Basically using Homework as learning...

If you're thinking about doing some gamification in your classes next year, I found a website that can help. FantasyClass is an opensource website ( Github ) that can help keep track of student points, XP, levels, and items. It can help your class tell a collective story together throughout the year.

I tried creating a post with an image in it. I got the following error message displayed in my browser:

{"data":{"files":null,"msg":"Too wide"},"state":"success"}

Is there something wrong with my image? I was trying to reupload this one from reddit: https://preview.redd.it/2jxm187wf4a81.png?width=11320&format=png&auto=webp&s=494d575dd3110b67b37b1c67afa9e713fd258a07

Should I try again after resizing?

Free website for science simulations and tools for teaching middle school and high school science.

Here's a tool that I haven't seen posted on here that I'm using in my class this year. It's a nonprofit owned tool (and not self promotion).

What I was looking for:

• I wanted something like Anki for individual student daily review. But I wanted a way to grade the quick practice (for the start of class). I also wanted a way to give them credit for doing their reviews in class or as homework.

Why I like it:

• I can make the cards
• Students get individual reviews based on how they did on that card in the past.
• Students can be given a grade for doing their reviews, no matter how they preform on them. (Making low stakes practice get points)
• Cards can be tied to standards

What I don't necessarily like:

• I have to make all cards (there is an AI tool, but I haven't gotten wide success with it)
• There's not a cloze type card (Multiple fill-in-the-blanks get converted to multiple cards)

Here's one of my favorite music videos. I think this fits the theme of this community, but please remove if you don't agree.

I've been playing The Case of the Golden Idol this week and I love how it doesn't pull punches and how I actually have to figure things out without a multiple choice quiz.

A rarely mentioned cute little puzzle game that you might like is called Carto.

What are your favorite mystery/puzzle games that don't spoon-feed you?

This is a favorite of mine.

As we wrap up the school year I've been thinking about gamifying my classroom next year. Does anyone have any experience with it?

I'm cruising this summer for the first time. Any tips/lifehacks that I should know about?

I have a TrueNAS scale NAS setup and I would like to host a matrix server. Do I have any options? Any particular implementation that I should go with? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Hey All!

I've been a longtime Doceri user and its lack of support (since January 2023) has finally bit me. It's time once again to find new software (and possibly hardware) to become a digital whiteboard.

Here's my current setup:

• Classroom Desktop Windows PC connected to a projector running Doceri and PowerPoint
• Apple iPad running Doceri
• Unused Apple TV connected to projector via another input

Here's my preferred requirements:

• Ability to annotate presentation docs / pdfs
• One time cost (in the hundreds are fine) preferred, but a low yearly/monthly cost (in the $50 range or less) is also acceptable
• The ability to walk around wirelessly
• The ability to record 20 - 60 minute videos (preferrably able to upload to YouTube)
• I would love to transition to an Android tablet with a stylus

Anyone have any suggestions that they've tried? I understand that I could screen record / screen share for the iPad, but I'm also looking for a new whiteboard app.
