Adding some new ones this year. We went to chromebooks for the teachers, So I now use The Chrome Remote to be able to walk around the classroom and still control my computer instead of splashtop. Another program this is great is Edulastic. This allows you to create online assessments and lets you organize the results by student, question or even standard. Also, the free version is very robust.

Thanks so much for sharing! I will check ClassKick out.

Love these ideas! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Andrea! Yes, it sounds like we were in similar situations. First, I am not familiar with how the Kindle Fire works, so it might be a great option, too. The Mobi provides a interactive whiteboard experience, without the large cost. It is a tablet that has a pen and software with various math tools. So, I could create the slides and then use them during class, working examples and making notes over the presentation. You can also annotate pdfs and powerpoint presentations. I liked it because it had the pen and was sturdy enough to pass off to students during class, for them to work an example. Yes, kids can see what you write because it is working with your projector. My first year, I only had one in my class, and I would use it primarily and then hand it to students to use. The second year, I got a set of six and we would use it in groups. To be honest, six was probably too many. I also received a set of student response clickers that integrated with the Mobi, that was the bomb! I know there are a lot of apps now, that might do this too. Feel free to contact me on my site, if you have any more questions. Best of luck!
