Rethinking Kahoot and Blooket - with MARCIE SAMAYOA
🔥 Are Kahoot and Blooket the best ways for students to review content?
🔥 How can we build fluency, literacy, and thinking skills in the science classroom?
🔥 What’s the role of pencils and paper in the classroom of 2025?
Welcome back to another episode of the Teachers on Fire Podcast, airing live on YouTube most Saturday mornings at 8am Pacific, 11am Eastern. My name is Tim Cavey, and my mission here is to warm your heart, spark your thinking, and ignite your professional practice.
Today’s Teacher on Fire is Marcie Samayoa. Marcie is a high school chemistry teacher from Los Angeles, California with ten years of experience in the classroom. Through her blog, Scientists in the Making, she shares evidence-based teaching strategies that connect cognitive science to instructional practices.
