  • 1.  Favorite (potentially new) Apps to Use in the Classroom?

    Posted 08-18-2018 16:47
    Hello my friends! 

    I hope everyone is having a good year so far! 

    I was wondering which apps do you consider your favorites to use in class? These could be apps for phones, tablets, computers, etc... What makes them your favorites? 

    Just wanted to see what everyone is using.

    So here's a link to a thread that was started in 2014, revived in April 2018, and culminates in a link to the App List created by Ginny (though she notes that it may be a little out of date, though also notes that it is a Google doc that can be edited/updated/added to).

    It's a good place to start! 

    My personal favorite apps that I used in the classroom: 
    Remind 101, Group Me, Slack, Facebook, Dial My Calls: All for communicating with students and parents

    iTunes with a subscription to Apple Music: Daily use for everything :)

    HeadsUp or Charades app: Recreates the HeadsUp game, which I created revision guides for our district exams (tech theatre and theatre exam terms and definitions etc.)

    7 minute work out (Used for quick warm ups to get kids woken up for class. 7 minutes well spent!)

    ScannerPro: to scan scenes quickly from purchased plays for use in class so I don't wreck my copy. And paperwork needs. 

    LifeTopix (productivity app that helped organize my tasks and activities and life)
