ClassroomQ: A Better Way to Ask and Manage Questions - Nick's Picks For Educational Tec... - 2 views

  • Teachers see an ordered list of student requests along with any optional comments that students may have provided. Simply clicking on a student’s name removes them from the list. A Better Workflow ClassroomQ can play an important role in the workflow of the student-centered classroom. Students requesting help no longer have to sit with their hands up, doing nothing for extended periods of time. Teachers can give their full attention to the student(s) they are working with, knowing that other students have been acknowledged. ClassroomQ Accounts Free accounts are limited to a maximum of five students in the queue at one time (which should be plenty for most classrooms). Paid accounts ($19.99/yr.) are unlimited and also offer the ability to view who has checked in to a class along, and the option to download data from each class session.

    "The ease of use and simplicity of design are what really make ClassroomQ stand out. After creating an account, teachers can start a class session with one click. "Students join the session by going to classroomq.com/students, enter their teacher's name and class code. They can then ask for assistance and will be added to the teacher's queue with the push of a button. They can also see how many students are ahead of them at any time."ClassroomQ Assistance Button "Teachers see an ordered list of student requests along with any optional comments that students may have provided. Simply clicking on a student's name removes them from the list." Looks like a cool solution -- but wouldn't working in groups be a help? T/h to Nick LaFave

The Easiest Way to Provide Effective Feedback - 4 views

  •  
    "Mote works through a Chrome extension that makes it easy for teachers to leave students voice-recorded feedback in Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, and Classroom. Students don't need the Mote extension or even an account to listen to recorded feedback. It's a real time-saver and a great way to provide effective feedback. " While Nick is right that voice annotation may be a good way to explain you thoughts on student writing, I think that MS Word has a voice annotation feature. And the written notes to students are still important if for nothing else than a reminder as the student re-writes. Mote requires uploading a document to Google Docs first, though that is no big deal. Worth a try, and Nick explains clearly how to run through the whole process.
