Dickinson Independent School District

Barber MS students in Laura Teatsworth’s classes have been effectively using gaming technology in their instruction as an end-of-year review activity. Many have been using Kahoot, Quizizz, Quizlet, and even Formative to do the same - but Blooket is a new take on trivia and review games.

A teacher/host picks a question set and a unique game mode. Then players join the game on their own devices with a code. Once the game starts, players will answer questions to help them win. That’s where the fun begins; a variety of games are offered to keep students engaged and excited.

How do I get a blank line between lines?	Hold down the SHIFT key while hitting the Enter Key twice.
How do I add an image?	Use either the Image Widget or the Image Manager icon from the toolbar. (Refer to pages 83-88 and 111 in the user's manual.)
Why do I not see what I just typed and published?	You MUST click "Save Changes" when using the text editor before publishing.
How do I get two columns?	Choose the 2-Col Layout. Then put in a Text Editor widget for text or an Image widget for an image. (Refer to page 16 in the user's manual.)
Can I get different font faces than what is supplied?	No. But the work around would be to create an image with the text and font face you want and then upload the image.
How do I get my link to open in a new window and not exit my website?	When you are creating your links be sure to set TARGET as NEW WINDOW in the link settings. (Refer to image on page 112 in the user's manual.)
Why do I get a "server/application" error message after I publish my page and try to view it outside my editor?	Be sure when you created and named your page that you did NOT inadvertently add a blank space at the end of the page name. Check in the page properties for the page in your project manager. Correct as needed and republish as needed.
Can I reorder my Quicklinks?	Yes! Click on the 3 lines (edit this menu) to the left of the settings gear for the Quicklinks. Click and drag the menu item to the location you want for it. Be sure you drop it in the correct location depending upon whether or not it is a main item or a sub item.
