Hi, I'm a staff writer at The Atlantic magazine, and I'm working on a story about the rise of gamified ed tech tools like Blooket, Gimkit, and Prodigy in K-12 classrooms. I'm looking to speak with a few practicing K-12 teachers in U.S. public schools who've used these tools and have thoughts — positive or critical — about what they're actually doing in the classroom. If you're open to speaking and potentially being quoted by name, please message me on Reddit or e-mail me at woremus [at] theatlantic [dot] com. Thanks! submitted by /u/willoremus to r/AskTeachers [link] [comments]

Just wanted to let everyone know about an incident we had on this site today. A 4th grade student was able to find a page with adult content and racism. I brought it to GimKit attention and this was their response below. I currently have blocked the site and they did remove the content. Heads up though. Hi there, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This was created by a student who fraudulently signed up for an educator account. The kit has been removed and the account banned. I appreciate you bringing it to our attention for removal. In the future, emailing us the link or using the flag option is the best way to have content removed: Here is a list of individual domains that can be blocked by your network on student devices in case you want to lock their access down further. https://www.pexels.com if you'd like to prevent any images from pexels from showing. Please note this means that teachers will not be able to see the image library at all, and if they add images from pexels to kits the students will see a broken image icon. https://www.gimkit.com/host will prevent students from hosting games. https://www.gimkit.com/kits will prevent them from creating kits of their own. https://www.gimkit.com/creative will prevent students from accessing creative. https://www.gimkit.com/signup will prevent students from signing up for student accounts https://www.gimkit.com/login will prevent students from accessing accounts at all https://www.gimkit.com/discovery will prevent students from searching educator kits in Gimkit https://www.gimkit.com/view will prevent them from seeing kits even with a direct link. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help with anything at all. submitted by /u/GlobeIT to r/k12sysadmin [link] [comments]

I'm sitting here as a JH study hall supervisor (normally I teach Band) and I'm watching my 7th grade students "studying" with a GimKit assignment. My observation: they had to answer four questions, two of which they got wrong, which took about 30 seconds, and then they get to chase each other around for about 5-10 minutes. This does not look like studying at all to me. The only research articles I found online support the use of GimKit, but there's no way that this can be a good use of their time during study hall. Am I missing something here? How is GimKit a good study tool? submitted by /u/Outrageous-Permit372 to r/Teachers [link] [comments]

My classmate today had a Gimkit game in their presentation (cuz apparently u could do that) and they could not get more than 5 players in and had to do a random question set in Blooket. Most other presentations had Blooket in them. submitted by /u/Unable-Waltz6354 to r/gimkit [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I’m curious how teachers decide when it’s appropriate to use gamified tools like Blooket, or Gimkit in the classroom. A few questions I’d love your take on: When do you think these tools work best - review days, exit tickets, or something else? Why do your students seem to enjoy them so much? Is it just the competition, or do you think they actually end up understanding more? Are you personally okay using them often? Trying to understand the balance between fun and learning here. Would love to hear what’s working (or not working) in your classrooms. submitted by /u/Legitimate_Bed7070 to r/Teachers [link] [comments]

About two months ago I worked for an absolute tyrant of an administrator. Dude was terrible. (Terrible enough to warrant me writing in the apparent point of view of a 48-year-old teacher wishing he was sigma). But I digress. Before working for this school I was teaching 8th grade math, 4th grade math, or being an academic coach for the previous 18 or so years. I switched school primarily due to location. I found a school on the other side of the mountain I stare at nightly and figured it was a good match. Nope. This admin, we'll call him Pop n Fresh, shut me down every step of the way. I entered the school middle of the school year, with very rough kids, and my first day training the Academic Coach for the school (and district) trained us up on this Math/ELA/Anything you want gaming program called Gimkit. I understand that Gimkit isn't education in and of itself. It's simply a five-minute tool to find out of kids know the content, and it engages the kids greatly. My first day with students I saw their terrible behaviors (they ran two other teachers out of there, evidently), so I decided it was going to take a little bit of grace to get them to listen to me. I showed them Gimkit. They had popped open their chromebooks for no more than thirty seconds when TA (terrible Admin/PopnFresh) came in and shut it down instantly. He never assesses the situation. He just sees kids on hokey-looking activities as he literally pops in the classroom, bouncing around like he's on something. Anyway, this happened all the time. I would instruct for no more than eight minutes tops, and walk around and help them with concepts the best I could. I would be walking around, he would pop in and tell me to change something. Like clockwork. Every program or strategy or center-based activity I try to use to get the 7th graders motivated gets shut down instantly, and he finally says out loud "Teach Only what's on the Tests! Nothing more!!". Bet. I took this as an opportunity to enter some MC with a side of "I can't believe I'm here". I start going by the book 100%. Any time a student asks "Why do we do it like this?" when we are working on surface area and volume, I only say "That's not on the test". Any time I, naturally, find an urge to find a connection to other standards, I stop myself. It's not on the test. Over a short amount of time, students are frustrated and sitting there yawning. It pains me greatly, so I decide to only apply my MC when good 'ol Pop n Fresh pops his way back into my classroom. He finally pops in with his boss, his boss' boss, and a couple of people I've never seen before. I instantly switch from my "going deeper, thinking outside the box, activity-based learning" to exactly what he wants: Teaching only what's on the test. I instantly turn into Ben Stein from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and the kids instantly groan, saying "Mr. OP I hate when you teach us like this!!" Comments from the students fly about the room "this is the worst part of my day", "I hate Math now thanks", and many much more colorful, expletive-laden commentary. Frank Caliendo even popped in for a spell "Now here's a guy who doesn't know how to motivate students. Boom!" Pop n Fresh even doubled down on his usual banter, putting on a show for his crew of bosses "These kids seem highly UNmotivated OP, we need to meet about this if you can't get them engaged..." I interjected "You said to only teach what's on the Test, so that's what I'm doing. ONLY what's on the Test, right? Like if they wanted to know why this happens or that happens, or how to solve this a different way, that's not on the test, right? You told me just to "Be up and Be teaching and never have them on their chromebooks", right?" I said this to him, in definite earshot of his accompanying party, mainly because I had a feeling these were the head honchos. The ones who signed off on spending all that money to make our school a true One-to-One school. A school where every student has a chromebook. Not utilizing the chromebooks is something I knew that was something Pop n Fresh believed in, but I had a feeling that the district would want the kids properly utilizing them. He answered back to me "I only stopped you from using the chromebooks because the kids were all just playing games" The students interject then "It's a Math game!". The Head Honcho moved to Interjection City "well let's see what this Math Game" is all about. I had the kids get their chromebooks. They all excitedly logged on, I pulled up a Surface Area and Volume Gimkit, and the kids were feverishly playing the game, using pencils and notebooks to solve the problems needed to be answered to gain "ammunition" in their game. It was active. It was fun for all. I paused the game when needed to show different ways to isolate the variable when solving surface area problems (especially of spheres and cones, etc.). It was what education was supposed to be. Pop n Fresh ran out of pop, and by the end of the day I received an email from the Head Honcho himself asking me about him, and how things were going. I was honest with him. I told him about his assaults, threats of assaults, and hiding assaults. All things that I'm sure would be an interesting part of this tale, but they aren't related to the MC inherent here. It's also an ongoing investigation, even two months later as I'm teaching at a new school on the other side of the proverbial mountain. Pop n Fresh is under investigation for what's he's been doing to me and other new teachers (to the school), and it's crawling all the way up the chain. Updates to follow. submitted by /u/Ancient_Educator_76 to r/MaliciousCompliance [link] [comments]

I know that it says 8:27 but that’s because you could get a speed boost at the beginning of summit 1 (usually I do 1-2 attempts before moving on, and I tend to get more energy than necessary to be safe). This run wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be but it still took time. My splits were 1:14-0:41-1:17-1:11-0:57-2:39. S1 is 2 seconds away from my PB, S2 is TIED with my PB, I failed the S3 cut but somehow got a new PB on that summit. That was my first “mistake”. S4 I messed up once but decided to keep the run going. S5 I slowed down before the shortcut, and S6 I got incredibly lucky with the last laser. If I jumped one or two frames early my run would’ve been over. I will continue to try to get this down as much as possible as this run is still far from perfect. submitted by /u/MK8dR to r/gimkit [link] [comments]
