Apps can be our best friends! There<br />
are many apps that can be<br />
downloaded through Apple and<br />
Android products. Some may be free<br />
and some may subscription. To make<br />
life easier we have compiled a list of<br />
apps.<br />
Katrina Schwartz from KQ<strong>ED</strong> News<br />
shares some of the top apps that<br />
most teachers and students love and<br />
use often. These apps can be free or<br />
found at a low cost. Let’s see if<br />
there’s an app you haven’t used yet!<br />
Top 10 Apps used among Teachers &<br />
Students:<br />
1. Kahoot: This app is the top<br />
used among teachers. It simply<br />
allows the teacher to create<br />
their own questions and used<br />
them during the class as a quiz.<br />
Kahoot makes taking quizzes<br />
look like a fun game to play.<br />
2. Plickers: It allows teachers to<br />
create short questions<br />
(including short answer<br />
questions) to check for student<br />
understanding. The students<br />
will participate by showing<br />
their issue cards with choices<br />
on them (A, B, C, D). The super<br />
fun part is having the teacher<br />
scan the answer of the<br />
students via their smartphone.<br />
As the teacher is scanning, they<br />
can see which student needs<br />
help and who understood the<br />
lesson. This is a great app for<br />
immediate feedback!<br />
3. ABCya: This app is an<br />
interactive game-based<br />
learning for language. It is<br />
especially for grades K- 5 and it<br />
has sophisticated graphics that<br />
will catch your student’s<br />
attention!<br />
4. Mindomo: This app can be<br />
used as a graphic organizing<br />
tool for students to create their<br />
own “mind-maps” of ideas. It is<br />
especially effective with<br />
students that are struggling in<br />
how to start writing an essay.<br />
5. Nearpod: Must have app for<br />
teachers and schools! It<br />
combines interactive<br />
presentations, collaboration,<br />
and real-time assessment tools<br />
into one integrated solution<br />
