Kickin' It with ClassKick

Classkick.com is a site that has been on my to-do list for quite some time.

It is a way to deliver asynchronous content to your students so they may guide themselves through something as simple as an exit ticket, to something as complicated as an entire slidedeck with embedded activities.

Students can write, draw, type, use manipulatives, add images and even.....
- Anotate a worksheet! 
- Record their thinking with an audio recorder!


The teacher dashboard shows you at a glance where each student is located in his/her work.

It even has a feature that allows the student to raise his/her hand letting you know he needs help!  The teacher can then go over and assist the student, or help him via a chat/feedback conversation that wouldn't draw attention to a student who is embarrassed to get help in front of his peers.

Despite all of these features I hesitated to introduce Classkick as it seemed as if it was a lot of work on the front end with lesson design. Until I found out that...

  You can upload multiple page PDFs!   
Finally, an answer for all of our TpT junkies :-)! 

As a sample, I have created a Classkick assignment that highlights many, but certainly not all of its features.

Join in as a student and see how you like it!

Teacher overview: 

- See where each student is working. 
- See results of auto-graded questions
- Easily grade finished slides. 
- See which students have their "hands raised"


You can even give stickers that award different point values and come with custom feedback!  


This is certainly an elementary example, but can be used for MS & HS just as well.   
I cannot wait to try it in Spanish class, especially with the easily embedded audio recordings for fluencies! 


Check out this video to see how I created the April Morning Work Classkick assignment!
