Stop Motion with Building Shapes

Grade 1 students are learning about Geometry in their current math unit.  One of the lessons focuses on using pattern blocks to build shapes.  The students absolutely adored the app Stop Motion to record an animation of their shape building.

Socrative in the Chinese Classroom



Some of the K-2 WL teachers have been using Socrative with great success.  Students listen to a story as a whole group and then answer comprehension questions using Socrative.  The teacher runs the 'quiz' at the teacher's pace allowing for the class to see the correct answer after each question and giving time for discussion on why that answer was correct and the others were not correct.
