Gimkit's Free Version is Now Worth a Second Look
What is Gimkit ? Gimkit is a highly interactive and engaging quiz-type game that will leave your students on the edge of their seats. Gimkit has always had a very limited free plan.

Responses Are Now Automatically Saved for Students in Google Forms
Some exciting news from Google Forms. When enabled Google Forms will save student progress for 30 days. In the past, I have seen students forced to copy and paste responses into a Google Doc so they could complete a form later. Often when working with students on digital breakouts they need to write down the correct responses so they can complete the form on their own time. Now students' responses will be saved automatically. For a student to find the draft they were working on they need to reopen the form using the same URL in the same Google Account they used to create the draft. Some caution around this feature: Students may try to submit the finished form after class when they are free to look up the answers.
