"Remind101 is a great web tool that provides teachers with a way to safely text message students and stay in touch with parents. You can send your Remind101 messages from your computer or phone. Remind101 apps for iPad, iPhone and Android are now available. One of the best things I like about this tool is the unanimity feature. Neither students nor teachers could see each others phone numbers"
"That app features interactive stories about endangered species around the world. The stories show you where the animals live and the threats facing them. If you and or your students don't have iPads, you can access similar information through WWF Wildfinder."
"Why Plickers:
It's fun, easy to use, and affordable.
It requires No Electronic Devices in students' hands - no laptops, tablets, remotes, cellphones, smartphones, or payphones.
No batteries to lose or replace, no expensive equipment to buy, no BYOD, and no one left out."

"instaGrok is an educational (re)search engine that lets students (any anyone else) research any topic in an engaging, visual way. instaGrok finds the best information on the topic and presents it as interactive concept map ("grok"), showing key facts, concepts and relationships, videos, images and more. Users can pin their favorite materials to their grok and take notes in the built-in journals."
"How it works:
Each student gets a unique barcode - a paper clicker.
Students answer questions by showing their barcodes to the teacher's smartphone.
The teacher gets a real-time bar graph and the data is stored individually by student."
