Thing 29: Student Response Tools

I looked at a number of things under this topic.  I have been using Google Classroom this year in the library and the students have responded very well to it.  When they turn in their work they love to give a comment or ask me a question.    I have also set up a Google Classroom and forgot to turn on the student to student comments - that has turned out to be just a little bit of a distraction :)

Being able to comment back to them on their Google Doc or assignment has been very useful too.  I am currently working with 5th grades and doing book reviews.

I left a comment on Padlet.  I liked the format.
I am integrating Google Apps more and more into my program and I would like to explore further next year using Google Forms. 
I loved the Answercloud.  I have been using word clouds with my younger grades.  The students really respond well to them.  It is a perfect activity for a wrap up to reading a book.  This answercloud will be a great enhancement to that because they can all see each other's responses. 

Looked at the Quizlet program on the suggestion of another Cool Tool blog post from a co-worker.  I like what I see so far in it.  Made a few flash cards for vocab words in a unit about plagiarism.   I will try and use it with my intermediate students.

There are quite a few options under this topic to use for just about any class situation.  This will be great to choose from in the future.
