What if we gave younger students more credit instead of just assuming they don't know what you're trying to teach them? Especially with technology since it is such a huge part of our world now.

Report Comments Bank is a Google extension app for educators. The app helps teachers shorten the amount of time to write progress reports and it allows teachers to create, save and edit reports throughout the year. Being able to save the reports throughout the year also saves teachers hours from creating end of the year reports. The app is quick and easy to learn and saves teachers a lot of time from writing report cards. This app would be helpful for us because it would help future educators complete reports on time and also have more time to create lesson plans. Reviewers rate this app with five stars for how convenient and how easy it is to use.

This looks like a great extension. Teachers time seems to always be stretched very thin. By helping teachers save more time they can put more time into classroom lessons and activities. I agree that this is a beneficial extension for any teacher.

Wow, that's extremely useful in many ways! Of course any way to save time for a teacher is key. But this also gives the teacher an easy way to track progress of individual students, and really see what areas they shine or need an extra push in. I could also see this as a great way to pass a student off to the next grade level. Upon the new school year, it would be great to give a comprehensive report of the students prior year to each teacher they are starting with. This way, if the student is experiencing the same struggles, there might be a different solution the new teacher can use, or if something worked in the past they could try that method again!

This article is an innovative solution to allowing students to work together and not worry about doing all the work and splitting the credit with other students who did much less. The strategy uses google drive as a way to monitor what gets done what student. In addition, groups are assigned a total number of points, divided evenly between all the students in a group.

It is effective. I agree.

I like the article. I can relate to the struggle of group work.

There are certain aspects when integrating technology and how teachers do not use it correctly. Technology should not be used to take away from the teachers lesson, but to help it. It also should not be used for students during their free time as entertainment. It should not be used as a subject of its own, but should be able to correlate with all subjects. Some teachers use it as a pencil, which is extremely expensive. It definitely should not be used as the answer to getting students involved in the lesson. Teachers need to form the correct habit when using technology.

This article shares some key ideas from Sharon Sakai-Miller, author of Innovation Age Learning: Empowering Students by Empowering Teachers. Her book proposes an educational shift from "acquiring knowledge to using it." Students need to learn how to become innovators in the workplace, to devise creative solutions and join the rising tide of "Makers."
