<p class="ui_qtext_para">Wooclap is a simple and intuitive online polling system that is developed with the help of pedagogical engineers and teachers and professors across the globe!</p>
<p class="ui_qtext_para">What it does is basically, it offers teachers a super easy platform through which they will integrate questions (polls, open questions, multiple choice questions,…) to their PPT presentation. This will enable them to ask the questions live during class and students will thus participate by using their smartphone, tablet or computer.</p>
<p class="ui_qtext_para">It offers a great way to revolutionise the way you give classes and increases interaction and participation coming from your audience/students. <span class="qlink_container"><a href="https://www.wooclap.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">Wooclap</a></span><span> </span>uses smartphones, tablets and computers in the learning process. It’s a great interactive tool and all you need is the link to the website and you can turn presentations, classes, meetings into a great interactive experience.</p>

<p>I think it's extremely important to think beforehand about what device to buy (personally I think iPads are not the way to go, it doesn't give you any options to change things and make the device specifically for students).

<p>I think it's extremely important to think beforehand about what device to buy (personally I think iPads are not the way to go, it doesn't give you any options to change things and make the device specifically for students). After deciding which device to buy I think having a classroom management software is a must. You can't have a classroom full of kids with tablets in their hands and not being able to control them. You need the teacher to be able to control the students' screens, to see each individual student's screen on her device, and other functions which will make sure your classroom doesn't turn into complete chaos. Another necessity is an MDM, you need your school IT person to be able to control and manage all the devices within the school so if one tablet needs fixing the IT person can just take over the tablet from his own computer and fix it right away, the MDM also locates the device and can wipe it or lock it in case it's stolen or lost, you can implement policies through the MDM and much more.</p>
<p>Hope this helps..</p>

The app "Quizlet" is a great way to study terms and for students to quiz themselves in a fun and creative way. They can either create their own quizzes or use one on the thousands of already created quizzes to help them study and to retain the information they are presented. It might be cool to use in a classroom setting or for students who have completed work.

<p>I think an aspect that is often over looked when planning to use tablets in the classroom is how these tablets will be stored, secured from theft, charged, and synced. When we received our Nexus 7's we were totally unprepared to manage them. The professional advice I got was to purchase a tablet cart from Datamation Systems, and this provided the perfect way to organize and employ the tabs.

When we received our Nexus 7's we were totally unprepared to manage them. The professional advice I got was to purchase a tablet cart from Datamation Systems, and this provided the perfect way to organize and employ the tabs. I work in a middle school but our high school has iPads, and they ordered a few iPad carts from Datamation Systems and are very happy. The iPad carts simultaneously charge and sync all of the iPads to one central computer. Datamation make carts for 7" tablets and full size iPads and, from what I hear, has the best value as compared to competitors. We are satisfied and highly recommend their carts to classroom teachers getting started with a tablet rollout.

<p>I have an ipad and i really like it! you can get a keyboard on it to type notes on the notepad. what i like about the ipad is that you can connect it with your phone. if you are on the go and have time to review your notes, you can look at them on your phone. you can also get a study blue app where you can make flashcards on your tablet!</p>

Scott, I don't know if you are still looking for feedback, but as someone who has had an iPad for the classroom for almost a year at this point I would like to help! I am a kindergarten music teacher that has not only used music apps, but I have also been incharge of Math support for students who struggle as well as RtI support for students struggling with reading. The iPad has several free apps that can help support student learning and encourage students to be excited about learning.<br />

I have found that the downsides are that a tablet of any kind is not good for whole class instruction when using Apps and that most Apps are free to a point and to get the full advantage you need to buy the App. Also having Wireless throughout the school is essential. Like most other people have said Andriod has most of the same Apps as Apple so it is up to the school to figure out what is best for them price wise.

<p>The Missing – A dangerous truth , a free app, from The British Safety Council aims to reach young people (13-25 years) with important Health and Safety messages? Is this the app that will help save lives?</p>
