Do you chirp? If you don’t you need to go download this app asap!
So, in our school we are lucky enough to have iPad carts. I love using technology, even now that I’m a reading specialist. This week my third graders were reading Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. My poor kids have been tested to death, and the last thing I want to do is test them more on the books they are reading. But, I do need to know if they remember what they read, understand the vocabulary and can infer. So I ran to Kahoot to see if anyone had a fun quiz for us to use. If you don’t know what Kahoot is, you can check it out here. It’s a great way to assess student knowledge while they think they are playing a game. The only problem was, Kahoot’s web address wasn’t bookmarked on our iPads, so I would have to enter the address on 25 iPads, or have 3rd graders do it, and it might take the whole class time.
I wanted to quickly send out the link to my students in our multi-device room. So I used Chirp! It’s amazing. I merely took one iPad, opened the app, added the link and sent out a “Chirp”. The kids iPads, hear the chirp and they immediately received the link. They then clicked and were taken to kahoot.it, where they were ready to play. Less than three minutes!
