I recently started using a website Kahoot.it! It's pretty interactive site where you can create your own questions with multiple choice responses and allow smartphones to connect (like clickers) through a code.
One of my students asked me to share more about myself and that I should make a Kahoot about me. I thought this was a fantastic idea- so I wrote 5 questions about myself with multiple choice responses and 20 seconds per question. Students guessed my favorite food, where I went to school, my major, and my favorite class period (HINT: I chose all of them). There's also a leader board that shows who's winning. They get a kick out of that. Students don't often get to my class on time during the first period of the day. It got me thinking that this could be something to do at the very beginning of my Monday class. But instead of making them all about me, I asked students to volunteer to make a Kahoot about themselves. 5 questions at 20 seconds each. One student per week. This can really engage the classroom and make it feel more like a community. This is my first time doing this so I'll try to update with results on how it goes as the weeks go by.
