EDMODO online Classroom and SNAPSHOT
The majority of students are familiar with Edmodo, which is a secure Learning Management System that allows teachers to post documents, assignments, videos, etc. and allows students to upload assignments and engage in class discussion.

Edmodo also rolled out a fabulous tool called Snapshot, which allows teachers to choose a CC standard and test students' mastery in just a few questions. Students can respond from any device, and teachers get a detailed report of how each student performed that they can then share privately with each student. WATCH THE VIDEO to see SNAPSHOT in ACTION!

Socrative
Socrative lets teachers engage and assess their students with polls/quizes/games using a free app on ANY device! Through the use of real time questioning, and instant results aggregation, teachers can gauge students' level of understanding.
REMIND
This free, secure app is great for communicating with students, players, or club members. No numbers are exchanged and all members maintain their privacy. Best of all, Remind added a new feature that allows the teacher/coach/advisor to attach files!
