Classroom Management (SPED-friendly) Motivation (KAT) Engagement and Motivation DescriptionZiplet is an app-based platform that provides students and teachers with a space to ask and answer questions. Teachers can create a question for the class and choose to provide students with the space to post a private response or keep it open to collect and share all responses. It is helpful for quick formative assessments and to have access to real-time data to act upon in our classrooms. Using Ziplet, questions can be scheduled or asked live and it can also be used for posting an announcement.
