Teacher's Pick gives you the ability to randomly and uniquely choose students without having to rely on memory, cups of craft sticks or flash cards. Just add your class names and the students in each class. Teacher's Pick keeps track of which students are active, inactive (already chosen) or absent and gives you options to pick a student from the active group or pick from the full group (active or inactive). At the end of the day or week just touch a button and all of the students present are returned to active status.

The Pick Me! app is the perfect tool for teachers searching for a way to track formative assessment. Pick Me! will randomly pull a students name for you to call on and after they answer the question you record whether or not it was correct using the thumbs up or incorrect using thumbs down. The data is saved and ready to export to your email account at the end of class. With different settings, you can set it to remove students that answer questions correctly or leave them in for additional chances. Simply load your roster and you’re ready to go! Pick Me! was developed by teachers for teachers.

Remind101 provides a safe way for teachers to text message students and stay in touch with parents. It allows you to message your entire class of students and improve parent involvement. Teachers never see students' phone numbers, and students never see theirs. Students and parents join by sending a text message. As a safety precaution, only one-way messaging is permitted. Schedule text messages to be sent later for tests. A recent Harvard study said teacher family communication increased the odds a student completed their homework by 42% (source: http://r101.co/9e07)
