Yes, being a teacher is not easy. Luckily, technology is advancing quite rapidly these days, and more and more new apps are appearing that can really make teaching and learning easier in general. We’ve compiled a list of the most useful apps that will come to the rescue of any teacher.
ClassDojo
ClassDojo is a unique classroom management app. Most similar apps focus on “stars” and charts, but this app allows teachers to emphasize positive feedback, that is, commenting on their students’ behavior and progress using words like “participation” or “hard work.”
Edmodo
Edmodo is another useful app that allows instructors to manage their virtual classroom, where students can continue to discuss the topic covered in class, as well as post and submit assignments for review. The instructor can share various information with students, dialog with another educator, upload files and videos, and even track student progress.
Pocket is an application for managing a list of saved articles, videos and images from the internet. Every teacher is faced with an incredible amount of all kinds of information on a daily basis. You will clearly enjoy bookmarking or saving your favorite material for another convenient occasion.
TED
We all love TED talks and often use them in our work, including teaching. The TED app is very user-friendly and a pleasure to use.
Live Transcribe
The app we’ve all been waiting for! It transcribes spoken language and does it almost instantly. Just launch Live Transcribe and it immediately starts displaying what you are saying on the phone screen in big letters. The app understands the context and knows how to put punctuation marks correctly, but it requires a constant internet connection.
Flipboard brings together news, popular content, and discussions on a variety of topics. When everything is in one place, reading, collecting and sharing articles becomes much easier. Plus, this app is very cute and easy to use. Teachers can use it either when preparing for class or right in the classroom during class.
TickTick
TickTick is not as popular as other to-do list apps. Nevertheless, it can be safely called one of the best. You can create task lists, categorize them, prioritize them, dictate tasks using voice commands, synchronize between all your devices, and much, much more. The app also allows you to share tasks and entire categories with other people, which you can use when working with a group of students.
