Activity Circle is a great program to be used by all content area teachers across all grade levels. The program is accessed through an app where teachers create activities for their students to complete. Teachers can ask students multiple choice questions, to draw pictures, and to fill in the blank. Teachers can also add articles for students to read, as well. This is a great tool to use because it targets so many different learning styles through so many different activities offered. It also allows teachers to monitor students’ learning closely to determine their understanding of the material. Another great feature of this program is that you can share with other teachers and even parents. This is a great resource for us as future teachers to use because it will help students learn in different ways, allows us to track their learning, give us the opportunity to share with other teachers, and help keep parents up to date on what’s going on in the classroom.

Hey Hannah!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a super valuable resource for teachers! As we’ve seen in our other classes at Hilsman, students are becoming more accustomed to getting their education through technology, and this is a great way to incorporate that. Also, I’m sure the parents would love the ability to see how their students are doing with this. I really like that it provides a platform that you can have students do multiple things like answer questions or read articles, so it can be used as just a group activity or as a kind of formative assessment for the unit the class is covering. I’m loving all of your tech resources that you’ve shared so far, definitely making a note of this one! Great post!
