I wanted to offer two ideas that tie in to your bell ringer tips in Episode 43. Now that my school is 1:1, I have my students do warm-ups in an interactive journal using Google Slides. It used to take me forever to grade their paper journals and I always dreaded it...until this year. I now collect the online "journals" once a quarter and I use the Doctopus add-on with a Goobric to grade them. This has saved me a lot of time AND increased how much feedback I'm able to give them. Win win! Also, I've used their bell-ringer/warm-up journals to review vocabulary words. I randomly assigned students a vocabulary word and asked them to find an image that show the words meaning. Next, students put their slides in presentation mode, then do a gallery walk. As they view each other's work, they write down the vocabulary word they think is being depicted on a sticky note next to each laptop. When students return to their seat, they'll know whether their picture sufficiently showed their assigned word's meaning based on their peer's anonymous feedback. Plus, it gets them up and moving. :)

@ShakeUpLearning @jmattmiller Hi Kasey and Matt I am using this Health - Emoji Exit Ticket this week in my #healthed class 😊 Since you spoke about "Exit Tickets" this week on your Podcast, I thought I would share it out to the #gttribe Link 2 Exit Ticket https://t.co/PaBEZA5GUs pic.twitter.com/zUuhkoZzPJ

alright here’s one for the #GTTribe...if I have a past assignment/announcement posted on my #GoogleClassroom stream...I can’t figure out how to move it to a topic to organize it unless I indicated that when I created it..am I out of luck here @jmattmiller ?
— Miss Goetz (@miss_goetz) February 14, 2018 Click the three dots menu button and “Edit”, then change the topic here …@jmattmiller @ShakeUpLearning Could the question of extra credit be solved by having an announcement laying out the EC and then students can request access. Then she can use the individual assign to add the grade only to the relevant students? #GTtribe

— Mr Blight (@mrblight_srss) January 29, 2018Jenny O’Sullivan (Boca Raton, Florida) -- My name is Jenny and I am the K-5 STEAM teacher at A.D. Henderson University School in Boca Raton, FL. As an elementary specialist, I have 18 classes. To avoid having my younger students type out their very long email addresses each time to log into Google Classroom on the STEAM Lab computers, I have assigned each student to a computer. My problem is that Google only saves 10 email addresses for quick login. Is there an extension, hack, or work around to allow us to save all 18 addresses for quick login?
Aimee from Nebraska: Loves AndThenIWasLike.co and has added some to her LMS. Happy we motivate her to pursue new ideas … had more teachers than students in the classroom to see what she’s doing and that’s partly due to us.

Pear Deck is a formative assessment tool that allows you to add interactive questions, warmups, exit tickets, and even drawings to your Google Slides. Get the Pear Deck Add-On.
The sidebar now gives you access to a library of templates created by educators to support learning objectives typically found at the beginning, middle and end of a class. Here you will find bell ringers, checks for understanding, exit tickets, and more. Simply drop one of these templates into your slide for instant engagement.
Beginning: Bell Ringer Example
Middle: Labeling Diagrams Example
End: Explain the Lesson Example
5 Interactive Question Types in Pear DeckYou have 5 options for how students can respond to your question. They can respond with:
StackUp (stackup.net) -- Gather data on what you read. Stackup categorizes it and displays it, letting students see their reading stats. It adds some competition with challenges, where classes can see who can rack up the most hours of reading in a specific category. “The Fitbit of the Internet.”
Screencastify (screencastify.com) -- Record your screen, webcam or both in the Google Chrome browser. Save directly to Google Drive or YouTube. When you save to Drive, students can turn work in easily through Google Classroom.
