Can’t remember the periodic table for your next chemistry test ? Well don’t worry because the “Periodic Table” app has you covered. One feature that I found neat is when you click on an element additional information about the element will appear. The app is great for chemistry teachers who are trying to teach their students the periodic table. One pro of this app includes color coded element groups which is beneficial because students can easily identify the element groups. Another pro is when you click on an element more information is provided which is crucial when studying for your next test. One con I found is that the app does not provide the number of electrons, protons or neutrons an element has. Overall the “Periodic Table” app is a great tool for teachers and study tool for students. Below is a screenshot of the app itself.

Kahoot is a website that teachers from across the globe are using. Kahoot allows teachers to create tests. During the game students have to click on multiple choice answers and the faster you answer the more points you get . Kahoot also lets teachers choose already made tests from different users. Pros consist of being able to learn while having fun which gets the student more involved. Students can also customize their own username before the game. Also teachers can receive results which shows them what students are good at and what needs to be improved. A con of Kahoot is the fact you have to be connected to the internet to play. Another con is not being able monitor student activity, which means teachers can’t tell if students are working or not.
The Duolingo app is a great tool to have for learning a new language. The app allows you to learn a variety of languages such as Spanish, German and more. The app itself allows you to choose a language and from there you can do a variety of activities such as learning vocabulary, listening activities and spelling activities. The app makes learning a new language interactive and fun. I personally use Duolingo to learn Spanish and it makes learning Spanish a whole lot easier. Pros of the app include fun activities, the app itself is free of charge and it is easy to use. Cons of the app includes not being able to choose the vocabulary you want to learn. Overall Duolingo is a great and useful tool especially for Spanish teachers wanting to improve their students Spanish speaking skills.
The Remind 101 app is a great app that allows you to receive personal notifications from coaches or teachers. The app allows the user to keep tabs on due dates, assignments given and any other useful information. In my opinion the app is a great tool, it allows me to keep on track with my school life by giving me the opportunity to keep up to date with my classes and extracurricular activities. Pros of the app include being able to have up to ten classes. Students can join just with one text message without downloading the app itself. Some cons of Remind 101 is the fact that students can't reply back to messages sent from teachers. Overall, the Remind 101 app is a great tool to have for teachers to communicate with students outside of school. |
