Psychologists
say that 50 percent of class time is spent managing behaviour rather than
delivering instructions. Given it is a single class period, one can save a lot
of precious time through this app. It helps teachers improve behaviour in their
classrooms quickly and easily by generating behaviour data that can then be
shared with parents and administrators. This also gives regular notifications to
students to help them improve on their own.

Class Act
This
app is designed for teachers ‘on the go’ so that they can assess students’
performance throughout the lesson. The different colours give you a pictorial
view of the different progress report of each student. Thus you can direct your
questions and support accordingly to each individual or a group. This automatically
keeps track of each student which is a pretty cumbersome task, especially if
the teacher student ratio is not balanced.

Trello
This lets you see everything about your project in a single
glance. This is the perfect app that makes group projects a lot easier. It’s a
way of offering more without cluttering things for everyone. You can add as
many boards and people as you want. It tells you at a glance what’s being
worked on, who is working on it and where something is in process.

Team Shake
Managing
students at playfields have been one of the tedious tasks ever. The next app
makes life at playgrounds hassle-free. Hard to imagine such a thing exists but
it does! Team Shake provides a technological and environmentally friendly way
to choose teams for board games, sporting events, tournaments, school projects
or anytime groups are required. One can balance teams based on skill or gender,
import users from a file and enable video output and share teams via Facebook
or email.

Subtext
Gone are the days of reading traditional books in old
fashion. Welcome to the age of Subtext. This app takes you beyond highlighters
and bookmarks. You can annotate, create quizzes around the e-books and also create
discussions, public or private about it. You can label a section as a literary
element like ‘foreshadowing’ or ‘personification’. What more? You can even
design your own bookshelf.
