Great Guide!

This is a great app for the flipped classroom.

Free! METRYX is a formative assessment tool that allows teachers to "track, analyze, and differentiate" students across any number of customizable skill sets. Teachers can import class rosters and any number of skill sets via a CSV file, and then individually track students across each skill set as they perform various classroom activities. The granularity of these activities is completely at the discretion of the teacher, though Metryx appears especially useful for project-based learning, skills demonstration, and other activities where multiple-choice assessment data can't fully convey student progress. 

Answer Underground is an iOS education app that helps students learn by connecting them with study groups across the country. Teachers are able to create groups for their students to join and can customize the privacy settings for each group. The teacher can then verify the content shared and mark student answers as correct.   Push notifications give students and teachers the ability to see group activity in real time and get instant notifications when questions have been answered. The free app can improve peer communication as students help each other learn. 

Create and share presentations/screencasts/lessons, even annotate with this robust iOS app.
