When looking for new and interesting web based apps, I found one I really liked for many reasons. The app I am sharing is called My Homework Student Planner, and it is great for both students and teachers alike. I think this app would be most beneficial for middle and senior year students, as those in elementary seldom have homework assignments. Students and teachers can use this app to keep track of their calendar, classes, teachers, assignments and announcements. The purpose of this app is to help students organize, take responsibility for and stay on track of their lives. Because of the increase of online activity, I think an app to organize information is more beneficial to students than having them use a paper agenda book. I believe that students, as well as most teachers, would use this app rather than writing in a book because it is engaging for them. The other thing I really like about this app is that teachers can link their information to the students. Teachers can automatically put in updates and reminders so the students can just follow that has been provided for them. I think this would be great in Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) classrooms. Ensuring that students are accountable for their own behaviour is crucial, and this app puts the responsibility in the students hands.
Below I have included screenshots from the website myhomeworkapp.com.
This app would be super useful Jordana! I agree with you that it would work well in a senior or middle years classroom. I think that this would be of great use in BYOD!
