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
Thanks for sharing the information. Do you think Tickle is better than Scratch from using it yourself or just from the presentation? I want to get some 7th graders started on coding a game and will steer them to Tickle if you think it's better than Scratch from using it yourself. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou can sync Tickle to any bluetooth device and control it.
ReplyDeleteI signed up for Brightloop and I'm going to try using it instead of Confer. I found Confer to be limiting and this looks more customizable.
