5 great classroom management apps for the iPad
/An iPad or tablet is almost an essential item for any modern day teacher due to their versatility and simplicity to use whilst doing that important part of your job… Teaching students.
Today we are going to look at five tools teachers can use to make the process of managing your classroom a little easier and possibly more engaging to your students.
I am sure that you have other recommendations, and if you do I would love to hear them in the comment section below.
Enjoy.
A Fun classroom management tool for Teachers, that will engage and entertain students. The Random Name Selector is a Fun (and fair) way to select students for that special task or to answer that question.
Has anyone not answered yet?, did everyone get a turn? Bring your Classroom Management into the 21st century with the Random Name Selector.
Simply create your class group. The App will then randomly select students from the highlighted group. All names will be displayed before a name is displayed for a second time.
Class Dojo takes the concept of rewarding good behaviour and positive actions in your classroom to a new level by turning it into a video game format.
When setting up Class Dojo every student creates an avatar which is linked to their teachers’ account. From there the teacher provides the student with feedback, digital badges, rewards and level ups when they complete a task or display great behaviour.
An excellent concept for modern day students that can be completely customised by the teacher.
It doesn’t get much simpler than this but your kids will love it especially if you use it through an Apple TV or large screen.
You simply create a list of options such as some different types of games you could play as a class and then this app turns that into a large spinning wheel.
Once again a fair and easy way to make decisions in the classroom
This is a visual noise monitoring tool that allows students to see how they are actually performing in the classroom. They can accumulate points for periods of sustained acceptable noise levels and also see what the learning intention is at the same time. ie: working as a group on our history projects.
This is an innovative and visually appealing timer that will be of great use to special needs students who have trouble staying on task. Specifically designed for use in the classroom with loads of customisable options. Enough Said.
