16 – WhatsDue: Keep Track of Assignment Due Dates

EdTech You Should Know – Episode 15 – WhatsDue App
Host: Jeff Herb (@InstTechTalk)
Show Notes:
WhatsDue is a free app that allows teachers to create courses and then post assignments/due dates so that their students can keep track those due dates as they approach.
Here’s how you can make the most of the app (as listed in the tutorial on the site):
- Add the courses you teach
- Add as many upcoming assignments as you can. The more you add, the more your students and/or parents will know in advance.
- Invite students and/or parents to use WhatsDue. Just hit the “Invite” button and enter the email addresses of everyone you think should know what assignments are coming up. The email will contain the course code that the students and/or parents will need in order to join the class.
Also, every time you add, update, or delete an assignment, everyone who joined your class will get a push notification. Keep this in mind before you make changes.
The service was extremely easy to setup – it took me about 3 minutes, most of which was reading time so I knew the functionality of the site. Once you're setup, students can download the app to access the due dates and assignment information.
Support seems to be readily available – Aaron, the creator I presume, has linked multiple ways to contact him should you need it.
I've heard from many that they are going to do district-wide implementations of this app in the coming year. This is definitely worth checking out.

EdTech You Should Know 14 – Kahoot: An Interactive Assessment Tool
[etysk]

Guest: Rachelle Wooten – Twitter – Website
Show Notes
Today we are talking all about Kahoot – a web-based assessment tool that is essentially setup like a game show. Teachers create questions, the questions are displayed, and students individually respond with what they think is the correct answer. Scores are kept automatically and are reported out in between each question. The result is a formative assessment that is actually really engaging!
The first step is for teachers to create the Kahoot, which is made very simple through their drag & drop creator tool. This can be done on any device. Quizzes can have embedded images and video, which is great too.
Once your Kahoot is complete, project the quiz in the front of the room and have all your students join using their device (no account necessary, just the quiz ID). It will ask for their name, this is what will show as they accumulate points.
Ultimately students will then answer questions in real time, with their results showing on their individual screen and the leaderboard displays at the front of the room. The game pauses in between each question to allow for discussion on any topics that may seem to need clarification.

EdTech You Should Know – Episode 9 – Curating Student and Audience Questions using Social QA
Thanks for tuning in for this episode about a backchanneling tool that is free, easy to use, and focused on developing a list of questions that your audience (students, staff) have regarding your topic of discussion and of those questions, which ones are most important to the group as a whole.
The tool is called Social Q&A and can be found at socialqa.com.
The functionality is simple. Your audience asks questions from their device (any web-enabled device will work), everyone votes on the questions they want answered, the most popular questions rise to the top, and thus Q&A time is streamlined since questions have already been curated.
Their site gives a couple options for implementation:
Before the fact: You can collect questions prior to the event and make your presentation/lesson focus on particular topics of importance.
During: Students/staff ask questions on the site during the lesson/meeting and you’ll have a defined list of questions to answer at the end of the session.
After: Allow the conversation to continue after your lesson or meeting – especially if all questions were unable to be answered in the time allowed. Students can ask questions as they work on homework and they can be immediately addressed the next day.
Social QA is a free tool and users can get started easily by going to socialqa.com. Links and a transcript of this episode will be available at etysk.com/9. Similarly, I’d love to hear how you use this tool – so please comment on the show’s page with your implementation – again that is etysk.com/9.
