A few months ago, the world had to go online for all the major and minor tasks, and stepping out of the house became an offense. Even going to school has become an offense, which resulted in online classes. From elementary to college, all the teachers were restricted to teach online only. Although some schools are opening with precautions, most of the people around the world choose to stay home. One cannot even travel back to their college overseas and has to rely on group video calling apps for education.
As for the teacher, this new technological world was confusing. Managing classes, scheduling classes, etc. must have been a hectic task. To help the teachers out, we have found you some fantastic classroom management apps that will let you focus more on the subject and less on the technology. Following is the list of apps you should try:
Google Classrooms
Google Classroom is a free service for schools, non-profits, and anyone with a personal Google account. It makes it easy for learners and instructors to connect. Teachers can easily create classes, distribute assignments, communicate, and stay organized. You can directly add students or share a code to let them join. You can even create, review, and mark assignments quickly, all in one place. Students can also check their assignments on an assignment page, and all class materials will automatically get filed into folders in Google Drive. Students can even share notes and provide answers to questions on the stream.
ClassDojo
ClassDojo connects teachers with students and parents to build unique classroom communities. It aims at creating a positive culture by allowing the teachers to encourage students for any skill or value they show during the class. It also allows the students to showcase and share their learning by adding photos and videos to their portfolios. Teachers can instantly share photos, videos, and announcements on the class story, or privately start a conversation with parents. You can even create random groups of students, display activity directions, turn on background music, and more.
Socrative
Socrative believes that immediate feedback is a vital part of the learning process; thus, it provides you with an efficient way to monitor and evaluate learning that saves time for educators while delivering fun and engaging interactions for learners. You can engage your students in online assignments, quizzes, etc. Teachers can design and edit their library full of assessments and save everything in the Socrative account for easy access and sharing.
