GAME-BASED LEARNING TOOLS
The following resources are some of the most popular gaming tools used in classrooms across the country. These resources are both engaging for kids and useful quiz/learning tools for educators.
Kahoot!
Kahoot allows users to create multiple-choice games, polls, and quizzes quickly for an exciting gaming classroom experience. Teachers can host live review games during class time, or display their “kahoots” on a shared screen to remote students participating from home. Students can play in classic mode, or team mode with shared devices; they can even create their own quizzes to quiz friends/classmates. Kahoot! requires registration with a login, and there’s a basic, free version and a premium version.
KAHOOT!
Gimkit
Gimkit’s Kahoot!-style gameplay is supercharged by delivering virtual dollars to players for correct answers. As an added bonus, players can get more money per correct answer as they level up. Gimkit “streak bonuses” deliver even more money for sequences of correct answers meaning student players are rewarded for their overall efforts. Gimkit’s increasing virtual rewards, based on question level and willingness to take risks, encourages strategic play among students and teams. Other features include “insurance,” “multiplier,” and “money per question.”4 It’s easy to get started with Gimkit. Just create a new “kit,” add an appropriate title, add your choice of cover image, create your questions, and go live. Paid versions of Gimkit allow you to edit your questions after your quiz has been created. Once your Gimkit review game is underway, it’s up to students to build value for their teams.
GIMKIT
Blooket
Like Gimkit, Blooket is becoming an increasingly popular gaming quiz platform. While Kahoot only has the traditional multiple-choice game, Blooket offers several variations of gaming challenges from which creators can choose. To create a Blooket quiz of your own, click the link below.
BLOOKET
Quizalize
This platform offers whole class quiz games, smart quizzes with built in personalisation, and instant mastery data that helps address learning loss in every student.
QUIZALIZE
Quizziz
Similar to Kahoot, Quizziz offers a traditional digital multiple choice review; however, quiz creators can customize the games with popular memes to encourage or entertain users after each question.
QUIZZIZ
Flippity
Flippity turns any spreadsheet or chart into a match game. Similar to Quizlet, this tool is great for vocabulary review.
FLIPPITY
FreeRice.com
Freerice.com is a free quiz platform that also feeds the hungry! Simply create a free account, choose a category (from movies to vocabulary reviews), and answer questions. Each question answered correctly earns grains of rice for the hungry; 10 questions = a bowl of rice. *Users can answer questions without creating an account, but your score will be lost after each use. 
FREERICE.COM
Prodigy
Prodigy is a virtual adventure game that leaves kids begging to practice math skills. With each correct answer, students can customize their character, explore new lands, and meet learning goals with each increasing skill and/or difficulty level. Basic accounts are free, but to unlock special features and upgrades, the family plan is approximately $6/month. 
PRODIGY
DreamScape
Calling all Clash of Clans lovers! DreamScape is just like Prodigy and Clash of Clans; however, it is a game to help improve reading and writing skills. Users can create/customize characters and build cities, all while increasing RELA knowledge.

DIGITAL LEARNING PLATFORMS
In this section, participants will learn about various virtual learning systems being utilized in classrooms throughout the nation.
Google Classroom
Google Classroom is a virtual classroom learning platform utilized around the world, gaining more popularity during Covid. The benefits are that it is easy for students and teachers to post & view assignments with time stamps so that students and educators know when assignments are turned in or if they're missing. Students can also view upcoming assignments with all the resources attached (which saves a lot of paper), due dates, and posted grades. This quick video from Common Sense Media provides parents/guardians with basic tips for using Google Classroom.
GOOGLE CLASSROOM
Canvas
Similar to Google Classroom, Canvas is a learning management system most popular within the secondary education setting. YouTube provides a brief overview of the program.
Khan Academy
This #1 trusted math, reading, and science resource is used by teachers all over the country. Each lesson contains a tutorial review, demonstration, and practice application so that students can review concepts at home. No ads or subscriptions. Available on Apple, Google, and Amazon.
KHAN ACADEMY
IXL
IXL is a trusted math and reading assessment tool used in schools across the country. Each lesson is taught, reviewed, and followed with a quiz with data and progress that can be tracked for each child/user. It's an excellent tool for quizzes, and each lesson/quiz can be sampled for free. To track data and progress, however, a subscription is approximately $129/yearly. If a student has a free account through the school system, the account can be accessed for free from home or any device.
IXL.COM
MobyMax
MobyMax provides differentiated instruction, independent practice, engaging lessons, varied assessment options, and diagnostic reports on various subjects to show a child's level and/or growth. Lessons are based on state standards and are free with a school/teacher account, but the home version is approximately $8/month.
MOBYMAX
Mastery Connect
MasteryConnect provides tools for teachers to track mastery of standards in real time, and it also serves as a repository for teacher-created formative assessments. The "mastery" part of the website helps teachers plan assessments linked to standards and analyze data collected from the assessments. 
TCAP Live Binder
Each spring, students in grades 2-10 take TCAP (Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program) or EOC (End-of-Course) exams. Certain grades/exams determine retention and/or promotion eligibility. To find out more, or to access practice exams, visit the link provided.

Is Using AI Assistance Plagiarizing?
Students are becoming increasingly aware of Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistance platforms, which will help students with their writing. While it can be a safe and helpful tool if used sparingly, educators (like parents) know their students' language, tone, and writing and will likely become suspicious of questionable 'automated' responses. Parents of middle school and high school students, talk to your children about plagiarism and academic honesty.
