This is a great tool for those that are having a hard time letting go of the past and need to ease into technology in the classroom slowly. It is a freemium site that allows you to create interactive worksheets. You can add images, videos, etc and you can ask all types of questions. There is a community that allows you to copy other people’s work or you can create your own.

LearningApps.org is a Web 2.0 application, to support learning and teaching processes with small interactive modules. Those modules can be used directly in learning materials, but also for self studying. The aim is to collect reusable building blocks and make them available to everyone. Blocks (called Apps) include no specific framework or a specific learning scenario. The blocks are therefore not suitable as complete lessons or tasks, instead they must be embedded in an appropriate teaching scenario. LearningApps.org is available in 21 languages.

Augment student learning through use of images and videos which are linked to a ‘trigger’ image. Simply point your device at the trigger image and additional information appears. Very easy for students to use. Can create a class or year level account or student have individual account. Share information about events, learning, groups etc.

Answergarden is such a simple and versatile tool for when you want to throw out a quick question to get a finger on the pulse re how students are feeling or find out what key words students know / can recall from the last lesson / what their dream job is etc, so much potential when all you want is a short answer and from their answers discover which is the most common word.
Love Google Forms for in depth quizzing however.
Also another fave has to be Versal for flipping lessons, making interactive learning tasks with so many cool easy to use gadgets.

My favourite thing to do with #edtech, using a myriad of tools, is encouraging my students (and colleagues) to make their learning visible - both process and product. So whether it's creating a slideshow of all the steps to a final piece of art; being the Tweeter of the day in our class (with pictures/videos), writing a blog reflection after completing a cycle of learning, doing a Flipgrid post about what they learned (and the list goes on), we are recording our thinking, and sharing it with a wider, authentic audience.

to free our teachers from doing non-creative works and allow them to focus on class-effectiveness and quality-accuracy.

Brilliant way to motivate and reinforce positive behaviour among students. Works especially well with younger children though if used well it can be used with any age group (I even used it to acknowledge staff in my department). It is also a superb tool for engaging parents as it is a safe and secure way to share photos from lessons. Parents can also see in real time what their child being rewarded (or sanctioned for) in class. The whole thing is very easy to use with minimal skills needed. Admin is simple and quick. @StracHacks

I love that EdTech provides a constant stream of choice for my students to publish creatively. I try to introduce a number of apps to my students early in the year so their creativity begins! I usually been with Seesaw for simple sharing. Then I introduce PicCollage to add some colour and variety. Then we begin to explore apps like Book Creator, Keynote, Adobe Spark Video, iMovie, Stop Motion Studio, Garage Band, etc and allow my students to choose how they want to publish their work.

Often been tempted to move to these other products, but keep coming back to the simplicity and familiarity of Edmodo. It is a communication tool, a collaboration tool, an archive, a testing centre, a message board and much more. Students love the ease of use, and the notifications for which they sign up for. An easy to use VLE is vital for modern educators, and while there are many good ones out there, Edmodo has stood the test of time. PS. The support is great too 😜

Our staff love Showbie to provide materials related to a lesson, assessment material and to then receive student work. They can then provide verbal or written feedback on this work and communicate with the student instantly instead of waiting for the next class. It is great if a student misses a lesson as they can keep up with what is going on. External verifiers also accept Showbie as the summative record and evidence of marked work and are finding it so easy to use. For staff no more files of work to take home  - they are now paperless.

From an SEN perspective, I can't recommend this highly enough as a super-quick (no printing or laminating) way of helping pupils to read/write or simply engage and learn about themselves or their world- e.g. For an autistic pupil in Reception, make 'My Day at School' book with video/photos and text and let the student read through it and get to know the words to describe where they are/what they're doing/who's in the class/names of teachers/days of the week etc - for an older pupil who dislikes the mechanical aspect of writing, use it for summaries, character descriptions etc -an oldie (in tech terms) but such a good app with endless possibilities

I've started using this recently and my classes love it and frequently ask 'are we going to do that game with the cards today?' Plickers is great for checking student understanding of a topic, as an MFL teacher I use it for grammar points mostly. It allows the students to answer anonymously but also tracks student's responses so that at the end I can follow up with those that appear to be struggling. Only the teacher needs the tech and students love it (and I'm not even sure why!)

Hope this is interesting. With tests and surveys, Teachers always feedback the big limitation with edTech is the pre-test planning, producing questions and the supporting content etc.  We made a Gameshow style Q&A mode in our classroom App so a Teacher could ask questions verbally on the fly, but the students could respond digitally and then we could capture their responses.

Doing the questions verbally means you can vary the level of scaffolding depending on the student and you can bounce questions on to other students to develop the topic and provide some differentiation, but with all the scores retained.

It's much more engaging with things like First to Answer & Team based answering which seems to get the competitive gamers involved. You can also have options so once a student has answered they are excluded from the next round ( ensures others get involved) and random select, where students never know who will be selected next - which keeps them paying attention :)

It seems really popular and is a nice way to use edtech in more of a gamified way.  Just a thought.   Al.
