Quizizz

I found what seems to be a "knock off" of Kahoot.  The reason I am mentioning it is that it seems to allow students to see the question on their device, which Kahoot does not.  I like Kahoot the most, however, I think this could be something kids could play at home as a review if that is something you might be interested in.

Flipping with Pedigrees & Karyotypes

Upon entering this class I have been performing a flipped lesson for past several years on pedigrees and karyotypes. The goal for the students is to learn how do read pedigrees and karyotypes and be able to create or analyze information related to pedigrees and karyotypes. Below I describe the lesson and provide documents that you can use to adapt for your classroom use.

Lesson Outline:

• Use the following sites for student to take notes about pedigrees and karyotypes. Pedigree & Karyotype Notes
• Pedigree: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/addiction/pi/
• Karyotype: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/chromosomes/ (use the three pages located under karyotype title)
• Pedigree Activities & Labs
• Pedigree Investigator
• What's your family health story
• Karyotype Activities & Labs
•  Making Karyotypes
• Genetic Disorders
• Genetic Disorder Project

Snagit (TechSmith extension for Google Chrome)

I just found this and don't know if anyone else has seen/messed with it any.  It is an extension for Google Chrome from the folks at TechSmith (they make Camtasia).  Anyway, this is a free extension that will allow you to capture the screen and microphone if you add it to Chrome.  It is free and I'm reading some pretty good reviews from those more experienced than I.  I will say if it is from TechSmith it is likely to be pretty good as I am kind of a fanboy of theirs.

Thought I'd add yet another tool to our ever expanding utility belt.
