iPads in Mathematics - 0 views

  • On the whole, there are too many apps focused on rote learning and simple number facts and equations. Having said that, I actually believe the iPad has much to offer teachers and students in Mathematics.
  • The good news from my perspective is that the iPad already is ready to replace textbooks and make Maths an engaging real world experience.
  • Whether you choose Explain Everything, ShowMe, Educreations or ScreenChomp (depending on price, features or usability), using these apps to record children’s learning is a killer feature of the iPad for me.

Behavior Management Software - ClassDojo - 0 views

    This is a great way to track student behavior (both positive and negative). The students have access, as well as the parents.

    I have started using it this week and really like it. The parents can get the free app and get instant feedback on their child's behavior. If the parents don't want the app, the website emails them when their child receives a mark (whether positive or negative). It also allows teachers to add comments when needed. Check it out!
