 Hey, hi everybody. This is actually my first time doing a webinar. I'm used to teaching where I can see you and you can see me so it feels a little disembodied here at the moment. I'm gonna go ahead and share my screen. What I want to start with is Quizlet. And if you are not familiar with Quizlet, it is for me thinking. It is a website that allows you to create flashcards or you can search and find sets that are already created by other people. And there it is right there, Quizlet, if you're not familiar with it. This particular webinar is not about how to create flashcards in Quizlet or how to create any kind of material in any of the other programs or websites. It's strictly on how you can engage with your students during like a Zoom meeting, for example, this type of meeting or if you're using Google Meet. And I am going to start by showing you in quizzes, which wasn't a thing until just this month. Originally, if you played a Quizlet live game with your students, you had to be in a classroom, they had to be next to each other. You would group them by threes and they would work together to compete. They have just created it where the students can play a live game, but they are playing individually. So from wherever they are and they can play on their phones or they can play on a laptop or an iPad, but they are competing and they can see on your screen as they're playing, they can see who's in the lead. The one thing I will say is that there are some students that are just really good at these games and I played four games with my students last night and there were two students who just kind of flip flopped on who, you know, who won each one. So let me show you here one that I have. This is one that I created with some vocabulary from a reading that we've done and you can see here on the side, it has under study. When I clicked on the units that I created, you have flash cards and then some other ways for you to study. I'm going to use mine. Sorry about that. Make it easier for you to see with the spotlight. So you have flash cards initially and that's what pops up here where you click on it and then you've got your definition, however you've done it, or you can start with the definition and then have the term and then you advance down this way. So these are just flash cards that I've created. In order to play a live game, you have to have what they consider to be at least six unique terms or unique definitions. So for example, I was teaching Jaren's versus infinitives and for all the answers I had either to do or doing. Well, that doesn't work because there aren't enough that are different. But if you have at least six different unique answers here that are available, you can play a live game. So I'm going to go down here. So to go back, when you're on the Quizlet main page, once you've created your account, you would just click on one of your sets that you've, they call them sets. So I'm just going to click on a vocabulary one that I created. And then you're going to scroll down all the way to where it says live right here. You click on live and then it asks how you would like to play. So the teams one is the one that I mentioned earlier where your students, once you're back in the classroom, they would be in groups of three and they would compete. That's not available to play live. You have to click on individuals. So you want to go ahead and select that one. Then it asks you, which is really nice how you would like to play. So depending on how long your answer is or definition is, you could start by the definition and then they would have to pick the term or you can start with the term. So for mine, because I have some idioms and some prepositional phrases that are longer, when we played last night, we started with that. Oh, no, actually, I'm sorry, we started with the definition because they were longer and then they had to pick. So I'm going to go ahead and select this first one where we start with the definition and you guys will be able to play along and you'll see in just a second. If you're on the phone for your students who have their phones where they're playing, they can download the app but they don't have to. But the first time that they sign in and if you're on a phone, you'll be able to see this for yourself. It'll ask for their email, their name, and then their, I'm sorry, it's slipping my mind. I believe it's their grade. There are just three questions they zip right through and then they're fine, they're able to go. Otherwise, if you're planning on playing it a lot, you could advise them to go ahead and download the app. So I will go ahead and start here. We're going to select it where it starts with the definition and then you have to pick the term. I'm going to click there. I don't know if you saw me do that. I did that pretty quickly. If you go down here to options because the music comes on as loud as whatever your meeting is and so it's pretty loud. But when you click options, it gives you the option to turn the music on or off. So I'm clicking it off and then I'll X out. So there are two ways for you to join. The easiest way if they have a phone is to just open their camera and then they just act like they're going to take a picture of this code and it will say at the top a little tab will pop up and say join the Quizlet game and they just tap on that and they will automatically be joined. And then if they do have to fill out the email or anything, then they would do it at that time. Or you can type in this code at this address, the Quizlet live address. So you've got four people so far. Ross, this is Anthony from OTAN. Can I just ask a couple of questions while people are joining? Are you currently using a free account or a paid teacher account? Oh, I'm sorry. It's free. I only do free. Yes, it is free. Okay. It's not free because of the you know the coronavirus. This Quizlet is free all the time. Okay. And then so another person asked, can you use other materials previously posted from other instructors? Absolutely. Absolutely. So I mentioned at the beginning that you can either create your own or you can you know search for other material and then adopt it or use it exactly the way they created it. And then Ross, can you just remind us again to how we can join the Quizlet activity? The Quizlet live. So are you able to still see my screen? Yes. We can see the QR code on the right hand side and the code on the left side. Exactly. So those are the two ways that you can do it. So you can either open your camera on your cell phone and you can scan the QR code and it will pop up immediately and say do you want to join this and you just tap and you're in. Also if you're in the app you see here in the app you can it says you just tap play Quizlet live and then scan the code if you downloaded the app for some reason but you don't have to. Or if you're on a laptop or even on your cell phone or iPad you would just go to this address the Quizlet.live address and then you type in this code for some reason and I don't know if it's on my computer but the last number overlaps with the word join and I don't know why that is. It's something with this layout but you just type in this number and then at that point it will ask you you know for your name and possibly your email and grade just depending. Okay Ross so we have a couple questions. I guess we're also going to find out is there a maximum number of players? So that's a great question. I didn't realize how many people would be in the webinar. So we're going to find out apparently there isn't because it's still saying create the game. We haven't hit any kind of snags yet and we're at 68 and counting. So that I don't know. I'm going to look on my phone and see if maybe that answer is available while we're okay. So I googled it and apparently there is no maximum. They someone even noted that they played a game with 150 people. Ross again just to be clear to participate in the game though you don't have to create an account. You don't have to create an account but it does ask you I believe that first time for your email and your name but you're not creating an account per se with like a password or anything like that. So let's say for example Ross that they're on so a student is using their phone for Zoom. So then how can they do this quiz? So how can they do both things at the same time? So they'll just open another tab so they won't be able to still look at you in Zoom. But they can so you know if you're in Safari in an iPhone or whatever it is in an Android and you're able to add another window you just simply open another window and play it or if they have the app they would just go out of you know out of the Zoom they're not leaving the meeting but they're just simply minimizing the meeting and then they're opening up the app or they're opening up another another window in order to play the game because they have to still see the meeting in order to know. The only thing is if they leave the meeting and you know they're on their phone and they can only have one window open on a phone on an iPad you can split the screen. There is a way for you to still have the meeting off to the side and then bring up you know Quizlet or another other window in order to go into the website. I just lost my train of thought. Oh they don't need to see the screen is what I'm saying. So there's nothing that I'm going to be showing in the meeting that you'll need to refer to in order to answer the questions in the game. That's all you need to do is begin the game. So unlike so for example with Kahoot, Kahoot is an issue. It's not possible for you to play on your phone because you have to see the questions in the meeting either in Zoom or Google Meet and then you just answer with the corresponding color on your phone. So it's not possible to play on your phone right now but in Quizlet you're fine with one device. And again they don't have to stay in the meeting. They can play the game and go out. They advantage to them having say I know in Windows 10 you're able to have multiple windows open kind of side by side that you can do that and of course in an iPad you can have them open to windows open and side by side looking at them. The advantage to that is it's going to show who's in the lead and you're not I don't know if you're on the phone with the way the questions are going if you can kind of see that in real time because you're seeing the questions. So you guys will be able to tell me that. That's one thing I hadn't thought about if you're you know if the students want to see I mean this is a huge group so but if you have a small class like mine it's nice if you can kind of see so I'm not sure on a phone if you're able to see who's in the lead if that's you know of a concern for you so it would be nice if you could have them open just to see who's winning. So we've got a hundred right now I don't know how many are in the in the meeting I had looked at about 200 people so I'm assuming the rest of you so I'll talk as the rest of you continue to join. As you're playing the game on my screen you will be able to see who's in the lead. The one concern with this I may have to put you guys into teams because normally if you play individually and you have a small number of students what it does is it it doesn't play by your name it assigns you an animal so alligator tiger or whatever and that's who you are on the screen so the other students who are playing they don't know who's who which is kind of nice if you're not doing well there's no embarrassment factor with that it's just an animal that's showing but as you're playing the game if you miss any questions it forces you to go all the way back to the beginning so I'll say that again if you miss a question it could literally be the last question and it forces you to go back to the beginning and the game is over unlike in some of the other applications when that first person answers all of the questions the game is over so some of the other ones that you'll play it will allow everyone else to continue you know until the end so if you have students that are pretty quick when they get to the end it doesn't matter if the other students are you know only on the third question the game is over all right so I apologize if anyone is still trying to join you would not be able to join this after I start the game so I'm going to go ahead and create we've got about 108 people here so you can see here for example mark is now on the alligator team Colleen is with the kangaroos etc etc so look at that so it did it was able to find over 100 animals to name so there you go so you can see here it still has the code and things here so maybe it will allow you on this they there have been some changes like I said this has only been within the last couple of weeks that they've done it normally once you start a quiz quiz is live game it doesn't allow you to join but it is possible maybe for someone else to join so after I start the game I'm even going to try to see if I can join afterwards just to kind of find out if that's the case so I'm going to go ahead and click start and you'll see it's pretty easy you're just going to oh okay so these students are disconnected so I'm going to go ahead and start the game it's letting me know not everyone is ready but since we're going to go ahead and plan to start the game anyway so here's our screen so you can see here as you all start answering these are going to move over there it is so no names just the animal names here oh we have a winner so it looks like Ivy was the first one so like I said it didn't matter where the rest of you were the fact that she got there first the game is over so now at this point you have some options you can either exit the game completely you can play with a new set so this is where you go in and you pick a different set of questions totally different set of questions to play or you could play this exact same game again um then it will start to show all of the flashcards that you went through if you wanted to review them with the students and then you can just toggle through those so it shows what you learned and that is available for the students as well for them to see the flashcards so Roz yeah a couple of questions do you give any credit for their participation and also maybe a related question what do you see with any kind of stats or results so this is a brand new way of playing Quizlet and it just became available a couple of weeks ago so I've only played it once with my students um I know that they really really enjoy it um and what I did is I played the same game four times because I know some students may really practice with the flashcards you know religiously and others may play just one time and that's not enough for retention um but the fact that we're playing it over and over and then they get a little competitive you know when they see because I noticed that as they play the game like the multiple times you'll see because you know I know who's who um you'll see that they're moving a little faster so they are learning so there's nothing there's no report or anything that gets generated on you know which questions they missed or how long they took to answer each one but I just know uh kind of anecdotally that just you know them playing four times that some of the students that seem to lag that they got a lot farther and the the race was a little closer uh each time more so than the you know certain students dominating um but there's I don't give them credit or anything for for playing it's just something that we do for an activity I have other things that I do uh to give them credit for and that would be for them to go in uh into Quizlet with the practicing part of it but not the Quizlet live is it possible to show us again how we get this organized oh absolutely I can I can walk through all of the steps again so I'm gonna hit exit in this particular game and we're gonna go ahead and play another one so to go back to when you first log into Quizlet once you have your account this is what it will open to um it'll show you you know your recent um uh sets uh is what they call them and then you can of course have you all so let's just click on this other one that I have so you just click on the one you want or you can go into if you've set up folders uh you can do that or you know your class however you have it organized and like I said that's a separate lesson um but I will go ahead and click here on this particular set this is what they are so of course we review them what I have them do for warm up I have them go through the flash cards immediately before we play it live um so that way they're you know it's kind of fresh in their minds when you get to this screen here with the flash card the very last option here is live so you just click on live right here and then it asks how you would like to play so again teams is only when they're physically next to each other so just look at that and remember they need to be together so we have to play individually if they are online so you click select on that and then you have the option to either start with the definition or start with the term so because of the interest of time I found it that it's easier to start especially if the definition is a little lengthy it depends on you know what level you're teaching but if your definition is kind of long you might be better off starting with that and then they just guess the term versus because here it's going to be longer because now they have to read through every single definition let's just click on that one to start with the definition this time instead so you can see that it definitely slows the game a little bit so again you have your qr code that you can open up your camera on your phone or ipad and scan it or if you're on your computer you can just type in this address and then type in the code or they can download the app and ross um one other thing too so um maybe we need uh to remind people or point out to people that um you could have these two things going on simultaneously meaning but I think maybe to go back to that question that people said they were not able to see the questions so the questions are not appearing in zoom right they appear wherever wherever you're doing the quizlet activity yes right so I think maybe people were expecting that the questions would show up in the zoom window but that's not correct right oh no no no no so what I mentioned maybe where some confusion came is that if you play kahoot in kahoot you do have to be able to see the zoom window because that's where the questions appear but when you play quizlet everything is in that either the app or on the website that you're playing it's going to flash the term and then you'll select from the options for the definition so you're not you you don't even have to be in the meeting right now you could you know have that minimized if you're on your phone you can be in a totally different window the meeting is not the only reason why you would want to still have the window open possibly uh is so you can kind of see who's winning but with you know with the number of players we have um you know I don't even know if that's that's going to be an issue if that's something you'd want to do but yeah you don't have to be in the meeting at all and it is not going to allow you to join uh after the fact so if you don't join before um clicking you know start and it's because it is a race so it won't allow you to join afterward unlike some other apps and I am going to go through quizzes in just a moment and quizzes is one where the students can join you know all the way up until the other ones are almost finished but this one in quizzes it will not allow you to join after the game has started can you add pictures to the flashcards so again those are questions like for creating the the flashcards um I don't believe so I'm not sure let me since we're waiting for people to join I'll just check so if you click create yes you are able to add an image okay great and then there was a question if we could go back to before you um start the quiz so do you see in the upper right the copy game link button sure there's a question about what that does exactly it just gives you this link here the with the code and and all of that and I'll click on it maybe it'll show you for example if you just wanted to send it to your students in remind um for them to do if you think that might be easier so it's just copy to my um to my clipboard here and I'll just go to a word document and show you what it looks like so that's it so if you are doing remind or talking points or some other way that you communicate with your students and you think it might be easier um you also in zoom I'm just thinking that uh you could put it in the chat maybe and then it's not super difficult but if for some reason you have students saying I can't get to it this might be an easy way to just go ahead and throw that in there and then they can just click and go from there we're ready okay so we're going to go ahead and start another I could hear in the sound effects I left the sound effects on um I could hear where you know if you missed one remember it goes all the way back to the beginning which kind of adds to the excitement on that one okay if there are no other questions on Quizlet Live then I wanted to move on to um to the next site if that's okay yeah Roz maybe just one question and then sure switch over so um just a question about frustration level so do you do you encounter this with students and how do you how do you address that with the students so the way that I address it um is again I'll start and make sure that we have reviewed all of the terms this is not used as a surprise you know now we're going to go ahead and play this live I make sure that they you know for example on afford uh oops or excuse me for suggest that they've seen this definition that they've played it over and over for Quizlet it has the flash cards it has a learn feature here um where it gives them they it'll either give them the definition and then they go down and click the term or you can go to options um and then have it start with the definition instead and click start over and now it'll start with the term and then they can go down here and pick the definition so it's already something that they've been you know practicing I've given it to them for homework and then again I have them go through flash cards immediately before we play the game so they're already familiar with it and then some you know have practiced on their own even more than that um so that that cuts down on the frustration level if they're getting too frustrated then that you know to me that would signify that the um the material is too difficult maybe I need to take something out but I haven't had the students be frustrated um with these at all and this comes from a reading that they're doing as well this is part of an entire unit uh in this one if they're not just random terms that I have here again um I think you mentioned it both the stats what exactly do we what information do we get with the stats that come in when the game is completed you don't get any that's that's one of the down you know um I can't think of the word but this is one of the not good things about this one is it doesn't tell you how students performed during it it only tells you who came in first once they once a person finishes the game is over and you don't get any information about how anyone did you just find out who came in first okay um there are some questions ross about more of the um like uh working with the cards themselves do you want to answer those questions or and um I do want to add something um for people who are concerned about like you know what the stats would be um if you assign this in you know school classroom or whatever you're using you can see how well they did um as they go through each of these I tell my students to go through each of these culminating in the test so these are all the study features here um for the cards uh so you've got the flash cards right you've got the learn that I showed you a second ago um where you get the term and then they have a multiple choice to guess what the definition is um they have a right at a previous time which is um it can be it has the written prompt and then you also can click on at a previous time and then if you this is the uh the right if you go to the spell this one they don't even have the written definition you're just getting the audio prompt no doubt and then they have to type that out and then it has your definition down here and then the last oh that is the last study so those are the four study things and then Quizlet generates a test based on the flash cards and you have the options of how you want it to be the typical option is three questions of four different types so you'll have you know your written questions here where it gives the definition uh and then they have to type in the um the term then it has a matching section here right it has multiple choice questions I guess it depends on how many terms you have to uh and then true or false questions and you can go over here to options and change the question types however you'd like to do it so I tell my students to make sure when I give them the assignment you know for the week on the vocabulary to make sure that they you know at least get to you know maybe the right but I tell them if possible go all the way down to the test it also has a couple of games that has a concentration which is uh the match you click start game and now you have the definitions and the terms and all you do is you just click on the term such as mentioned and then you drag it to the definition or vice versa once you drag it to that you just simply let go of your cursor and the turns green and disappears it's correct if it's wrong say for example if I put melt here it just turns red and throws it back out and they can play this over and over and over and it has the time on the side so if they finish playing and then they want to play again they can again and it'll say beat your previous time so that's kind of a fun way for them to practice as well and then the last one they have the only other game besides the match because you'll see it's here under play besides the match is gravity and this is kind of like what was it Galaga or can't think of the other one Centipede or something where it's like an old school let's start with the definition so you you have the options you can start with all of the things that they studied you can start with the term or the definition and you can select the difficulty so I'll just leave it at medium we'll go let's go and it tells you to watch out for red asteroids if you miss it twice it'll destroy your planet and click start and then you'll see this asteroid is going to start coming down and it has the word here and then they have to type the definition so that's probably too difficult probably want to let me pause it so I'm going to change it to where it starts with the term instead of that click start and so now it's going to come down with the definition and then they have to type the term and hit enter and then it'll disappear if they enter the wrong thing then this asteroid will keep coming toward us so let's just say no no no and then once it hits now they've it hits the earth down here it's too late so they have quite a bit of time any questions about the the games that they oh and it showed the correct answer I'm sorry I clicked out of it too quickly it'll show them what the correct answer was what they should have written um let's see here if you you cannot do team because they have to be physically near each other you have to do individual play and it will tell you that on the Quizlet website as well that in order to play remotely it has to be individual this does have to be a competition they can practice on your own if they if you assign the flashcards they can't play live on their own live has to be competitive um but they can practice these on their own and I am about to go over these other ones let's see here uh so you can create your own your own flashcards or you can use ones that other people have created that are in the database here and I teach transitions so advanced level students it's you know reason why the words of the definitions are a little difficult um but I've taught all levels so there are ways for you to make this friendly to whatever your level is you know we've shown you can add images um you can certainly have simpler you know vocabulary in order to make this work um you also are able to practice with audio prompts you cannot in live you're not able to do the audio prompts in live it's just going to be you know the the print um but there are lots of ways to to do this so that was Quizlet I'm going to X out of it this is quizzes quiz and then izz you're not familiar with it and it's just quizzes.com and again it's free and not just free because of the quarantine it's free all the time so I've had this account for a while. This function is the same as most of the other learning sites you can either create you can see here you can create your own quizzes or you can go here and find a quiz that meets your needs and you can either use it as is or you can make changes to it and make it your own. What I like about quizzes it lacks the excitement of playing a live game which I find breaks up the monotony especially playing on you know online having online meetings it can you know get kind of dull which is why I like Quizlet the one I just explained for that because you have this you know this competitive nature to it with this one when you play games that are live they're playing at their own pace so it's a little nicer if you have students that are all at a different level because they are able to finish the quiz regardless of you know you're noticing Quizlet once one person finished game over with quizzes it doesn't end until everyone has finished although you will still have you know people who place first second and third and it will tell you the results but this one lacks kind of that that excitement you know and competitiveness that Quizlet has the benefit to this and you'll see at the end is it will generate a report you can go in at the end and see which questions particular students missed you can find out which questions were difficult pretty much for all of your class ones that took a very long time to answer it really gives a detailed report that I'll show you and in quizzes you can create your own class you can add your students on it and then it's very easy in quizzes when you create a quiz you are able to assign it from here you don't have to do a lot of copying and pasting you can create a quiz and assign it in Google classroom for future plays where they can play over and over or with the way that we are going to do it for this webinar you can play it live during your class so I'm going to click on my quizzes and these are ones that I've created and so this is one from the same vocabulary so I go across all of these platforms so we've got the flashcards and then I have in this one this is where they're having to use the word you know and apply it in a different situation instead of just you know what's the definition so when you go into what either either finding a quiz or clicking on your own they all look like this so you just want to go ahead and click on it and then you have these options so you can see down here you can play live and it tells you start a multiplayer game so you can play it live I mentioned you can assign it as homework and they can do it or if your students if you've created a class your students can go in here and they can practice on their own and again all of that is you know quizzes is a separate lesson all on its own but for us we're going to play live so when you click on the go back here to the main page your home page you just either click on something that opens up you can find a quiz or I'm going to go into my own click on the quiz itself these are all separate quizzes and then you go right here to play live now you have some options and you can see as you scroll down there's a lot before you hit continue so you don't just unless you've already had it set where you know you don't make any changes depending on the situation you won't click continue until you set your criteria so the first thing you do is right here pick your game mode so to play live you only have two options you can play in teams so again it's self-paced so they're still answering at their own pace but then the scores are grouped by by teams so you can do that you know if you have an even amount of students if you don't what it does say you have seven students it will kind of add points to make it where it's equal you know as though they had four players on each team so it doesn't matter if the team numbers are you know uneven if you wanted to do by team I don't I don't find it I never play it by team because I like the individual reports and things and because this isn't a game where you know they can really feel like they're competing they're just going through and answering it at the end it'll say who came in first second or third but it doesn't have it that same weight so I usually don't play by teams it's just not exciting in that way so normally we play in the classic way and the classic way is just they complete individually the test mode is is different than than live play this is where instead of having some of the features they'll show means in between the questions they have you know some fun features and things when you play the classic way if you opt in for that when you play the test mode it's just straight questions and I I don't use the test mode I do testing through like google forms or you know different platforms so I don't use the test mode for live play I recommend either the classic or the team now you can go in and if you've created a class in quizzes you can go here where it says assign to class hit select and then your class will show up and you can see the google classroom emblem and you would just click there and next and then it will assign it to all of them or you can yeah it'll assign it in google classroom and they'll go through google classroom sorry here you have advanced settings so you can see the arrow um right here and this is kind of a new feature you would just click on the down arrow if for some reason it isn't already open um for the advanced settings and this is where you can change pretty much everything about the game so the first one it talks about student attempts this is how many times can they take the quiz so if you are doing it uh live in the classroom you want to set this for one time the reason being you cannot get the test results until everyone is finished uh and one time I have this set you'll see it allows for unlimited play one time I had it set for unlimited play and one student when he finished he kept going in to play it over and over so I could not get the results uh get the report that I needed so I set it for one time when we're playing live now if you assign it for homework then of course you want to make it unlimited so the students can you know can play over and over um but for the live we're going to leave it at one for the required to log in uh to limit attempts it's showing you that they will have to log in so that way it's only one time that way you'll know who played so when you sign up I think it will require you to put in your email the name factory this is uh you know if you have a problem with students you know typing in inappropriate things you would you know do this but we all teach adults so this usually isn't an issue with them putting names that would be inappropriate this next one is showing the answers in the game so I leave this on otherwise when they answer a question it will just go to the next question um but you want them if they if they you know type in or hit the wrong answer you want them to know what the correct one is in real time so it will show them immediately no you picked x and it should have been y um so I leave that on to show the correct answers uh this one I also leave on so that at the end of the game um they are able to go back and review all the questions and answers on their end I usually go over the answers um after them after the game together um with the class especially if you know they've missed quite a few um but this allows them on their device to go back and review those questions and answers if you have it on the gameplay settings so power ups and you'll see I'll leave it on um it will allow the students to get bonus points it'll say you know if you get the next answer right you get 50 extra points or you know things like that so it just has a little element of fun to the game so I usually leave that on uh for the timer um students will see a countdown because in quizzes when you either create your own quiz or you adopt a quiz that someone else has created you choose how long the students have to answer the question so if it's 45 seconds they're going to see a countdown timer so you definitely want to do that so they'll know when the time is almost up you want them to be able to see the leaderboard and in quizzes it will show the actual names not you know it's like some animal representative you know it's just going to show their names on the leaderboard shuffle the questions is not really necessary um so turn that off that would be maybe if the students were playing in the classroom you don't want them to be able to look over and they're all on the same questions so that's not necessary same thing with shuffling the answers with changing the order of the answers that's not necessary really either uh with playing online this one is nice this redemption question um if for some reason a student you know has missed uh and you know gotten questions wrong it allows them to try to do it again what it'll do is it'll come back later on and give them the opportunity to answer it again so we'll leave that on it maybe when you play um you can intentionally miss a question because I know you guys would get them all right but you intentionally miss a question when you play and that way you can see that it'll allow you to answer that question again and then you also have the option to show memes some funny pictures after each question I usually have that off that just seems to be unnecessary these are you know these learning apps are kind of catering to k through 12 and so that's why that's there but for my students I usually leave that off okay any questions on this page before I start the game ross can you um just a clarification so you did mention um the connection to google classroom can you can you just talk again how do you create that connection so that you could use google classroom uh for quizzes okay so let me go back to my quiz so say I want to assign this to to google classroom I'd go ahead and click on the quiz that I want to um to assign I go right here assign for homework and then you can see it opens up a screen and again you don't just click continue unless everything is already set you'll have to go through all of the settings so the first thing is is learners should complete the quiz so you set your deadline and I think it goes about a month out yeah it goes about a month out um and so let's say I want it done by May 1st I click on that and it tells you how many days and you know from now you can set the the deadline time so let's say I want it done by you know midnight you can change am or can if that's all you need to do you click continue but if you want to assign it to your uh google classroom and you've created the class right it's very easy and I'll show you after um you just click classes and you click create class and it will allow you to create a classroom um you just click select here for assign to a class and then you just click the google classroom that you want to assign it to so click next and it's already done oh no I'm sorry it's not done until I click assign game it's already got that in there and then I can click it shows you this quiz will be assigned to one class and it shows the class and then when I click assign it would be there if for some reason I wanted to name it I could click here and then I could you know write in what the name of the assignment is and then if I wanted to add a description I could and then it also says when should this game start you can either have it available immediately or you can schedule just the day not the time oh no I'm sorry you can do the time I normally don't do it this way I normally do it from google classroom maybe that's um why this is not making sense to me at the moment yeah so you can go in and you can change your time and so forth here and then hit next and then once you hit assign game it will tell you that it's already been assigned to uh to your google classroom and that they'll notify um the students for that and then if you go into your google classroom you would be able to see it um and I'll just show you so if I go into classwork you'll see it's right here at the top and it will give them a link for their phone and a link for the website and then of course once it's in google classroom of course you can you know if you decide you know what I don't want to have it you know scheduled for this time or do anything you can make changes and edit that in google classroom any questions on any of this so um Ross you also there was a question about um besides google classroom there are other ways to share the quizzes right sure you can um if you wanted to uh just get the link um let's see here it should so that's the same settings so the same settings for the live game the student attempts the answers the power-ups etc all of that they're the same settings um so if you don't want to assign it to um to a classroom um you would just click continue and now you have a link so this is another way to share it with google classroom um you can either click here on the google classroom share the link or here you ask the participants to open this joinmyquiz.com and enter um this code so right here is where you would click the link so you can either click here and it will share it automatically to your google classroom or you click here and now it shows you down here the link is copied share and paste it on your favorite tool so if you have you know say remind you click remind and then you just put it in there or talking points or however you're communicating with your students and you could also share it in the zoom chat right if you want if you were absolutely absolutely yep okay um you're probably gonna mention this but quizzes will work on any device yes and you don't need an app no app needed great and with quizzes again it works the same way as Quizlet you do not have to be able to see the the meeting so you don't have to still have zoom open where you can see it in order to play the game you can on your phone just simply go to you know another window or on the laptop you can just click out of that open another tab and start playing it and then when it's done you can go back to the meeting because all of the questions and answers will show in quizzes okay so play live i'm gonna hit continue for a classic game and if you would like to join it shows you use any device go to joinmyquiz.com this one doesn't have the qr code so you will have to type in the game code so here's your link as well if for some reason you got to this point you can copy the link and put it in in your zoom or your google meet it even has remind you can see right here if for some reason someone's using a canvas account you could do it there they are free so you you have the little picture next to it um but it's going to be the person's name and you see if you hover over it you can remove the player i've never had to do that but just know you have that option rods yes okay some people are saying that um they need to they're getting a prompt that they need to be registered to play the game so it's just going to ask you your email and your name and i believe if you're a student or a teacher so you don't register in the sense of filling out a long form and putting in a password but it gets just some basic information from you for the first time so it's it's almost like they're prompting us to create an account that's weird that has not so i went to the meeting i don't know if all these people already had used this before but um you want a laptop or is this happening to people on their phones so i'm actually walking through the steps on my phone and i went to join my quiz com uh and i'm yeah i'm actually getting the prompt to put in some account details i think they want me to create an account okay so somebody says it's happening i don't remember creating an account so mine i joined the game too and i was able to go straight into it um but i i mean walked through the steps anthony on mine at which point so i don't remember what they were i know my daughter did it um she did a practice with me and i thought she had to put in was her email in her name i didn't remember her having to create an entire account okay it could be that um when they got to the prompt to um about putting in let me see if i can go back to that step um to join the game and they put in the code some people might have um then just put in their google account information and maybe that's how they just automatically oh could have been yeah yeah but if you got your password for your google account right but i just said no i oh there's a regular email address so it could be yeah it could be that google connection then yeah it probably yeah google's in everything so you know if you and that might have been it i think when i got to it i just tapped my school email um and allowed it to uh to come in from that yeah if you put in that you're a teacher it will ask you that it really wants you to just open i mean it's a free account if you don't want to do that for today then you can just watch as the students play but um i mean it's not my students have all been able to play and and log in and that you know doesn't seem to be that that much information that it requires okay but it is a good reminder to test it out first right ross yeah i mean well i knew that it would ask for a little bit of information or they could sign in through their email i did tell students that but i told them they seem to be more concerned with having to download an app they didn't mind having to give their email and their name they just didn't like having to download an app are we ready you think to start or yeah why don't we give it a go i know that people are still having a little some people are still having trouble but maybe in the interest of time if you want okay so well this is the good news so you can still join after the fact so once i click start and you finally get it you know get registered you'll be able to join in so i'll go ahead and click for all your teachers who want to and if you are able to still see the zoom room you can see the leader board so you see the names and you'll see the questions that they've answered and how quickly and so forth and then whoever's you know the the movement here you can see those as well you can set it to show only the top five if you wanted to do that shows you the number of players with the rank and then up here at the top it's doing this little running ticker um on the completion and then how accurate the answers are if you are curious and you know while they're playing you say how the question's doing you can click the questions tab and it will show you for each individual question the average time it's taken for them to answer and how many have gotten it right and how many have missed it so this game will not end until everyone who's playing has completely so if you've signed into the game i see some people down here whose names are listed um like anthony you're on here if you're not going to play oh you are going to play yeah because if you don't answer uh gene and jill if you don't answer okay um because otherwise the game will not end and i can't get to the reports i'll have to remove you from the game if you're not going to answer and so all of these people have finished and you'll get different colors um oh no it's just showing all purple so it's pretty much everybody so once the the uh the last people finish it is going to pop up you can't control how long this lasts but it will pop up and show you who plays first second and third but that flashes on the screen i've never figured out a way to freeze that um but after it does that then it'll bring up the leaderboard again but it'll show kind of the podium and you'll see that in just a minute um once everyone finishes you'll notice as you were playing that it showed you the leaderboard so you knew where you're where you were um on the list there so if for some reason you're playing this and maybe you have a larger class or students are having issues um it shows you right here that we have three people who haven't finished 72 out of 75 are done but if you have an issue with one of them you can do what i did and you can just click the x here and you can remove them from the list and then the quiz can finally end and you can get your um your results right can i can i just ask a question yeah please don't join because um it's going to take you a while to get through all the questions and we want to go ahead and show the results so i can move on to the last thing so i'm actually gonna remove you sandra i apologize it doesn't look like you've answered a question yet but i want to go ahead and get to the results ross can i ask a question sure please someone asked how do i know which grade level each player selected which grade level i see where you're i you know that i don't know i don't think that information is available to you um but it doesn't matter anyway because they they're gonna play whatever material you select so it has no bearing on the material it's not going to change the level of the questions or the questions or whatever you give them and ross you happen to know um was the time that it took for a person to answer a question factored into the results yes because it's this is still a race it's just a self-paced race so the person who wins is the person who answered the questions um correctly the fastest so i'm gonna manually end the game normally what happens it's because we had people joining later and then people who didn't answer all the questions but if your students go through and they answer all the questions as soon as it's over other results will pop up so i'm gonna click end game and hopefully this will still show the results here we go first second and third Anthony you came back in place third good for you so first is maria and second sherry so that flashes right um and then oh nice look at this mastery party so it's showing all of you who got a hundred percent that goes so it's kind of nice right the the little graphics are nice now this is what i normally see because my students tend to not get a hundred percent so i have never seen that before um but what's nice about the reports and quizzes this first one you get is class accuracy it tells you how many you know the percentage that they got um correctly you can also share a practice link from here or you can go back into the main part of quizzes and assign it as homework it shows you which question was the toughest so which one was answered incorrectly um and so if you guys all answered them right if you had missed a few and i kind of wanted you to miss at least one i know teachers like to get them all right but if you had missed at least one you would have seen that you would have had an opportunity to re-answer that question um but it would show you here which one was the hardest and which one took the longest to answer and then it gives you an interesting fact like it shows the average time taken was eight seconds you can download the results here uh you can play the game again uh you also have this button here you can click to review the questions you can go over and exit so all of these options up at the top um this is something that you probably aren't going to show your class but you could scroll down here to the overview and this is where you can look and this report stays in quizzes so even once you x out of this game i'll show you when you go back to your main page for your account you can click on reports and you'll still be able to see this information so like i said all of you guys did anybody miss any okay so if any if someone had missed one um you could go through and you would see which questions um they missed so then you can also click on an individual student and you would be so i i'm not going to be able to do it because you guys didn't miss any um so let me show you actually i'm going to exit out of this so i can show you a proper report um let me go into one okay so this is one that my students had done so you can see they had 83 percent accuracy uh seven out of 12 students completed it so it defaults to the players so you can see here it lists my students and it shows you you know the accuracy and what their scores so say i want to go down here and i want to find out which ones you know he missed you just click anywhere on this student and the red would be or the pink would be the ones that they missed uh and it tells you how many they got incorrect and you could scroll down and you can find out which ones this particular student missed and maybe find out what's going on with them if it's a consistent problem right um so you can do it that way when you're finished looking at this student you just click anywhere and it'll take you back to the report by players if you want to find out maybe you know which questions are tripping up you just click the questions tab and you can go through and it's a really nice visual right the charts you've got this one shows you only 14 percent missed it but look at this one you know almost 30 percent missed this particular one so you realize hey everybody remember consider uses a jaren or whatever you can see the ones that are easy and so forth um which is a really nice feature and then you have kind of an overview where you can look at the students and then it has the students and then also by question which is nice to kind of show you you know maybe on this one that three people missed and when you hover it shows you the question so i really like this one for the uh for the reports that it gives them because the reports stay on your account you don't lose them standards applies more for like math and other k through 12 things that but we don't you know have a standards that we can really apply or that or i don't anyway for for esl but that is your reports tab for all of the ones that you've played i mentioned earlier you can create a class and it makes it easier the classes tab is right here all you do you can either so it mine has update google classroom what it normally says is import google classroom and you click that and it will bring over your students from there or you can click here and create a class are students able to view a personal report so they can see how they did or are the reports only for teachers that is an excellent question um yeah you can email it to them yeah so it says email to parent but it's because it's a k through 12 thing so the parents email is their email so yeah you could email it to them so that may be the only way for them to get it i don't know if if they would just have access to it what i do is i have it in google classroom um and so the scores are posted in google classroom but not this type of report where it shows each individual question okay so the last one the reason why i just did it last is because i'm sure most of you are familiar with kahoot you've you know heard of it i think it's one of the first ones i use for sure um within kahoot so this would be you know the home page here with my account and by the way everyone gets a premium account right now so there are some really nice features i don't know how long it'll go after the quarantine but um i have a premium account now um if you go into kahoot the the problem with this one is if they only have one device meaning a phone if they only have a phone which is pretty common they are not able to play kahoot live you would have to assign what they call a kahoot challenge and that's where they you know do a self-paced game in order to play kahoot live they are going to need either a laptop or they need two devices so they can have a cell phone which is fine but they are going to need to have either an ipad or a chromebook or something open the reason being is that um in the meeting itself the zoom or google meet um on your screen when you go into kahoot it will show the questions and then it will show the answered choices um because kahoot is for the most part it's multiple choice but they do have different types of questions that you can um that you can put in um but the answers go by color and shape so you know red triangle blue circle etc and what they do when they play when they log into play all they are doing is matching the color but they don't have the answer if it's only on their phone so for example on the laptop they see the question and then they see the answer choices well if the answer choice is red then all they do is you know click that corresponding color on their phone um but if they only have a phone they haven't come up with a way for you to play it um live anyway if they have an ipad um they have a way on the ipad where they can have the meeting open and then you just go at the bottom and i'm going to show you because they just came up someone just did a video on this you can see it even says new um but it shows how they can play on one device not a phone but it shows how you can do split screen on a chromebook or any laptop and that's where you just have you know you minimize your window and you split the screen so for example if i minimize this and then i bring my google classroom over and i don't know if that was too fast for you i can be happy to do that again but you just go up here and you minimize the size of the main window and then you just click on whatever tab you want and you drag it so say for example this is my uh my meeting and this is what i'm going to play on and i'll do that actually um for the game so you can see uh what it looks like when we play kahoot if you have a uh if you're playing on a laptop you can do it on an ipad and it shows on the ipad you do the slide over function and i'll just okay so that was a nice visual i'll be it pretty fast um but basically on the on the the the laptop you see you just minimize it if you're on the ipad then once you're in the meeting you just hover your um you know go down to the bottom and bring up your um another window or you bring up whatever the the kahoot app actually that or you'd have to open up safari or if you're on some other kind of a uh tablet you do that but that is the only way to play kahoot live um at the moment so any questions be oh actually i have to log in give me one second okay i'm back in my account so when you are on the main page and i hope everybody can see this let me minimize this my screen's a little bigger for you so when you're in your kahoot which is you know again free you just click on your kahoot whichever one you want to play so let's go ahead and do jaren's and i'll click on it you just click on whichever one it is you also could click i'm sorry i've got too many things open you could click play from that um but if you want to go in and take a look at anything you're you're able to do that if not um click play here as well so a couple different ways to click play then you would choose the way you want to play it so remember that for the self-paced you would click assign and then you can assign it in google classroom etc but it shows you here for virtual classrooms you're in a teaching mode so play a live game together over video so i'm going to click teach and then you have your game options um so team versus team that would be shared devices where you know you have three students together so this is going to be a classic right because your students are not together um then for your game options um you can give them the option to practice difficult questions after the live game if you want it to do that it can also they all give you the option to you know for the computer to pick the name if you're having an issue with them picking inappropriate ones you can change the you know the type of music or something that is being played you can randomize the order of questions and answers if you want to do that but most of the time i don't i don't click any of these you can have it where it automatically moves through questions instead of showing the leaderboard um but i usually leave the leaderboard in there it adds to the competitiveness so you want to go ahead and click classic and then ready to join gives them right here and they would just go to kahoot it or the app and type in the game pin and as far as i know kahoot doesn't make you enter any information you just go to kahoot and unless they've changed it uh once you go here you just type in your game pin and you're you're set so over here so if you are going to play for your students they're going to have to do this with the split screen and they'll go to kahoot play kahoot which is enter game pin here and this same game pin i'm going to enter here enter enter the nickname and hit okay go and i should pop up over here i did i'm right here and now i'm in so this way they can see the questions on this screen and the possible answers and then the corresponding you know buttons over here that they would click okay we've got 31 in um with kahoot you would not be able to join after either so we'll maybe when we get to 40 we'll go ahead and click start i guess since you guys are joining pretty quickly okay we're at 40 oh and we're going i'm going to go ahead and uh click start so you can see this is what it would look like for them on their phone so you see they don't get the question so here's your time countdown one second and then it shows you how many got the question right how many got it wrong if you want to take time and review after each particular question you can and then for your student they're going to see over here that they got it right the number of points and then the place that they're in okay you have to manually click next if you've said it that way now we have again our our leaderboard you have the option to end the quiz here or to keep going so now we have our next question so for my students i have you know quite a few seconds on here because there's still some mastering keys um but you can have it set for 10 seconds just depending on uh but it's just going to give us a summary at the end i can end the game and it would show it but there are 20 questions here i'll go ahead and end the game here so it's going to show the podium this is what you would get at the end shows who came in third but this is new the graphics are new okay i like it drum roll Maria again and then it gives you runners up which is nice it didn't give that information before so now with this one you don't really get the uh um you know the report like you get in quizzes so here's the report you'll see it's a little different unless they've updated it they've been doing a lot of updates to these sites so i wouldn't be surprised okay so since no one missed anything i don't know what it would really show here it has a similar graph um but you can see the reports are much more detailed in quizzes by student with this one it's just you know how many they got right um and then by each question the percentage they got right but not who got what right and then here's another graph so that would be it all right i know that was kind of rushed on that but any any final questions anything i can answer i was just a question you know you've shown us three different um apps today so kind of in general how long do you find is a take to actually create a game or an activity in any one of these so it really depends on what you're teaching um what i normally do is pull from um from the textbooks i use like for the grammar i pull from the azar grammar um or for the reading i pulled from the password book that i was using um it depends if you want to add um any kind of you know image or anything then that might be a little more you know time consuming to get those pictures in um but if you're concerned with time what you want to do all of these quizzes uh quizlet and kahoot they all have a database of teacher created you know uh you know assignments varied some that have just audio prompts and other things at all levels and you can just go in and find one that someone has already made and you can look at it you can see what the answers are before you assign it to your students and that cuts down on the time and then if you find well i don't like this question you can do a you can start by doing a few edits i've been doing it so long i probably can create one in about 30 minutes from start to finish but i've been doing it a while i'm very comfortable with the technology and and everything and i have a lot of things saved already um but i would say in the beginning just take other people's you know work and you know and make it your own or use it as is until you get um you know more comfortable but you know maybe 30 minutes to an hour depending on what i'm planning to make from the time i created to assigning it in uh in google classroom okay ross thank you so much um for all this and you're getting a lot of good feedback in the chat um thank you for the presentation um people had fun doing the activities today so thank you for showing us that thank you guys so much for coming i appreciate it
