Diffit

Recently I came across a really useful resource I wanted to share with you called Diffit. Diffit can create resources for you instantly and can help you create materials for your classroom with ease! To help understand how to use it, I created a little infographic which I will share below. If you are more of a "show me what it does" kind of person, I can help you with that too!

So, for example, I want to show a video on my favorite soft drink of all time, Diet Coke (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJpiMkv4v3k), but I need something to go along with it. Difft can create summaries, multiple-choice questions, short answer questions, and even open-ended prompts! Check out this example: 
  • Diffit Resources based on the video The Cult of Diet Coke
Hopefully, you can find this resource helpful in your daily education journey :-)

When you are teaching face-to-face, over distance, or virtual, you only have a short amount of time to get your students interest. In this kind of environment using what is known as 'hooks' plays an important role in assisting students learning. In the video below we will explore some easy to access, share, and organize video hooks. Watch the video below or browse some of the listed  resources to capture your learners interest and get them hooked!

Knowledgehook

Recently I came across this pretty neat math resource called Knowledgehook. The best way I can describe it is, is if Kahoot and Freckle Math (previously known as Front Row) had a software baby, this would be it. Knowledgehook allows teachers to push 'Missions' to students that they must complete. The questions look very similar to state standardized tests and provides them in a non-overwhelming amount. It also features a 'Gameshow' ability. Gameshow is a Kahoot styled activity that can be not only done in a competitive mode, but also in a collaborative mode. The collaborative mode promotes students taking their time to solving the problem and also gives them the ability to submit proof of how they solved the problem.

Knowledgehook provides content for grades 3-12, but younger or more advanced classes could take advantage of the 'Custom Content' feature to make it fit their needs. If you want to see Knowledgehook in action, please watch the tutorial below to see a overview of it's features.

Elementary GLOBE

I am always a sucker for free curriculum resources. In fact, anytime I here free my ears are perked. Often though the free part comes with a catch. This is not true for Elementary GLOBE. Elementary GLOBE is a resource sponsored by NASA and the National Science Foundation and then further supported by NOAA and the US State Department.

Elementary GLOBE provides units on:
  • Climate
  • Earth Systems
  • Clouds
  • Soils
  • Seasons
  • Water
  • Aerosols

Each unit provides a book, teacher guide, and student activities. The activities themselves are often priceless resources! If you want to learn more about this resource and see a brief demo of what Elementary GLOBE has to offer, watch my YouTube demo below.
