I would like to share 3 free apps that are useful to use in the classroom!
1. Gtimer FreeGtimer free is a great app to use when timing younger children. It could be used during free play time when children need to take turns playing with something. It would be useful for them to see during a timed assignment so they know how much time they have. Gtimer has a digital stop watch in the middle of a circle. As the time begins the circle turns white in sections (similar to a pie chart). You can have a ringer go off when time is up.
2. Teacher AssistTeacher Assist is an app that can help you randomly select students for activities. For example, if you have a physical education class, you can put the kids into groups for activities. You can enter in how many groups you have and press "go." It will randomly pic numbers. You can enter in the names of your students and it will select names at random as well. Another feature this app has is that you can get quiz or homework comprehension questions if you are stumped on questions to ask students.
3. EvoBooks: Bio Anatomy Demo
This app is super awesome! I love it! Unfortunately, the full version is $20; however, it is really useful when teaching anatomy. The free version offers a 3D experience with the circulatory system and the digestive system. You can write notes on certain things, circle an area you want to discuss or demonstrate how something flows. It also will demonstrate the function (i.e. how the heart beats). You can go all around the body as well. Like I said before, IT IS SUPER COOL!
BUT WAIT! THAT'S NOT ALL!!!
[I'm just going to throw in a freebee ;)]
4. American TESOLThis app is a really useful resource for teachers who teach English as a second language. It has all kinds of helpful articles and videos to inspire and challenge you as a teacher. We all should take an opportunity to grow and learn and this app offers people those opportunities.
I hope you all found this useful! Happy Teaching!
Until next time! Take Care!
