GoClass is a wonderful site/app for flipping a classroom. This is a fantastic solution for educators to be able to manage their classes/students and create dynamic lessons that can be shared on mobile devices. Students can login to a session on their mobile device and then follow the lesson following the "show-explain-ask" method. Teachers can then get instant real-time feedback on student engagement and learning as well as attendance.I highly recommend checking out GoClass by clicking here!!!*GoClass is an advertiser of Technology Tidbits.

ClassTag is an interesting new site that I just found out about from Free Technology 4 Teachers. ClassTag allows educators to create a class directory and schedule appointments w/ parents. The way this works is by integrating a calendar feature where educators can create "slots" where parents can then sign-up. This helps avoid people get signed up for the same time and avoid the use of paper/handouts. Also, this is a great way to share announcements w/ parents to help remind them of upcoming events.I highly recommend checking out ClassTag by clicking here!!!

Level it Books is the excellent mobile app (iOS/Android) that people everywhere are using to scan a book and get a Reading/Lexile Level. Educators are using it to create a digital library of class books, as well as creating a class roster of students w/ their Read Level. Also, a user can add a book, select a "book of the day", and manually search for any book as well. If you're a parent, librarian, or educator this is the perfect app for you to find the appropriate type of reading material for your student/child.I highly recommend checking out Level it Books by clicking here!!!*Level it Books is an advertiser of Technology Tidbits.

Tangram Chess is an excellent iOS game from the creator of MathFileFolderGames. This is a multiplayer game that has students trying to move shapes using: rotations, translations, and reflections across a chess board. The player to move their shape to the other side of the board first wins. Best of all, as w/ most MFFG this app is bluetooth enabled which means that two players can play on multiple devices.I highly recommend checking out Tangram Chess by clicking here!!!For more MathFileFolderGames click here.*MathFileFolderGames is an advertiser of Technology Tidbits.

ClassCall is a excellent site for creating interactive presentations that reminds me of a cross between 9Slides and a backchannel chat tool. ClassCall allows a user to import a presentation (i.e. Prezi, Powerpoint, etc) and then stream their presentation in real-time to a mobile device. It also has a nice feature to ask questions or "poll" an audience which allows educators to assess learning and differentiate instruction. This is also a nice way to "flip" a classroom and create webinars.I highly recommend checking out ClassCall by clicking here!!!
