SOCRATIVE
SOCRATIVE: Socrative lets you easily quiz students in real time from their iPads or iPod touches. All the data is collated and sent to you in an email report. You get to see live results as you go. You can beam these from your ipad to your IWB so kids can see the tally of responses as you complete the quiz (Kind of like 'ask the audience' in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire")

Class Dojo
Classroom Behaviour Management - CLASS DOJO
I can not rave enough about this software. I'd strongly encourage you to have a play with it and read the information on the website. This tool allows you to set your own behaviour standards (e.g. out of chair, calling out etc...) and add or remove points based on behaviour. Then all the students points are collated into a graph and can be emailed to parents at the click of a button! |
Edmodo
Edmodo provides a safe and easy way for your class to connect and collaborate, share content, and access homework, grades and school notices.

THE SAMR MODEL
The SAMR model helps educators better integrate technology into the classroom. The model was created by Dr. Ruben Puentudura. There are four levels to the model as shown below. You can read more about the SAMR model here: I find the model self-explanatory. There are some technologies that enhance learning and others that transform it altogether.
