Quizizz





Quizizz
I seen Quizizz used by classroom teachers but not by school librarians and I was interested in this app. This app is free and can be used with any Android or iOS device. This app creates quizzes made by teachers or the students can make quizzes themselves. These quizzes can be shared with the class and scores can be shared as well if the teacher wants it to be shown. There are timers, leaderboards, an application called "teleport" which allows you to take any quiz question and place it into your own. In a school I can use this to make quizzes for my students in a fun and creative way that they will enjoy. 

Using this app I was surprised how easy and quick it was to make a quiz on it. I can also customize the feedback on each answer that is wrong and explain to the student why their answer was wrong. I can even see a report on who got which question wrong the most and least. I tested it out with a couple of my family members and the report seemed to generate find and I got to analyze the results in an easy and simple manner. Quizizz also can be integrated with Google Classroom which I haven't tried yet since I'm not familiar with Google Classroom but that can also allow me to connect with peers and students in real time. 

Overall I was impressed by Quizizz and I hope more educators are using it in the future.

Kodable - Coding for Kids

Image
The app I choose to test this week is Kodable. This is a coding app that teaches elementary school students on how to code. What's interesting about this app is that it has different levels from kindergarten to fifth grade and coding can be super easy or more difficult at whatever level you have it on. Also if you buy the school package you can get standard aligned lesson plans. There is also progress tracking in the app that tells you how much the student has progressed from first starting coding and practicing with activities over time. What I love about this app is that it makes computer programming fun and can engage students easily with its fun games and colors. I know a little about coding and this app was easy for me to navigate. This app was made for educators because they base their pricing around class sizes and can even import lists directly from Google classroom. I love apps that are made for educators because you can really tell the difference between this app and

Storytime By Kindoma

Storytime by Kindoma The name of the app is Storytime by a company called Kindoma. It allows long distance parents or relatives of a child read them a story over the app. The story appears on the screen along with the video of each of the people using the app. The child can point to something and the other person can see where the child is pointing and they can highlight words as they go along. This can make interacting with books much more fun for the child and provide the long distance relatives a chance to connect with the child.  The price of the app is free and it gives you ten free books to read. If a parent want more books they have to buy each book and the prices vary. For an unlimited access to the catalog of books in the catalog, s ubscription is available for 1 month at $6.99 or for 6 months at $29.99 ($5 per month). A child can use this app by listening to the adult read or doing the reading by his or her self. It can be a fun interactive experience for all the

Swift Playground

Image
The app I am reviewing is called Swift Playground which is an iOS product from Apple. It's an app that believes anyone can code and its aimed at elementary school students. The app teaches young students to learn the Swift program and how to learn and write code. Lately STEM has been a huge push in school districts and this app can make a great edition to a school library Makerspace. I believe this app should be connected to a STEM unit or to a Makerspace or else it wouldn't make much sense in the context of the school library. What I love about this app is that it doesn't require any background knowledge of coding so this a great app for students to start out with. I recommend third to fourth graders to use this app. The student can code creatures called "bytes" and design their own landscape almost like they are designing a video game. This can get students interested in coding and designing very early in life and its gender neutral so girls and boys c
