Do the same one or two hands always pop up when you ask a question in your classroom? The Teacher Tools - Whos Next? app will shake things up for your class by allowing you to call on students randomly and even create randomized work groups!
Grab the app today to start realizing the benfits of random calling and random groups in your classroom immediately. Benefits include:
- Makes all students in the class accountable for the lesson information at all times.
- Eliminates any possible bias; no students will be called on too little or too much.
- Saves time when splitting class into groups for assignments.
- Helps with classroom management by not allowing students to pick their own groups.
- Simple to set up, takes just a couple of minutes to create a class and enter student names.
- Great way to use technology in the classroom and keep students engaged.
Calling on students randomly has been proven to have positive effects on learning by holding everyone equally accountable for the lesson. But implementing this differentiated instruction in the classroom is often a pain since it requires teachers to assign numbers to each pupil or number the desks, and then find a method for generating random numbers.
The Teacher Tools - Whos Next app makes the process simple! Just take a couple of minutes to set up your classes in the app, and you can start calling on students randomly any time in just seconds. To call the next student, just shake your iPhone or iPod Touch or tap a button on the screen. No one will be called on to little or too much and everyone will be participating in the lesson, knowing they can be called on at any time.
Do you draw a blank when its time to break students up into groups? The app also allows you to create random groups to make group work quicker and help with classroom management by making sure the same students dont always work together. Just choose the class and the number of groups you want to break the class into, and a list of the groups will appear. The groups are even given optional names that can help spark students creativity.
