Solving Double Step Equations

     My co-op asked me to create a Blooket on solving two step equations with only one variable.  Blooket is a fun way to keep students engaged by using Blooket's many tools and features.  The gaming tool has a variety of game types you can use for your set of questions.  It allows you to control the amount of time given for each question in your set, but if the student answers faster than the allotted time they can move to the next question.  Another cool feature of Blooket is that you can import a quizlet for your questions, instead of writing brand new ones.

     Blooket relates nicely to Danielson's domain 3c, "Using Questioning and Discussion Techniques," because it poses questions that the students have to answer within a certain time frame in order to get the question right.  It also relates well to domain 4a, "Reflecting on Teaching," because as the student move through the Blooket you as the teacher can see which type of question your students are missing the most.  Then after the Blooket is completed, you can go back and review how to make your lesson plan for that topic more thorough.  

     In my future classroom, I can see myself making use of this tech tool.  Blooket is an easy way to reflect on how well students learned from a lesson and how much they retained from the information that was presented to them.  It also allows for student to have some fun when review for a test or quiz.

     This activity also ties in well with ISTE standard 1.1, 'Empowered Learner.'  A lot of these tech tools place a lot of emphasis on student participation, especially ones like these.  This tool also ties in well with Danielson's domain 4c, 'Communicating with Families.'  After this activity, you as the teacher will know where each student stand with the materials presented in class.  You can then take this knowledge and report to the students' families where their child is with the material.
