1. Quizizz: I use Quizizz as a formative assessment for my classes, especially when closing my lessons, but you can use it for review sessions and homework. Quizizz is excellent for several reasons. First, it increases the engagement with students, allowing them to compete with each other while playing interactive games. Second, it gives feedback to students right away so students know how they did it, and it self-grades the quiz, making our teacher's life easier and simpler by generating data. Third, it caters to students' learning styles, and you can customize the questions to students' levels, multimedia elements, etc. Lastly, many games are ready and available for teachers to use where students can join the code. This is available through your personal account or work email if the school pays for it.

2. PowerPoint: I use PowerPoint as a daily agenda guide to help students know their learning objectives and what they are doing for the day. I also use it to provide notes on a topic they are learning. I try to use different colors, fonts, and designs to grab students' attention and keep them engaged.

3. Poll Everywhere: I use Poll Everywhere during my work periods the most. Poll Everywhere is an excellent tool for any content, just like Quizizz. Poll Everywhere is great with active participation and keeps students actively participating with live polls, quizzes, and surveys. Like the previous two tech tools, Poll Everywhere can be accessed through anything as long you have an internet connection. Poll Everywhere can be suitable for students who fear questions wrong because they anonymously submit their responses. It also has visual elements such as images and clouds to help understand and learn better.
