Interesting apps that can be used from teachers.

Hello .How are you doing?
This week I thought of posting about an interesting topic at least I found it so .We as future teachers shall take
into
account
every
single
opportunity ,every tool that helps us to improve or to upgrade let’s
say
our process of teaching our way of teaching because there is always
place for improvement .
I have mentioned it many times that multimedia or technology
serve the
purposes of teaching ,the
main
aim of us as teachers which for the most is to teach properly.Why not the traditional way intertwined with the newest ones ,and of course technology is a main
aspect of this intertwined method having this in consideration we as teachers
personalize ,make it our own way so as to love what we do .
While looking up some articles about apps and technology I found
out a very attractive and engaging article
about the variety of apps that we as future teachers may find helpful to use
while.
I thought of sharing five of these apps I took note of with you.Take
a look if you want.
The first one is ‘’Kahoot.’’
1)Teachers love to turn a boring lesson into a game to
motivate their students, but not everyone has the skills to make a
game from scratch. Thankfully, the GetKahoot website makes it easy to turn your
class into a gameshow. All you have to do is enter your prepared questions
and answers into the site to create an instantly playable game with a web
browser. Your students can then download the Kahoot app to use as a buzzer to
join in on the fun.
Then after Kahoot we go on
with
the
2nd
one
which is ‘’Seesaw’’
2) Parents want to celebrate their kids’ achievements every
step of the way, so it’s important to keep them in the loop on their kids’
progress throughout the school year. With Seesaw, a student portfolio app,
students can store and post their best work to share with their parents.
Teachers, on the other hand, can provide concrete examples of their
students’ strengths and weaknesses to their parents during teacher-parent
meetings.
The
3rd one that follows is ‘’Teach Learn Lead’’ which serves a lot to us as teachers.
3) Don’t you wish you could
meet other teachers who teach the same subject or grade as you, even if they
don’t work at your school? Teach Learn Lead is like Facebook for teachers,
where you can meet like-minded colleagues who may be anywhere in the country,
but have relevant experience to share. You can start discussions and polls to
share lesson plan ideas or career advice, or just gab about your students.
Whereas the 4th
one
is ‘’Remind’’.
4) Remind (formerly known as
Remind 101) makes it easy for teachers to communicate with students and
their parents beyond the classroom. You can make class announcements,
group chats, or contact individuals privately through the app. Your
messages can even be translated into over 70 languages, making it
possible to communicate with parents who are non-native English
speakers.
And the last but not the least is ‘’Addittio’’.
5) There is a better way of keeping attendance, grades,
and class notes than in easily misplaced notebooks or on random pieces of
paper. As a digital gradebook and classroom management app, Additio lets you
take attendance, calculate grades, and plan your timetable, all on your mobile device.
For additional features, like performance analytics and note-keeping, you need
to opt for the $8-per-month Plus edition.
Feel free to
share your
opinion
of what
you
think
of these
apps .
Thank you !
