Here is a great Ted Ed Lesson that is already flipped for you to share with your class on the topic: How did trains standardize time in the United States? by- William Heuisler. One of our teachers uses this video in the beginning of the school year when they discuss westward expansion. This is a great lesson because the kids can watch and answer questions and re-watch if needed to properly answer questions. It is also awesome for teachers because it  literally takes a couple of seconds to flip it as it is already designed with questions (and answers). Teachers can add more questions and/or delete questions as needed.  As always with Ted Ed, if the students use their login then the teacher can track the results.

Very cool website for teachers to gain quick access for understanding of material.  I love this website because Teachers can access the kahoot via the cloud.  That means they can create quizzes and/or surveys in the cloud no matter where they are located.  This website is a online Game Based Response system (comparable to Socrative).  It can be easily accessed by phones, tablets or pcs- all of which the student so badly want to use.  Once the quizzes/surveys are created the kids will receive instant feeback to the questions they answer.  They receive points for questions answered and more points for the student that answers with the correct answer the quickest.  Logging in is very simple, they can access the quizzes with a pin by visiting https://kahoot.it/#/ and/or they can also get a login to track their results. Check it out and let me know what you think!
