Classroom Technology Tool Recommendations
Screencastify
Ok, fine! You may have heard of us by now, but we pulled some strings to get ourselves included on this list. Our super simple screen recorder gives teachers the ability to clone themselves, provide helpful student feedback, and assess student achievement. If you're looking to create your own videos to flip your classroom, look no further!
Viewpure
Looking to use online videos in your classroom? Chances are you'd prefer to present this information to your students without the advertisements. ViewPure allows you to input your desired url and out pops a link for you to share with students (advertisement free!). Of course, there are other tools that will allow you to do much more with a YouTube video like Edpuzzle But, if your objective is purely to create a "pure" video, look no further than ViewPure.
AutoDraw
AutoDraw adds a new dimension to the classic white-boarding app! (We know: it's not technically a video application. But, white-boarding apps are so much better when turned into a video like the one above). Start drawing and the tool attempts to determine what you're drawing. Once you've drawn enough for the app to guess correctly, you can automatically switch your drawing out for their perfectly constructed one.
Live Binders
Let's face it: students accumulate a ton of reference material over the course of a school year. Live Binders aims to make keeping track of those resources easier than ever. Students can create and organize their own online binders for easy reference. As a teacher, you can create your own binders to share with students or colleagues as well.
Peergrade
We love Peergrade! The platform seeks to change the way that students give peer feedback. As a teacher, you upload a rubric so that students know how to assess each other. Students are able to post anonymous feedback to each other. As a final step, students receive their feedback and are able to interact with it through comments.
