Computer and Ipad apps in education could become very useful tools if used for the correct purposes. For example, for students particular apps could help them organize their schedules and assignment for their classes. I use a checkoff list app that I create a list of my homework assisngment at the beginning of every week with the due date next to them and simply go down the list and complete all of my assignments in order. This method has really helped me reduce stress in my life and saved me time as a quick reminder of what I have going on.
For Teachers there are several apps that allow them to create folders for each student and allow them to log any discipline problems or missing assignments.
The LanSchool Teacher's Assistant App is an amazing app that I found. With Ipads and laptops taking over our education system, it is very simple for distractions to be created during a lecture system in our classrooms. With this app however, teachers can reduce student distractions by blanking screens, limiting applications and limiting web browsing on student computers. This helps direct student attention from their computer to the teacher. It is also useful for monitoring student activity within a classroom setting, the Thumbnail feature allows you to view all screens as well as see the current application and website that the students are running.
The app is also great for student and teacher private interaction. Students can be quickly polled during a lecture with true/false or multiple choice questions.
Students can also silently request help from the teacher. A small question mark appears on the thumbnail with the student questions.
The Teacher’s Assistant will automatically discover student computers on the instuctor's Ipad or computer notifying them of any computer or Ipad users in the area.
