If ever I start working in a classroom, since I work at a gym all day given that I am a PE Coach, I will definitely have to learn new apps that I can integrate into my google classroom. In this article I read more than 50 apps that integrate with google classroom, and although I am not a classroom teacher I worked with Brainpop the one year I taught, and my Master's classes have required I use apps to create assignments for projects. I did use Quizlet to create a quiz, however I was not able to use all its features since I was using the free version. One of my co-workers also recommended Pear Deck to me for presentations as she had gone to a training where the presenter was using it and she explained how it worked and it sounded rather interesting to use in your instruction. If I am ever given the opportunity to design instruction for a school district I hope all these articles I have curated will serve as an example to look back on when constructing curriculum.

Apple Classroom vs. Google Classroom

Apple Classroom vs. Google Classroom | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it
Apple Classroom was released in March 2016, but from things I read online, or hear when talking to other educators, I feel that it still gets mistakenly compared to Google Classroom. I can absolutely see why that happens. Both products have very similar names, and both were created to help solve technology problems in the classroom. However, the truth is, these two products could not be more different. So, in this post, I wanted to take some time to run through everything that Apple Classroom can do, and compare that to Google Classroom, in order to give you some ideas on how you can use these useful tech tools at your school.

August 11, 2014
This is the third post in a series of posts aimed at helping teachers and educators make the best out of Google Drive in classrooms. This series comes in a time when teachers are getting ready to start a new school year and hopefully will provide them with the necessary know-how to help them better integrate Google Drive in their teaching pedagogy. The two previous posts featured in this series were entitled consecutively "New Google Drive Cheat Sheet" and "Teachers Visual Guide to Google Drive Sharing". Today's post covers some interesting ideas and tips on how to go about using Google Drive in your classroom. This work is created by Sean Junkins from SeansDesk.
