Using New Technology to Simplify Your Teaching
I attended the EdxEDNY 2015 conference on June 4th where I learned about some interesting technology tools other educators are using.
To help you with grading and analysis of questioning, may be more useful for next year, try FLOOBAROO. It is a google add on that automatically grades and analyzes multiple choice exams and sends the results to your students. I practiced using it during the conference at a blended learning workshop and took a pre assessment test with it. A few hours later, I had the results emailed to me with my responses analyzed.
More google apps: Slides. Download the app, you can edit and view slide shows made with google presentation on your phone. 81 Interesting Ways to Use Google Forms in the Classroom has interesting tips for classroom use.
Several teachers already use REMIND.com. I recommend it to anyone who wants to remind students about meetings, tests, etc. All you do is invite students to sign up, students get texts or emails with the reminders. Students do not see your email address or your phone number. No limit on number of phone numbers you can enter.
