DimensionU

DimensionU is a wonderful site/company that creates educational games aligned to Common Core Standards for Math & Literacy.  These games take plays in a 3D multiplayer virtual world and are designed for grades 3rd-8th.

Below are some of their innovative games....

Meltdown is the DimensionU game that offers students
a second chance when answering difficult questions, and rewards
creative strategies to achieve victory.

Swarm is DimensionU's team-based game that most strongly
reinforces cooperation and collaboration between students to
achieve a common goal.

Towerstorm is the DimensionU game that is best for working
through the most curriculum in the shortest amount of time.

Velocity is DimensionU's high-speed obstacle course that
ensures players answer questions correctly in order to continue
progressing through the race.

Curriculet

Curriculet is an innovative new site that reminds me of EDpuzzle but for books.  This site allows educators to purchase any digital book and turn it into a lesson.  The way this works is an educator selects a book and then adds different types of media (i.e. questions, quiz, video) to create a lesson for students.  Once the lesson is completed a teacher gets instant real-time feedback to assess student's learning.  This is also a great way for educators to track Common Core Literacy Standards and "flip" their classroom.

Kindoma Storytimer

Kindoma Storytime is an interesting iOS app that combines "story time" w/ video chat to allow others to read a digital book together.  This is really good when wanting to read a story w/ another who is not around (i.e. child, student, etc).  The books can be selected by Reading and then are synced together so when a page is turned it does it on both devices.  Another great feature is the ability to point or highlight words so that the other person can see what is going on in real time.  For example, it's a great way to access student comprehension by having them point to items in the book.
