This week I have been in the process of building a professional learning community through the use of both Twitter and Diigo. I have used Twitter as a way to get my news and as a way to connect to parents and teachers, but I never really thought of it as a way to get professional development. When you think about it, it really is perfect because you shouldn't have to wait for a PD Day to learn something new and if you have a minute and want to get better, you could read some tweets. As you learn about new tools and sites to use to teach students, you can log and categorize them with Diigo, a tool that allows you to bookmark with the best of them.
In the process of finding a few people to follow and resources to add to my Diigo page, I stumbled across Quizalize, which I am really excited to try. From what I have seen, it communicates with my Google Classroom account and students take a quiz with lots of different and interesting style of questioning techniques. Also, the students can play against each other in groups. No student data is shared, only team data. You can get an idea of how quizalize works here:
I plan to use this as review for my upcoming unit and will let you know how it works, especially with Google Classroom!
