Quiz tools for teachers

This  is a great article with some awesome quiz tools for teachers. Thanks to freetech4teachers.com for sharing this!

So, the very first one of these drills found on blubbr, captured and inspired me. This would be perfect for the family or the body parts unit.

Seriously. I've already made three quizzes for my online classes, and it's Saturday!  This one is great. It searches youtube for videos, and I can go in and make up questions for my students based on certain clips. Now, I would not do this for a grade, but these are short, easy practice activities that will give students comprehensible input….and hopefully a good laugh! Here is my first attempt. What do you think?



Socrative is a great quiz tool that teachers can use to quiz the entire class at once. Teachers can display results and questions on the overhead, and students use their tablet, computer, or cell phone to respond.

Teacher Apps

I stumbled upon this great page on Twitter. Thanks to Teachingappz for sharing this great teacher's resource!



Here is a great article entitled 5 Apps every teacher should have. Thanks to PikeMall Tech for sharing!

Milk art to practice colors in Spanish and French

Milk Art is here! Thanks to flutter flutter for sharing this awesome craft.

This craft is great to do to practice colors, counting and verbs in the foreign language classroom. Very dramatic attention could be paid to the following. Be sure the students are counting with you:

Naming the colors.
Counting the drops as they go in the milk.
Using verbs in context as children watch: Look! The colors are moving! The red and blue are mixing together!
