Isn't it funny, one week everything is OK, and the next week, we're all online, kids and adults alike, students, parents and teachers, looking for guidance and support in a new environment. And once you get used to teaching adults, boom! now, go and switch your younger students online!
And you know what? You can do that!
3 no-prep ideas for RPG dice in the classroom
Today I want to share three very easy ideas you can use in your classroom. You will only need a set of dice, something to write on (and with) and a bunch of students who want to have fun.

Back to Basics: ClassroomScreen for IWB

Quizizz: making tests fun (+ activity ideas)
You must have heard of Quizlet and Kahoot!, but today I want to share my favourite quiz-making application: Quizizz. Apart from a name (try remembering which z is doubled!), this tool is not only useful and easy to grasp, but also fun to use, both for teachers and students. Quizizz allows people to create and use one another’s multiple-choice quizzes, so they can be used live as a form of classroom competition, or as homework.
