Teacher's Wire allows you to visually document student learning and report to parents via email. It does cost $3.99 but I feel it is well worth it. You can put in your check list and then set up your students. Then as you put in your data you can email updated data to parents. Takes a little to set up but has been nice to keep parents in the know.
I have used pages on my ipad. I would have a + or - sign for how they did under their initials. I would also take quick notes and then was able to send through email to different people. This seemed to work because then I could have paras use it as well.
I have used the app Numbers on my iPad to track reading comprehension scores. It allows me to put the story in and the score that the student achieved. It also allows me to put in notes with the score so that I can document why the student got the score that they did. I can also share that information with teachers and parents.
Ok, so I don't know how helpful this is going to be because I can't think of the name of the app (Or whatever it was!), but thought I would share anyway (Just in case anyone else knows what I'm talking about, maybe you can remind me what it's called, haha!)... When I was in grad school, one of my professors used this program where she could instantly create a poll that was incorporated into her powerpoint, and we would respond by texting our answers to her. The results would be anonymously reported onto the powerpoint via a chart, graph, whatever she chose. Then, if anyone wanted to expand on their answers, they could, but originally, no one knew who said what. She did it to check our understanding of the material and also to start discussions. At the time, we thought it was the coolest thing ever (I'm sure there's been something way more awesome created by now though.). Either way, does anyone else have any idea what I'm talking about??? Haha!

ReplyDeleteI have used pages too, but not for data collection. I should definitely try that!
DeleteThis sounds like a great idea! A couple of my teachers use Pages pretty regularly, so I'll have to make sure to share this with them! Thanks!!!
