ZEP is a virtual space where members can move, speak, and interact with other community members and objects. ZEP allows subscribers to create virtual chatrooms that resemble real-life offices, classrooms, social gatherings, and businesses. Teachers can create virtual rooms, called spaces, using provided templates or create a room from scratch by starting with an empty map. Rooms can accommodate up to 20 people at a time. Members must be at least 14 years old to have an account, and it requires parental permission for minors. Zep does allow your space to be password protected, among other security settings, to create a safer online environment for your students.
tag(s): digital escapes (4), game based learning (171), quizzes (90)
In the Classroom
Zep is a fun interactive space with many possibilities for classroom use! Choose from several games for content review or brain breaks. Quiz Show is a survival game where players survive by correctly answering quiz questions from the room host (the teacher). Escape Room is a game where you solve puzzles, discover clues, and complete tasks to escape from the game's setting in a limited time. The OX Quiz is a game where you correctly answer questions as they appear to survive. Choose the correct side and last to the end! Teachers can enhance their digital classrooms by adding announcements and links, collaboration spaces, and personalizing their space. Another great way to utilize the digital space is to make locations that may be physically inaccessible available digitally.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

Earn an honorary "EAPS Scientist" certificate by completing activities provided by the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) at Purdue University. Participants watch videos on environmental science, space science, climate change science, atmospheric science, and geology. At the end of each series of videos, take a short quiz to receive a completion code. After earning all five codes, complete the form to earn your certificate. The videos are hosted on YouTube. If your district blocks YouTube, then they may not be viewable.

In the Classroom
Earn certificates as a class or challenge students to complete activities individually or in small groups. EAPS Scientist activity is available at all times, and most videos are approximately five minutes long, making it perfect to complete as a weekly supplemental science activity. Encourage students to participate by creating a chart with the names of all video activities and adding completion codes when finished. For example, create a Google Doc with a table with an area for adding completion codes. Underneath the table, create a heading for each video and ask students to share information they learned by watching it. In addition, add links for students to visit to learn more about each topic. Complete the document as a class, or create a collaborative document for older students. Extend learning by asking students to choose one topic to research, then use Canva Infographic Creator, reviewed here to create an interactive presentation.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot that allows members to have conversations that answer questions and assist with many tasks. Create an account using your email address, Google, or Microsoft account. Use the "Send a Message" box at the bottom of the page to type a chat request and click send. ChatGPT provides a response based on your input. Use the option to regenerate the request if you want to see different answers, or use the chat box to type in clarifying information to improve the response. Find your previous chats on the left side of the screen, and click any chat to edit, view, delete, or obtain a link to share. Always verify any information provided by ChatGPT before using it. This is an evolving tool, and many features change (or upgrade) on a regular basis.

In the Classroom
Use ChatGPT to increase your productivity and as a resource for finding classroom resources. For example, use the chat to find activities accompanying your current book study. An example question might be, "What are some activities to add to our study of Charlotte's Web in third grade?" Use a clarifying question to select one of the provided activities and ask for free online resources that support the provided response. This example includes several clarifying questions that provide additional ideas for books and activities to accompany Charlotte's. Ask ChatGPT to differentiate activities for students who need extra support or for those that need enrichment activities. Another use for ChatGPT is to write Student of the Week paragraphs; ask ChatGPT to write a paragraph including the student's name and accomplishments and revise the section to fit your needs.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
