CREATE hand written or hand drawn Doceri projects on your iPad, using sophisticated drawing tools and the innovative Doceri Timeline. Unlike others, Doceri allows you to go back and edit any drawing stroke and any inserted photo or hand drawn object at any point. Create, edit, replay and perfect your hand drawn or annotated presentation before you record, or record live during your presentation. This enables easy creation of high-quality, Flipped Classroom Screencasts.
Evernote is a website that allows users to annotate the web. Use Evernote when an idea comes up. Instead of using a note card and thus, losing a note card, Evernote makes it easier to remember almost anything. What is unique is the clean and very easy to use interface. In addition, it's a true three-platform play: it works very well, and somewhat differently, on desktop computers, mobile phones, and over the Web.
Infuse Learning is a student response suite that allows teachers to send out a set of questions, prompts, or even a quiz, and lets students provide their responses via any device - tablets, computers, phones, etc. Infuse Learning has a couple of really cool features including the drawing response where students can doodle their answers and the ability to have questions read to users, even in multiple languages. This is a robust tool that is free to use and can be used in unique ways to allow full-class participation.
Nearpod is an intriguing solution to an "all-in-one" presentation and polling application for classroom and other large iPad environments. The app provides the ability to upload existing presentations as well as create new ones from scratch. Adding interactive features such as question/answer polling, surveys, and drawings are easy and the entire pacing of the presentation is controlled from the teacher's iPad.
One of the primary reasons I like this app is because of the workflows that teachers and students can create in order to retrieve, annotate and submit work. Plus, Notability integrates Dropbox, Google Drive and Box drive. If teachers set up a shared folder with their class via Google Drive, students can access their documents, annotate them and push them back to their teacher via a privately shared folder. In other words, this is a big step toward the paperless classroom. Also, students can open PDFs from any website in Notability and annotate directly on the PDF.
