Week 7-8 Assignment
10/18/2020
Christopher Pollitt, Hailey Hawks, Megan Cowan
TEDtalk
★ TEDtalk Site
Ted Talks cover a variety of relevant
topics that covers content areas
including math, science, social
studies, history, and even
marketing. The talks include
subjects that include starting a
successful business, nonverbal
communication and social media
marketing, along with many other
topics. TED is a nonprofit devoted
to communicating ideas, usually in
the format of short inspirational
talks. Best suitable for kids 13+.
We chose this app because the TED
content is easily adapted for
students of diverse learning levels.
Students have been inspired to
expand their knowledge of various
topics through the talks. They are
usually pretty short, averaging
between 10-20 minutes, and provide
outside knowledge of different
topics that can be super valuable
for students.
PBS Kids
★ PBS Kids Site
With intuitive games and learning
tools, PBS targets skills in the four
main areas of child development:
Physical, communication, cognitive,
and social and emotional
development. PBS kids also
reinforces skills students are
working on in Arkansas (and other
states) schools. Targeted for
Elementary students in Literacy,
Math, Science, STEAM, & Phonics.
We picked this app because of the
number of apps, games, and
learning tools available to the
students and users. We also picked
it based on the entertainment
factor. Students and users are
learning while having fun which is
crucial to developing children.
Epic
★ Epic Site
Epic specifically targets literacy and
language skills by providing books
and reading tools to children and
students ages two to twelve years
old. Epic also follows state
standards and common core
standards. This targets students
and children ages 2 to 12.
We picked Epic because of the
reading tools available to students
and users. Epic has hundreds and
hundreds of books and audiobooks
for students to read and have read.
This gives students the potential to
increase reading fluency on their
own.
IXL
★ IXL Site
IXL provides learning tools in Math,
Language Arts, Science, Social
Studies, and Spanish. It has games
and learning tools that reinforce
skills taught that coincide with state
standards and common core. IXL
keeps track of time spent as well as
skills and goals met. IXL targets
students from kindergarten through
twelfth grade.
We picked IXL based on the fact
that this app follows so closely with
state standards and common core.
It can be used to supplement
students in the forms of games
versus traditional homework. It’s a
really refreshing take on the core
subjects.
ClassDojo
★ ClassDojo Site
Class Dojo provides incentive for
student behavior by rewarding
students with real time feedback. It
also provides a visual for the
student to evaluate their own
behavior. Awards can be given when
a certain point levels have been
achieved; parents can also connect
with the teacher through this app.
This app is generally used for
younger students, about 5-12 years
old.
We picked Class Dojo because it
connects primary school teachers,
students and families through
communication features such as
video feed, photos from the school
day and messaging that can be
written in over 35 languages. This is
also a really fun way to have a good
classroom management plan!
Explain Everything
★ Explain Everything Site
This is a super useful app for
teachers to use because it is an
interactive whiteboard. Especially
during this time of online school,
having this app can provide some
sense of normalcy for both students
and teachers. This app can be used
to record videos, invite students to
view and/or collaborate, and also
send video messages. This app can
be used for students aged 5+.
We chose this app because it allows
teachers and students the
opportunity to share thoughts and
ideas realtime. The app can also be
used for formative assessment.
Students have the chance to share
their own tutorials, stories and
presentations. Especially during
these times, it’s a really unique and
fun app to use to make the online
learning experience that much
more fun.
Duolingo
★ Duolingo Site
Duolingo is an app that anyone can
use to learn a language. It’s very
easy to maneuver, and it walks you
through step by step what you need
to do. It also gives you autonomy of
when and where you learn- which
can be a great tool for teachers.
This app can be given as homework
assignments, or even supplemental
lessons while we are doing online
work. This is used best for students
aged 10+.
We picked Duolingo because it’s
easily accessible, free, and can be
used outside of class. This app
could be used as homework
assignments, and just overall
check-ins with the students to see
how they are doing in the class.d
during and outside of school. It’s
just an overall cool app to have,
and will help students further
improve their language skills.
Hologo
★ Hologo Site
This app allows students to view
their lesson/topic first hand using
3D visuals and augmented reality
on students’ smartphones. Mainly
used for STEM topics, this app
really enhances student learning,
and takes it one step further for the
students to have a better
understanding of what they are
learning about. This is for students
aged 10+.
We chose this app because of the
new age graphics and visuals that it
offers. While some of the lessons
cost some money (less than $10),
they are completely worth it in our
opinion because it brings learning
to life. This app will excite even the
most anti-STEM student to the
point of them wanting to do more
and more and more.
Kahoot!
★ Kahoot Website
Kahoot is an app used for creating
fun, student friendly quizzes that
feel more like games. It’s a
web-based app that is used both on
the computer and on a
smartphone, where students are
timed and click on the answer they
think is right. It keeps up with
points, the leaderboard, and it has
a lot of cool features. Plus, it’s free!
We chose Kahoot! because it’s very
user-friendly and easy to work with.
It can be used in the classroom as a
way to study for an upcoming
assessment, or even used as an
informal assessment. It also gives
students a break from heavy
lecture, and it can keep them
engaged while also allowing the
teacher to see where they are at
with the material.
Khan Academy
★ Khan Academy Site
Khan Academy is something that
anyone can use for help in any
subject area in school. It provides
videos, notes, and other really
helpful things for students to use
when they’re in need of extra time
on a subject. It’s very user friendly,
and it can be used for pretty much
anyone aged 10+.
We chose Khan Academy because it
is something that we feel should be
in every students’ toolbelt. It can be
used both in and out of the
classroom. There are many subjects
and grade levels that Khan
Academy offers, which allows for a
super versatile app for students
and teachers alike. It’s super user
friendly, and is easy to access.

Mainly used for STEM topics, this app really enhances student learning, and takes it one step further for the students to have a better understanding of what they are learning about. This is for students aged 10+. We chose this app because of the new age graphics and visuals that it offers. While some of the lessons cost some money (less than $10), they are completely worth it in our opinion because it brings learning to life. This app will excite even the most anti-STEM student to the point of them wanting to do more and more and more.
  • 10. Kahoot! ★ Kahoot Website Kahoot is an app used for creating fun, student friendly quizzes that feel more like games. It’s a web-based app that is used both on the computer and on a smartphone, where students are timed and click on the answer they think is right. It keeps up with points, the leaderboard, and it has a lot of cool features. Plus, it’s free! We chose Kahoot! because it’s very user-friendly and easy to work with. It can be used in the classroom as a way to study for an upcoming assessment, or even used as an informal assessment. It also gives students a break from heavy lecture, and it can keep them engaged while also allowing the teacher to see where they are at with the material.
  • 11. Khan Academy ★ Khan Academy Site Khan Academy is something that anyone can use for help in any subject area in school. It provides videos, notes, and other really helpful things for students to use when they’re in need of extra time on a subject. It’s very user friendly, and it can be used for pretty much anyone aged 10+. We chose Khan Academy because it is something that we feel should be in every students’ toolbelt. It can be used both in and out of the classroom. There are many subjects and grade levels that Khan Academy offers, which allows for a super versatile app for students and teachers alike. It’s super user friendly, and is easy to access.
