math, Arts Integration, and Digital Citizenship. There are many more possibilities but this is a starting point with the potential to expand into a hub of digital resources for a range of grades, subjects, and content areas.

Thank you to Jessica Evans for building this page for us.
