Create a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Game with MagicSchool

I saw this idea in Brian Buffington's newsletter, Buff Nuggets, and in MagicSchool's newsletter. I had to try it out! It took me just minutes to create a test prep game for South Carolina's Algebra I EOC exam. I was even able to add our state's printable standards and sample questions to the parameters by attaching PDF documents. I asked a math teacher friend to check out the game, and he was a fan.

Google released a Chromebook app designed to "make the most of class time." It allows teachers to lock student devices entirely, provide access only to shared resources, or allow unrestricted access to all apps on the device. One of the most exciting features of this app is live captioning that is translatable. I appreciate the app's simplicity and think it is a great alternative to other options designed to manage student use of Chromebooks. This app requires both teachers and students to use ChromeOS devices that are updated to version 137 or higher. Paid access to Google Education is required.
