Duolingo, the free, wildly popular language app, is taking its zero-ad, gamification approach to learning into the classroom today, with the launch of a new platform called Duolingo for Schools. Launched in 2012, Duolingo offers reading, listening, speaking and writing exercises split into different lessons ("skills") and levels (if you get a certain number wrong in a given level, you lose a life). Good example of how free app available on line are helping to solve the financial factor on developing countries and improving language learning.

If you're looking for some apps for your students to use to learn and practice their fractions skills.

I've used http;//www.codeacademy.com too and I know locally its used by secondary schools to teach coding for students. Its a fantastic tool.

Great tool! It works on android tablets! I tried also http://scratch.mit.edu/ and http://snap.berkeley.edu/ but they works only on PC :(

This site is from a group of architects - Fielding Nair International - that have worked redesigning schools and learning spaces in different parts of the world. Many times we dream about a new type of education ... but the school physical space is not designed for those changes. I recommend to have a look at the many cases they publish in their site (it has been very inspiring for me).

This website, hosted by the Learning Technology Center in the College of Education at The University of Texas at Austin, is designed to be a central point of access to the wide range of research, projects, and other resources related to the use of mobile technologies in learning environments.

UDL Guidelines - Version 2.0: Examples and Resources. UDL provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone--not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs.

The Framework presents a holistic view of 21st century teaching and learning that combines a discrete focus on 21st century student outcomes (a blending of specific skills, content knowledge, expertise and literacies) with innovative support systems to help students master the multi-dimensional abilities required of them in the 21st century and beyond.

A project in South Africa to train teachers in a rural area to "teach with ICTs". Tablets were used. 21st Century skills training was modeled during the 10 training sessions which was spread out over 30 weeks. A tremedoes amount of learning took place. I participated in the sustainability modelling which included Total Cost of Ownership calculations. This showed that tablet replacement could be up to 50% of the yearly operations costs.

Plickers is a powerfully simple tool that lets teachers collect real-time formative assessment data without the need for student devices. I have already use it :) with it you can guide a great learning sessions for children and evaluate their learning also. :) Use it!!!

During the covid pandemic, when the classroom has been changed to virtual classrooms I have been using this site for creating quizzes and games in the class. This can be used to create content-based as well as fun games in the classroom.

Learning to code means stepping out of your comfort zone, dealing with frustration, and leaning into discomfort.

https://scratch.mit.edu/ I saw this website where children can animate few cartoons. It can work as a prelude to learn coding. Here coding is very simple like jump 4 times or move three steps.

It could be useful even in schools that teaches thinking skills classes.

This blog is designed to help teachers to introduce and develop the use of Games Based Learning in the classroom by discussing experiences with various grade levels. The Media, Presentations and Research tabs provide links to relevant research papers, videos and podcasts that may assist educators.

As a teacher we must be able to create fun and creative learning. One of the things that can be done is by using technology. We can utilize the sophistication of technology as a medium in delivering material in learning. One of them is making online practice questions using quizizz https://quizizz.com/login. How to use it is quite easy, you only need to create an account and you can already create practice questions. I think making practice questions fun with quizizz can help increase the motivation and enthusiasm of elementary school students. So we as teachers don't get tired of always creating interesting things. Thank you!

Edmodo is an easy way to get your students connected so they can safely collaborate, get and stay organized, and access assignments, grades, and school messages.

A great and safe tool to use with students, in my case due to the Quarantine situation, we had to move on to E-learning so quick with 7 - 8 years old students, the platform is ideally for older students but Edmodo helped a lot to keep a direct communication with students/parents in a safe online environment.

It is a great tool to bring the learner, teacher and parent all three community and make the learning happen in a wholesome way. Learners being able to work on feedforwards from the teachers and peer feedback can be implied here.
