Please suggest another spin the wheel or dice roll option! The students absolutely love these options in class!

The idea that students can build their own wheels from content they are studying sounds like it really promotes ownership over the learning process. I wonder if using a more niche topic—say, just verb conjugations—might yield different kinds of interaction than general vocabulary?

I’ve used Wheeldecide before, but the resizing was always a bit fiddly. The idea of having students build their own wheels is something I hadn’t considered — that could really boost engagement in my French classes. Thanks for the detailed rundown!

I really like the idea of using a digital spinner to make language practice more fun. It’s a simple way to get students talking without pressure. Thanks for sharing this!

In reply to block blast. When people submit pieces for publication, we ask if they are a K-12 teacher or grad student and then consider any people that qualify for that.

The workshop on using AI to build educational games without coding sounds like a total game-changer for those of us who aren’t tech-savvy. I’m especially curious about how that Super Mario-themed PowerPoint turned out, as finding new ways to keep students engaged is always such a challenge. It’s great to see such a practical blend of pedagogy and creative technology at FLEAT 8.

Thank you for your detailed step-by-step instructions!
Do you know how to use a bar code for easy and fast check in and out of books on Librarything? Do I buy my own bar code scanner and bar code labels? If so what do you recommend?
