I think Nearpord is great!
I think this toold let you have the target learning identify, it lets the kids use tech in their own peace or do it teacher peace mode and also you can obtain data from it.
I started using it and I think it is great.

UF is a way that middle and high school students can explore college and career interests. I like that students can research multiple careers, college majors, and compare different features about colleges. UF also has prewritten lessons and worksheets that teachers and counselors can use to present the material. I also love it has a resume building feature as well as a cover letter feature.

I love Storybird! Students can write and edit their own stories. Their stories can be shared with just the class or published as an ebook or hardcover book. Teachers can also fundraise using Storybird books.
Both the app and web platform are compatible and works with Google Classroom.
I like the web platform the best because it doesn't need to be downloaded and the students can edit their stories from any device or at home. Students will be more willing to write than they do using the pencil and paper method!

I am evaluating ComicLife 3 as a possible home note program for my students. Many of students are non-verbal and it's been difficult to get them to participate in writing/adding to their home notes. I want the students to have as much independence and input as possible with the home notes. By using ComicLife, they can input photos from their day and a teacher can help caption the photos. Students can choose what they want to share with their families; maybe a favorite activity from the day, something new they learned, or something they excelled at. It is a fun, interactive program that really held student attention. It is more for making a finished product than teaching or checking for understanding though.

This year, I have had a lot of issues with student attendance as well as students having problems on their homework.  I have been trying to find a way to assist students who need extra homework help and find a time to reteach lessons to absent students.  A coworker told me about Khan Academy so that’s the tool I chose to evaluate.

I think Khan Academy is an excellent tool to help reteach, practice, and remind students about math standards (can also be used for science, but I looked at it primarily for math).  Students get a login and are able to search for a math skill, watch a lesson video on how to solve the problems, and then are provided practice problems.

As a teacher, I can go on and see student progress.  I can see what skills they practiced and whether they mastered it or still need practice.  I have assigned my students their logins, and I have heard that parents like it as well, because they watch the videos and it helps them know how to help their kids.  Another good thing about it is these resources for K-12 so anyone could use it!  Overall, this tool seems like a very helpful tool and I highly recommend it!

I evaluated Utah Compose because it is a site that we are encouraged to use and have tried to implement more in our classrooms this year. We have had some training on it. I think its a helpful way to model and encourage students to reflect and revise their writing.

BLUE STACKS EMULATOR

I will be using the tonal energy tuner, an app designed for iPhone and Android, running on the Blue Stacks Android emulator, on my school laptop.  That will allow me to cast the app onto my classroom projector.

Students will use the app to learn how to play more in tune. Data will be collected by measuring the pitch frequency discrepancy over the comfortable range of the instrument.

I-Ready is a program that is designed to teach children Language Arts--reading, vocabulary, phonics etc. It is a tool that grows with the child: for example as they pass off one lesson, it assesses them and then moves onto the next instructional lesson. If the students does not pass the lesson, it is repeated up to 2 more times.

I'm evaluating the Overdrive e-book library platform. If you are in a secondary school in the JSD, your students have access to it! It allows kids to checkout books to any device with just their student number. They may need some help with the initial set-up, but it's pretty cool and user friendly once they get started. Your school librarian will probably even add books for you and your students if you ask.

I have chosen Nearpod because it is interactive and I have had fantastic discussions with anticipation guides; making them interactive and students are really interested to see how they "measure up" against the masses. Sometimes we have drawing activities for understanding, sometimes it is a short comment for opinion. All of it makes for a great discussion about sensitive subjects.

I am evaluating Kahoot as a effective teaching tool. I have used it in the past, the students are always excited to use it. However, I have found limited success in using the tool beyond simple comprehension assessments. I like the app, but I need to determine if there is a way to use it more effectively for educational purposes.

Newsela is an online app that provides a variety of news articles written at multiple Lexile levels. Each article also has a quiz and written response question available. The app will collect student's quiz scores and identify their level of mastery. Teachers can assign specific articles to a class. There are additional features available under the paid PRO account which allows teachers to edit the assessments.

I like the variety of articles and topics. Students can find topics that they are interested in reading about and they can select their reading level. I like the differentiation that this app provides and recommend it.

I see quizlet is already on the board. Quizlet contains electronic flashcards. Students can access them at home, on their devices or in class during an activity. With certain settings, students can edit the cards or add to sets. Graphics can be added to flashcards. Graphics offered in quizlet are good. To upload your own, you need the paid subscription

This is an app that allows students and teacher to work on a collaborative whiteboard on their own device! It allows you to upload documents and editable files to work on collaboratively. I love this as it is adaptable to EVERY subject!
Having a SPED background, I can see this app being a great tool for helping those who may need that extra help. For example, if you have a math worksheet up loaded as PDF, you are able to work with that student from anywhere you have an internet connection!  The implications are quite endless with this app.

Lexia is a reading program for K-5th grade.  It covers all the areas of literacy and is not just phonics or fluency based. Students are assessed at the beginning and placed on a level appropriate for individual growth. Students work consistently 20 minutes a day to progress to new levels. Assessment is done through their daily work and reports to me areas in which particular students need additional assistance. I love the individual pace and the way it points me to the students that need particular assistance.

I am using DoodleBuddy to help teach basic addition and subtraction. Students are able to "stamp" the needed number, then, in the case of subtraction, they are able to cross out the required number of manipulatives. It allows the student and teacher to clearly see the visual of the problem and allows the teacher to see where mistakes are being made easily.

This is a website that has a lot of math games. I wanted a site that my students could practice their 2 digit by 2 digit math facts. This site did provide that, but some of the games were not engaging. Plus, students were not able to create and a lot of feedback wasn't given to the students and the student's progress wasn't recorded for the teacher. I don't think I would recommend this site.

Socrative is a great formative or even summative assessment tool. Students can complete exit tickets that are very basic (rank yourself on how well you understood today's information) to having students write their own responses. I love that this is an easy way to do an exit ticket if you have one-to-one computers in your classroom, rather than dealing with all the paper. Students can also take quizzes on Socrative and the results can be transferred to Mastery Connect. Students can take quizzes in basic format, or they can do a "Space Race", which brings a little friendly competition into the atmosphere.

I like how there are different options in Sparks.  The ability to make a web page, a meme, or a short video.  I was thrilled to be able to have my students make a video for their book report.  It meets the speaking skills that are so pertinent to develop.  I had done examples, demonstrations, and we were ready to try it out and, of course, my students are too young to sign up.  I will continue to use it but will have to use a different app for my students to make a quick video for right now.

I am exploring Nearpod as an interactive tool to deliver my sophomore orientation. From what I can tell it will give me a way to interact with the students throughout the presentation and to determine if they have learned the information or if it needs to be restated/retaught. I also understand that I will have access to the data from student interaction when I am done.

# data[].attributes.body
Nearpod is a tool that allows teachers to interact with students in real time. It's like an interactive Powerpoint, but better. Students use their individual devices yet the teacher controls the presentation; students aren't tempted to "surf" the web while pretending to follow. The lessons can be set up so that students can move through them from home if needed. Quizzes and drawings and other types of evaluations can be included in presentations and Nearpod provides reports for the teacher to view later.

TTM Is a math program that allows students to learn and practice the math curriculum at different grade levels. Students are given an equation to solve. If they get it correct, they move on to the next question. If they miss it, there is a short video explaining how to solve the equation. Students move at their own pace to complete the lessons.

Desmos is an online math tool that provides activities and games that help students to better understand content. Some activities require students to play against a partner while others are individual. Each has multiple steps that students walk through on their own. They can go at their own pace and receive immediate feedback about whether their response is correct. They have unlimited chances to try to get the answer correct and can move on to other steps without getting the one before correct. The teacher can see the responses of each student and which step they are on. All the data is saved on the teacher's account.
