FREE TECHNOLOGIES FOR TEACHERS
In most cases, an app being free is an important non-negotiable as a teacher. The last thing you want to do is put up more barriers to education and further entrench socioeconomic divisions by trying to embed paid apps.
1. EdApp
EdApp’s new public microlearning courseware platform Educate All is free for teachers, students and anyone else on the planet who has a desire to learn. Together with UNITAR, EdApp is redefining what we mean by ‘team micro teaching’ by creating a true global village of educators.
2. Seesaw
Seesaw is an amazing digital portfolio app that captures student work through the use of photos, videos, and audio. It enables students to showcase their work and collaborate with their peers. Using the Seesaw blog platform, students gain an authentic sense of authorship and are able to share ideas and feedback constructively in a safe teacher-moderated space.
3. Kahoot
As a teacher, I always had a stockpile of Kahoot! quizzes in my back pocket. I would use them as a form of face-to-face spaced repetition on a regular basis in order to refresh student understanding, and I would also have them on hand to pull out whenever I needed to inject a bit of competition and energy into the classroom. It is an awesome way to gamify learning and training through play. Word of warning though: students and adults alike LOVE Kahoot! so much they will literally beg for more!
