The Maestro Recommends/Understoodit - Measure Students' Understanding in Real-Time

Understoodit - Measure Students' Understanding in Real-Time

"The Problem

During lectures, it's hard for every student to let you know if they understand or if they're confused. Especially in large classes, many students are reluctant to express their confusion which limits both their learning and their enjoyment.
The Solution

Understoodit addresses this issue by allowing students to anonymously, and in real-time, indicate if they understand or are confused. Understoodit runs on devices that you and your students already own: smartphones, tablets, netbooks and notebooks.
For Teachers

Why wait until evaluations at the end of the term to find out if your students were confused? With understoodit, you get feedback in real-time allowing you to make changes during your lecture to help students understand difficult topics."

New iPad App Helps Children Cope With Internal Bullies - Teachers with Apps

New iPad App Helps Children Cope With Internal Bullies - Teachers with Apps:

"Monkeys in My Head was written and designed for children age four and up, with a message that is equally relevant to parents and adults. The story’s creators have imaginatively personified the self-doubt and fear that holds everyone back from happiness and success. Young readers will particularly appreciate the lively illustrations, simple navigation with large child-sized buttons, and young Pirouette herself narrating the app’s read-aloud option."

Flipping the Classroom, the Nearpod Way | Nearpod

Flipping the Classroom, the Nearpod Way | Nearpod:

"Supported by the tech media and especially by Khan Academy, the concept of “flipping the classroom” has been gaining momentum lately. In short, a “flipped class” is one where the student first reviews the topic by himself (at home or at school), typically using video lessons or some sort of digital learning support, and then classroom time is used to apply the knowledge by solving specific problems and/or doing practical work. The flipped class thus transitions the role of the educator from a “lecturer” to a “tutor” who coaches a student when he/she gets stuck, rather than delivering a traditional one-way lecture."
