Thread: iPhone Applications For Teachers

When I can't remember in which continent Thailand is.



When the students have to do some speed-math.



When I'm too lazy.



When the students do some work in their text books or work books.

Teacher Pal is a good one to download

I got a few good ones for ya:
- Evernote
- Quick Office
- Drop Box
- iBooks (you can put all your textbooks here if you have an iPad)
- Kindle
- Translate
- Dictionary (from dictionary.com) It does pronunciation as well, so no more need to study phonics!
- There's another app you can use to actually mark the roll. Pretty sweet! Shame I forgot the name.

Here a some default Apple apps:
- Calendar (my whole class timetable is here, along with my pay day reminder :D
- Reminders
- Notes

teacher pal hold up to class and it recognises students faces and marks the roll.....Also has a great marks calculator

Another two useful apps for classroom management are SeatCharter for recording who sits where, and Green Gradebook which you can sync with your Mac via Dropbox or iTunes. Teacher pal I hadn't heard of before, and might make SeatCharter redundant if it records locations too.
Update: i nearly forgot Siri which is getting better with every incarnation of iOS. Great for urgent search queries.

So you'd have to wave your phone in front of 20 students faces?

one stop english is quite handy. Lots of class ideas and games if you can't be bothered creating your own

^ Which would be the bulk of this forum, I guess.
