    Ep 36 Classkick: See Student Thinking in Real Time

    What if you could see what every student is thinking while they work, not after the assessment when it's too late to help? In this episode, Classkick coach Savannah Creasman (host of the Mamas in EdTech podcast) gives us a full live demo of Classkick, the free interactive learning platform that lets teachers watch student work in real time, give instant written and audio feedback, and auto-grade along the way. We cover low-tech and high-tech ways to make student thinking visible, from physical whiteboards and small groups to Classkick's real-time View Work screen. Plus, get a first look at Classkick's new AI features (AI Create and Student Helper) rolling out for back to school. Aaron and Desmond even hop in as students so you can see exactly what the teacher and student experience looks like, including an audio spelling test that Savannah made in Classkick. 🔔 Subscribe so you never miss an episode: https://www.youtube.com/@EdTechUnpacked ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Welcome + meet Savannah Creasman 3:38 Get-to-know-you: what teachers look forward to most in summer 6:20 What is "visualized thinking" and why it matters 7:30 Low-tech options: small groups & whiteboards everywhere 11:31 Unpack the Tech: what is Classkick? 13:00 Planning lessons in Classkick (start with your standards, not the tool) 14:41 New AI features: AI Create + Student Helper (beta) 16:16 Creating assignments: Google Drive import, PDFs & the assignment library 22:12 Grading, Google Sheets export & syncing with Google Classroom, Clever, ClassLink 23:48 Live demo: Aaron & Desmond become students 33:56 Giving feedback: text, audio recordings, stickers & GIFs 36:42 The self-paced audio spelling test (Savannah's favorite feature) 40:30 Who is Classkick right for?
