Plickers is a fantastic assessment app that I have used many times to poll my students, for exit cards or simple surveys, or even as a MUCH more fun (and quick) way to deliver (and mark) quizzes! Take a look at this brief video and keep scrolling for a more in-depth look at how I use it in my own classes.
We’ve got yet another great Canadian Kickstarter project for you! INKspire is aiming to set up an online community / forum for youth to address the MANY issues we all face in today’s modern society.
TeacherKit is a fantastic all-in-one administrative and organizational app for classroom teachers. With very intuitive and fluid controls any teacher can easily create, maintain and share all of their classroom details using one paperless method!
We are going to start our App Reviews with a very simple app. Math Fight lets you go head to head against another person/student to test, and improve, your math skills.

WELCOME BACK! The first week of school is over, and we’ve settled in… so it is time to get back to work on blog posts. I have a few posts coming this week, with some great DPA games and a few cool tools for any teacher.

Enjoy!

This is only a quick look at this innovative service, feel free to take your time with it on your own!
Poll Everywhere is a great tool that I have used in the past to get students (and fellow teachers) engaged in the lesson or presentation at hand. You can easily set up a multiple choice poll and get results as I did above.
Here is the TYPED VERSION of the Boogie Board Sync 9.7 ‘Teacher Review’ going word for word from the original version written only using the Sync 9.7 itself.
(*Statements made in this format are additions I made as I was typing out the review, things I forgot to add because I got sucked into the great writing experience on the Sync)

What is it?
The Boogie Board Sync 9.7 is an eWriter tablet with an LCD screen. As the name suggests, you can save and sync all of the notes you create on the 9.7 inch screen to any of your various devices or even your Evernote account.
