ABOUT CLASSKICK
Classkick is a one-of-a-kind interactive classroom learning experience. Mr. Hoffman had a special idea around 2013 and the technology caught up around 2017. Since then, his students have been using Classkick in his 6th grade math class (and often times from home by choice) to write their math work on their computer screen at their desk, and Mr. Hoffman can see each student's screen with their writing, their thinking, as well as interact and help them in real time, from his computer.

Once in a while something special comes along in the math classroom that uses educational technology in a way teachers only once dreamed about. This is Classkick (https://classkick.com).
Help Students Privately
This break-through technology allows students in a 1:1 Chromebook environment in our math classroom to draw their math answers and explanations and show their thinking. In addition they can get help through real time feedback in order to promote maximum learning and math growth. Click HERE to watch a short intro video about Classkick.
Formatively Asses
Classkick is a formative assessment tool. You do not have to wait until a quiz or go through a student’s homework to see what they know. I observe and help them individually while giving immediate feedback for immediate improvement.
Seeing Student's Screens
As the teacher I can see each student’s screen and their live math work as they do it, give feedback that appears on their screen and help them without anyone knowing. Students can work at their own pace in my math class raising a yellow or green hand or Classkick can be used for notes instantly in front of them.
