365 Things to make you go hmm has nothing to do with the C&C Music Factory song. It is a resource from a site called Sparky Teaching that challenges students to think and respond to a question. 365 Things is a good warm up activity or or writing prompt. Students can leave their response on the website or teachers can display the question and have students respond at their desks on paper. Either way, 365 Things to make you go hmm is an good resource for any teacher to spark think, writing, or conversations within the classroom.

When I first discovered eQuiz Show, I knew I had to write about it on this blog. eQuiz Show allows you to create online Jeopardy style games which you can use in the classroom or students can play them from home to review. Creating the games is very easy and you can always edit them at any time. A password is required to edit any quiz so no other user can edit your quiz unless they have your password. Teachers, if you are looking for an engaging way to review with your students, then really should give eQuiz Show a try.

Hi Michael...
ReplyDeleteJust stumbled across this today (for "stumbled" read "was Googling myself"). Glad to see you like the 365 Things questions. Since you posted this, we rolled into 2014 and I deleted the previous 365. So, at the time of typing, there's about 42 questions on there, but steadily growing. It makes it more fun to delete them every year. Anyway, thanks for the mention - much appreciated.
