CRT Review!

Have you been wondering how to review with your students for the CRTs in a fun way? Here are the suggestions the Ed Tech and Media Tech teams came up with. Comment and let us know your fun ideas!

• UTIPS - Create tests on UTIPS for your class to take online. If you need help accessing your account, contact your school's Ed Tech. Click here for a pdf of basic UTIPS instructions.
  
• Clickers - Create tests with your SMART clicker software and have your class use the student response system to answer the questions with instant results. Visit the Canyons EMT site for tests that have already been created.
  
• Crossword Puzzles - Review vocabulary by having students complete a crossword puzzle containing key content words and definitions. Create your own crosswords and other puzzles, or have your students create their own, at Puzzlemaker.com.
  
• Podcast - Have the students create podcasts explaining a math formula or demonstrating a grammar concept. Have them perform and record a skit detailing a science concept. Be sure to set a time to allow the class to watch the podcasts. And be sure to share what you have created with your Ed Tech so we can share your podcasts on iTunesU.
  
• PowerPoint Games - Create PowerPoint games like Jeopardy, Who's Smarter Than a 5th Grader, and Hollywood Squares. Find templates for these games at PowerPoint Games.
• ComicLife - Have your students create a comic strip in ComicLife explaining a difficult curriculum concept.
  
• Science Around the World - Prepare science questions for your class and have two students at a time race each other to answer the questions. The student that answers correctly first stays to challenge the next student and earns a "gold coin" for their win. (Other variations: Spelling Baseball, Multiplication Football, etc.)
