    "Online teaching software for better education When we created FlipSnack a while ago, we had no idea it would become such a popular web tool for education. As teachers put their creativity to work in the classroom, we discovered more and more ways to use flipping books in schools. That's how FlipSnack Edu was born as a safe network for teachers and students, a fun way to do elearning, flip teaching or to use technology in the classroom in addition to classic methods. "

  • computers play an important role in helping students get their ideas down more easily, edit their work so they can see instant improvement, and share it with the class.
  • But Xavier is just shooting every target in sight. Over and over. Periodically, the game gives him a message: “Try again.” He tries again. “Even if he doesn’t get it right, it’s getting him to think quicker,”

  • Students in elementary school are not too young to benefit from 1:1 technology. Care must be taken, however, to ensure that the benefits of 1:1 are maximized for young students without taking away physical books, manipulatives, and opportunities for physical movement. 1:1 is all about students having ubiquitous access to technology when it is beneficial; it certainly does not mean that students will use technology for every single minute of their classroom experience.

  • The teacher's primary role is to help students understand particular subject matter. Everything else is secondary. Therefore, the focus of any computer-related professional development should not be on the technology itself, but on how computers can improve performance in these core areas of the teacher's "job."
  • This limited use may have multiple causes: Teachers may be overwhelmed by demands of testing; they may not see the value of instructional technologies in their particular content area; they may work in environments where principals do not understand or encourage technology use; and the types of software most helpful in instruction are not always the types of applications students know how—or want—to use.
  • job-related, focused on the core competencies of the classroom, not technology just enough, emphasizing increased comfort, not proficiency, with computers and management of limited technology resources just in time, meaning teacher are provided with skills as and when needed just in case teachers need to plan for contingencies accompanied by a "just try it" attitude, wherein instructors apply both pressure and support to compel teachers to use what they've learned.
