There are a couple of new teacher apps that can streamline creating groups, seating charts, tracking discussion participation, etc. Versatility and ease are the hallmarks of these teacher apps. Don't work hard; work smart. Take it from this beach bum, you can do some important tasks quicker and easier.

Goal

To introduce attendees to two apps that help organize students and can track participation easily. Students will work with the apps using a few students in their class and see how it can help keep the classroom and decisions easily organized. Come ready to explore possibilities to make your life a little easier. Both of the apps have a free component.
