Innovative Use
#1

https://classkick.com

Pricing: Annual Subscription based with a free option.

Intended Use: The #1 driver of student learning and development is great feedback. We built Classkick to
eliminate barriers and make sure students can get the help they need–when they need it.

Ways you can see it fitting into the K-12 curriculum: Classkick is option to create Realtime classwork with
other classmates, online. You can work on your assignment while seeing other kids do their same
assignment. It promotes helping and better understanding of what to be. It also makes it efficient for
teachers to give feedback as you are doing you work. This website is amazing because it can be used
regardless of age group since they just upload what ever assignment is appropriate for that time!

https://help.seesaw.me/hc/en-us

Pricing:Free

Intended Use: Seesaw is a platform for student engagement that inspires students of all ages to do their
best, and saves teachers time! Students use creative tools to take pictures, draw, record videos and more
to capture learning in a portfolio. Teachers find or create activities to share with students.

Ways you can see it fitting into the K-12 curriculum: Teachers can use Seesaw for formative assessment
and can tag their students' posts with their own set of Skills or standards! Optionally, teachers can assign
a simple star rating to student work to get a real-time understanding of how students are progressing
towards key curriculum objectives, inform instruction, and save time on reporting

Innovative Use #3

https://myshakespeare.com/

Pricing: Free

Intended Use: The essence of myShakespeare is similar to the No Fear Shakespeare book set. Shakespeare is a
very difficult topic for many kids, and this website aims to translate the Bard's works into modern day English as
well as offer in question and interviews with actors, performances, and pop up notes.

Ways you can see it fitting into the K-12 curriculum: I believe that for an English teacher, this would turn an
otherwise stale and boring reading of a famous play such as Macbeth or Midsummer Night into an amazingly
inclusive story that kids can truly become immersed in. The ability to hear the actors thoughts, as well as read an
onscreen translation and watch the scenes acted out truly appeal to every learning style, and if I become an
English teacher, I would most certainly use this software, as it could do amazing things for my kids comprehension
of the Bard.

Innovative Use #4

https://www.baamboozle.com/
Pricing: Free
Intended Use: Baamboozle is a web-based tool for creating fun and engaging games. As we all know,
games serve an essential purpose in classrooms. They promote the idea that learning is fun, and they
enable teachers to reinforce concepts and involve all student in the learning process.
Ways you can see it fitting into the K-12 curriculum: This is a great way for students to play games an
compete by playing games against each other and are learning at the same time. Students love to
move outside the box when it comes to learning and this checks that box. They can use it as a resource
for gaining knowledge or they can make their own game.

Innovative Use #5

https://prezi.com/?click_so curce=logged_element&page_location=header&element_type=logo

Price: Standard: $5 monthly - Plus: $15 monthly - Premium $19 monthly

Intended Use: With the emergence of the hybrid workplace, we’ve focused our energy on Prezi Video, the first and only
tool that lets anyone create professional-looking video presentations featuring their graphics on the screen with them
while they present in live video conferences or recorded, shareable videos.
Ways you can see it fitting into the K-12 curriculum: Prezi can be used by both students and teachers. Teachers can
use Prezi to present materials in a fun yet informative way. It could also be used by the students to make presentations
and entertain their own classmates. I have used Prezi on many occasions, and so far, I have not had a problem with it,
and I always have so much fun using it. I think it’s important that as a teacher knowing how to use Prezi, passing it on
to the students will be easier to learn how to use.

Innovative Use #6

https://www.spellingcity.com/

Price: Free

Intended Use: VocabularySpellingCity was initially created to save teachers time by automating spelling
practice tests and to empower students to study independently through engaging game-based learning
activities. Now part of the LearningCity® family of education technology products, nearly a decade later,
VocabularySpellingCity has expanded to include a wide variety of study tools for developing strong
vocabulary skills and best practices for effective vocabulary word instruction. Research has proven that
these are key factors in improved reading fluency and comprehension.

How it fits: This would work very well to help students develop their vocabulary and spelling skills. The
software is interactive, giving students the ability to edit an avatar when they do well. They have many
games to make spelling and reading more fun. When I was in school I loved to do games online. It made
learning more fun and helped me develop new skills.

https://www.bitmoji.com
Price: Free product
Intended Use: Bitmoji is your own personal emoji. Create an expressive cartoon avatar, choose from a
growing library of moods and stickers - featuring YOU!
Ways you can see it fitting into the K-12 curriculum: Bitmoji would be a great product to use for students
between 4th and 5th grade. This would give the students a sense of being able to express themselves
and how they would want to look. This will give the students their own unique individuality as well as
showing off their creativity and expressive side. I believe that Bitmoji would be something that could used
as an art project to either get to create themselves or have a chance to create their teachers in a funny
way or even make up a character to write a story about.

https://www.desmos.com/

Price: Free

Intended Use: Desmos wants to build a world where every student learns math and loves learning math,
where a student’s access to the power and beauty of math doesn't depend on their place of birth, race,

help me draw graphs. It was super helpful and made my math class a lot easier. I can see myself using
desmos in the classroom by allowing students to check their graphs through desmos. Desmos is amazing
when it comes to checking your work. It can also be used for different areas in math since it has multiple
types of calculators.
