Kahoot Premium Free - Christina Ong

In case you missed it, Kahoot Premium is free at the moment.  It allows you to use a lot more features and less restrictions on numbers of students etc.  Access is available until the end of the US school year.

Apple Airpods - John Tomlin

Using Apple Airpods for your audio ?. Because your laptop has Bluetooth you can pair your wireless Apple Airpods to use them for audio, speakers and microphone. This gives you some mobility to move around the room and continue the conversation. Likely you will be able to make a coffee in the kitchen and not miss a word. Reply if you need help pairing but essentially it's "add new bluetooth device" hold pairing button down until "headphone" appears then connect. It should then display the name of your Airpods. Test the sound quality with each other as likely it will be much better than laptop and allow you to move your head without voice voice fading away.
