NowComment makes it easy to have rich, engaging discussions of online documents no matter how large (or small) your class or collaboration group.
Backchannel chat is a great way to get all students participating in a discussion! Students head to your chat and can post almost like in an old school chat room format. It gives a voice to students who may be tentative to raise their hand and share and documents a really great dialogue!
MATH ALERT! MATH ALERT! This technology is specifically targeted toward MATH class (We know...very rare, very rare indeed).
Turn your pen and paper drawings into digital objects with your webcam or phone. Or draw on a tablet and see the big picture on your computer.
Reorganize, resize, and mark up your drawings. Upload and annotate PDF documents, or arrange your ideas on virtual pages to export as PDFs.
Share and edit your boards with others in real time. Chat, audio, and video calls are built in.
Create an interactive and digital sticky note board. This is a MEGA versatile tool! The entire class can collaborate on one board, or students can make individual boards or share them with their small group. Padlet includes several layouts like freestyle (great for any purpose), columns (great for KWLs) and flow (great for storyboards!). Students can add text, links, video and images to their posts easily.
You may already have been using Nearpod for great interactive lessons and formative assessments, but did you know there is now a Collaborate feature? It works similarly to Padlet and lets students post sticky notes to respond to prompts in real time. We have a district subscription so just ask us the login info if you need it!
