Imagine K-12 Educator Day

At the recent IK12 Educator Day, there were 16 companies that tried and represented themselves to show that they belong in this highly competitive market.  A few stood out to me, actually 13 of the 16 stood out.

Brightloop: a mass student observation tool that puts Confer to shame, and one of the many great qualities of Brightloop is that it is FREE!!

Chesscademy: A fun and easy way to learn chess

Educents: a place to buy the things you are already planning on buying for your classroom, but this way you can pay up to 90% less.

Edusight: smart, simple, gradebook!!

Mathchat: math collaboration via mobile device

Picolab: the tool Robert is using for our meetings!

Readworks: Have a book and need a lesson to go with it? Perfect site! Want to have the text and a related article handy? Perfect site! FREE, and non profit!

Smartestk12: Make any test, paper or not, managed through web browser.  Edit, create, get result live!

Tickle: Scratch but BETTER!

Trinket: Take coding and apply it to instruction
