The Answer Pad

The Answer Pad is a website/iPad solution I've blogged about before that is great for student assessment.  This is done by having teacher's use the website/interface to create students and classes and then let the students take a test/quiz on their iPad.  The teachers would then get instant real-time results.

However, that's just one great feature of The Answer Pad as I was lucky to receive a demo on their latest update called, Go Interactive.  Go Interactive allows students to use their iPad to respond/answer teacher's questions.  Basically, it turns an iPad into an interactive clicker device, where teachers get instant results.  What makes this such a useful feature is the way teachers can assess student's learning by some of the handy ways in which they can respond to a question, such as: yes/no, T/F, text, thumbs up/down, etc etc.

This is great for students who are shy and don't want to raise their hands to ask a question.  Now, all they have to do is type in a question on their iPad and a teacher will see who asked it.  Also, this is a great tool to engage students and Guided Learning.  This could be a great tool to use when watching a class video or reading a class story and wanting to get instant feedback.  I can even see this being used as a back channel chat.

Some other great features w/ Go Interactive is the ability to use it to answer any type of question for any subject such as: Spelling, Geography (there is a map template that can be drawn on), Math (interact graph paper to draw/plot data), drawing, etc etc.

Benefits of Buying a Certified Used Car

Earlier, a customer had to make a decision on buying a used vehicle solely based on a dealer's words and whatever little knowledge the customer had. However, manufacturer certified used cars have really changed the way customers approach the used car market these days. The certification ensures that the used car has been thoroughly inspected for safety and performance, has been refurbished or repaired. An extended warranty is also provided on the used car, which helps customers in making a better choice.

Benefits of Certified Used Cars

Price

Certified used cars from a manufacturer or dealer certainly save you from paying extra. An unauthorized dealer car can trick you into paying more than what a car is really worth. However, a certified used car comes with the assurance that the price quoted for the car is in accordance with its condition, age and distance covered.

Better Resale Value

Certified used cars have a better resale value than non-certified ones. If you intend to resell your used car, you need not worry of its resale value at all.

High Performance Standards

To earn the certification, used cars need to comply with certain quality and performance standards. Therefore, any certified used car assures high performance.

More Reliable

As compared to the non-certified used cars, the certified ones are more reliable. These cars carry an extended warranty assuring that any issue with the car during the warranty period will be taken care of.

KnowRe

KnowRe is an interesting new (beta) site for learning Math that I just found about from Larry Ferlazzo. This is a nice place where students can learn at their own pace and earn rewards such as digital badges for accomplishments.  A nice feature for teachers is that is is aligned to common core standards and teacher can track and get real-time results on student data.

Story Creator

Story Creator is a wonderful iOS app for digital storytelling that I found out about from Sue Gorman.  This app allows users to create interactive books that contain: audio, video, text, and images.  One of my favorite features is that it helps students learn how to read by highlighting text as it is read.

Stack the States

Stack the States is a wonderful iOS app for learning about different facts and shapes of the 50 US states.  The game is simple in where a student tries to answer a question about a state and then stack them up to reach a "finish line" (think Tetris)  Once the line is a hit the user moves on to the next board.  This game helps teach students about the: US capitals, nicknames, state shapes, Geography, and more.
