- 
 
- 
 Hi Cathy, Y5 teacher from Doncaster
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 Hi Sophie! Thanks for joining :) 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
A1 : iBooks so I could read until I got rescued 
 
 
 
- 
 for me  because I could track and trace my magical adventures 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 ooooh tough one. Would have to go for YouTube or Apple Music. Am I allowed a solar charger though? 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 A1.  Would have to be Yakit, just to make lots of friends come alive from silly objects :)
 
 
 
- 
  thank you for having me :) always hoping to learn a bit and connect. How's SF?
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
Ooh I would say iTunes or Amazon music 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 oooh...battery saving app so I could take pictures and listen to music for longer 
 
 
 
- 
 AdobeDraw for me. After watching  's tutorial I'm inspired to learn how to draw using iPad! 
 
 
 
- 
A1. Email to ask for help. Or iBooks to read. Or camera to snap the scenery. Can't decide!  
 
 
 
- 
A1- Twitter. To be able to network with others and keep all posted on my progress/ to use if help is needed 
 
 
 
- 
 Awesome! All good here in SF! :) 
 
 
 
- 
  please share the tutorial Ali? 
 
 
 
- 
 it'd have to be iMovie so I could document my experience with ease and it'd look great too! 
 
 
 
- 
Sorry, I forgot my reason! YouTube - plenty of entertainment, but also practical. Must be a 'build a raft' tutorial somewhere! 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 ooh yes, forgot about music! 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 A1: it'd have to be iMovie so I could document my experience with ease and it'd look great too! 
 
 
 
- 
I'm Mark, a Dudley secondary maths teacher looking to innovate with all things ICT education related :-)  
 
 
 
- 
a1 : a book app , kindle/iBooks so I can read! 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 like you're thinking with that one! 
 
 
 
- 
 as you are playing the more than one Jenn (ha ha) would also go for   
 
 
 
- 
 welcome Mark! Strong name!  🎉🎉
 
 
 
- 
A1: I would have spotify. Music is fun :) 
 
 
 
- 
Forgot reason-music keeps me happy and has lots of positive memories associated. 
 
 
 
- 
Or...paper fifty three  to get in some sketching!  
 
 
 
- 
 definitely some kind of music app for me  
 
 
 
- 
 like a modern day Wilson from Castaway? 
 
 
 
- 
  I did consider this but thought I would go slowly mad...
 
 
 
- 
 A1. I'd need an app for music. I can cope without people but def need my music!
 
 
 
- 
A1: Take Google Street View Bec. Using street view I can walk around the world    
 
 
 
- 
 exactly, but I could make loads :) 
 
 
 
- 
   you could get to hang out with a chipmunk AND Barry White 🙈 
 
 
 
- 
   yes!! I love that one too! So many uses 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
  or flipink app   so I could doodle my feelings and pop in 
 
 
 
- 
 YouTube! You can learn anything from there... 
 
 
 
- 
 Simon Lewis from Carlow, Ireland here. Late and doing about 6 different things at once!
 
 
 
- 
Somehow mine just end up sounding extra Scottish... https://t.co/5Bhrqp6BJa
- 
 - 
   you could get to hang out with a chipmunk AND Barry White 🙈 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
Can I have an app that allows me extra apps?  
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 haha I thought so. Makes sense 😀 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 A1:Bear Grlyss-Bear Essentials App,this man knows how to survive on a desert👍🏻 it can be your survival guide

 A2: I love using Plickers. Dead easy to use and set up. Only need one iPad/tablet to use it too. 
 
 
 
- 
 A2: it's still  for me. Can either call on a ready made quiz or assess on the fly. Easy! 
 
 
 
- 
A2: not an app but   quick and easy AfL, my favourite , 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 for me  not just a test but collaborative & individual too  so many trying to b good with 1
 
 
 
- 
A2. Kahoot definitely wins there, fun, colourful and easy 
 
 
 
- 
LOVE  - can be used without the app, but such an engaging concept. Kids of all ages love it 
 
 
 
- 
One for me that often goes forgotten is PingPong Spot Networking. Super handy 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
   But it's an island, how far have you got to walk? 😉 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
Quizlet is great too, especially for revision activities 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
Q2 Seesaw. Can be used across the curriculum and has some great 'built in' features 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
A2 : Socrative  - the reports it produces. Google Forms - spreadsheets. Kahoot - fun 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 not sure if it qualifies but my kids are loving kahoot. Observed this week and the observer joined in! 
 
 
 
- 
  so tired tonight I was wondering where the questions were.  Doh!!
 
 
 
- 
 but it's not an app!!!! Lol   🙋🏻🙋🏻🙋🏻👍
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
  Logic Squares  recently tried with 7yr old great maths thinking required.
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
  is my favourite at the moment. Love the Draw On feature 
 
 
 
- 
   Harsh  *cancels 5 day booking.
 
 
 
- 
 only really used  but keep hearing plickers (?) mentioned at various teacher gatherings. 
 
 
 
- 
A2-  quick and easy to use quizzes to progress check 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 zaption with their live presenter mode - allows asking task relevant questions off the hoof
 
 
 
- 
A1: Music! I would definitely need to have a music app, Spotify with loads of albums synced for offline listening  
 
 
 
- 
 Q2  I love , have to make the MPQ questions carefully, have good outliers to really test knowledge
 
 
 
- 
 PingPong is superb. I've heard a few people have issues with it being blocked by their network filters though. 
 
 
 
- 
 Q2 e.g. bookwidgets, showbie, exit ticket 
 
 
 
- 
 got to be Pic collage or YAKit then I can pretend someone is talking to me! 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
A2: Kahoot is my favorite bec. kids like so much and fun 
 
 
 
- 
 oooooooohhhhh wwwwww luv a bit of pingpong 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
A2. Padlet - if you create it with that intention.  
 
 
 
- 
  I need to look into this further. Saw a brief demo at a TM- looked good 
 
 
 
- 
A2: Kahoot, As no app is needed. quick and easy + community of quiz makers means you often find a quiz that fits. 
 
 
 
- 
  yes at times! Especially Wales it seems!!! Lol 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
   *fills calendar so cannot take booking 
 
 
 
- 
A2  good for making quizzes  
 
 
 
- 
Another vote for  from me. I have used it in teacher conferences with over 100 delegates and it worked perfectly. 
 
 
 
- 
 A2  I love both  and  to gamify my classroom. quick,easy and lots of fun
 
 
 
- 
Q2 - I find Quizlet very easy to use, and the learners seem to like it! 
 
 
 
- 
A2 Another vote for  from me. I have used it in teacher conferences with over 100 delegates and it worked perfectly. 
 
 
 
- 
 'Show me' because children can add their explanations to a ready-made group so I can easily access them all 
 
 
 
- 
 Plickers is proper cool for a one iPad/device classroom Jenna 
 
 
 
- 
A2 - Kahoot! Students LOVE it and it's super easy for teachers to customize :) 
 
 
 
- 
 A2. Fav quiz apps:  &  Why: Device/platform agnostic, gamification elements, detailed reports 
 
 
 
- 
   Strong answer!  Was going to leave hashtag off on purpose then :)
 
 
 
- 
Great shout Laura!   https://t.co/zdLbYPC2a3
- 
 - 
 Q2  I love , have to make the MPQ questions carefully, have good outliers to really test knowledge
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 
 you need to know the magic port to open ;) 
 
 
 
- 
  brilliant for displaying mastery as Ss can create quizzes for younger/other Ss 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
  apologies I lost the plot then & phone rang & person in house speaking thought I was playing Sudoku!! 🙈🙈
 
 
 
- 
  the trailers are very simple to use and it's free to download on any device bought after 2013. 
 
 
 
- 
  apologies I clicked tweet too soon now deleted ***shamed*** 
 
 
 
- 
   were fun to try as well for class without devices :(
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 A1. JustEat app - and hope they deliver to desert islands :D 
 
 
 
- 
 ooh hadn't thought of that. Great idea!! Thank you 😄 
 
 
 
- 
 haha I figured that out 😀 
 
 
 
- 
A3: any  apps , they revolutionise professional collaboration 
 
 
 
- 
A3 : Google Keep, Google Docs, Google Forms..theme here 
 
 
 
- 
They only deliver to dessert islands   😂 https://t.co/gEUhcRu4lQ
- 
 - 
 A1. JustEat app - and hope they deliver to desert islands :D 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
A2: used to be a fan of  but i think i am shifting towards  and  
 
 
 
- 
I love  just now, quite cool that it only requires the one device! Nice for schools on a tight budget!  
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 A3:   - class management. Seesaw- for creating a work portfolio etc. And of course Twitter! 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
A3-  It has lots of free resources available to use, adapt and magpie from for sessions for all ages 
 
 
 
- 
A2:  kids love it, gives you an idea of where they are and what holes to plug 
 
 
 
- 
   thanks for the mention! I love plickers for speed but Socrative is also great! 
 
 
 
- 
A3 : for the why - all in same place 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
Drive - determined to get our school paperless planning and it is so easy to share with peers 
 
 
 
- 
A3 I'm not an app person but I generally recommend Google Apps and ToDoIst as my go to apps. I also like Signupgenius 
 
 
 
- 
 got to be   it's the master of all things to make create, show, share -plus high expectations
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
Always good to ask the Sts to make the quizzes guys. Change activity from LOTS to HOTS 
 
 
 
- 
   and  for sharing and organising all your documents
 
 
 
- 
A3. Twitter is a top one for me 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 I am using a master Padlet to link other padlets, very versatile 
 
 
 
- 
 Notifyed is a useful app. A one-way communication tool which allows you to send important messages to classes. 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 Evernote Scannable, scan docs on the fly. OneNote, organise you kids with ClassNotebook! 
 
 
 
- 
A3: google keep app. Makes it easier for teachers to stay organized with to-do lists. 
 
 
 
- 
I think we might see the word 'GOOGLE' a lot in the next few tweets but check out the new collab   
 
 
 
- 
  yes Plickers of brill have used order staff meetings & in class with as young as Y1 
 
 
 
- 
 A3:  is the best app for planning and tracking IMO. Also  for giving feedback; so quick and easy. 
 
 
 
- 
 I'd recommend  to transform planning and streamline calendar & help manage everyday admin e.g. forgot hwk 
 
 
 
- 
3- Also check out zaption. Really fun way to create interactive quizzes/ comprehension tasks. Especially with clips 
 
 
 
- 
 still a strong response though - thanks Simon! 
 
 
 
- 
A2: different apps depending on the purpose   sorry for late start Rachel, year 4, Sydney
 
 
 
- 
A3 Recommend Post-it plus. I scribble notes all the time and this allows me to digitise and therefore minimise risk of loss 
 
 
 
- 
 Showbie is also the first app I show new staff for workflow, feedback and generally getting organised 
 
 
 
- 
 A3.  - espec. with new distribute feature,  - great all round classroom management app, 
 
 
 
- 
 is a great for many things. Uploading work, peer/self-assessment, idea wall etc. Great visuals too 
 
 
 
- 
 A3:If you're a kindergarten or a primary teacher,  ,   for digital portfolios
 
 
 
- 
  A3    app, students in Music/ Dance/ Drama can record/ peer/ self assess and teacher can add too.
 
 
 
- 
 LOTS = lower order thinking skills, HOTS = higher order thinking skills 
 
 
 
- 
   googleforms, formative feedback in Docs simple tests - Kahoot and practice skills with Quizlet 
 
 
 
- 
 is a great tool for many things. Uploading work, peer/self-assessment, idea wall etc. Great visuals too 
 
 
 
- 
 have you tried Office Lens and Scanner Pro? Much better than Scannable 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 love Post-It Plus. It's great how you can add notes to boards afterwards too. 
 
 
 
- 
 I love plickers and . Socrative good for non tech types to set quiz up in excel then upload 
 
 
 
- 
 we love a bit of post it plus 
 
 
 
- 
  A3 also Google Classroom to set flipped tasks- can see who has accessed and add teacher feedback once handed in.
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 love a bit of Post-it-plus mate, as you know 😇 
 
 
 
-

- 
 
- 
Q4. There are lots of apps 2 support collaborative learning - what's your favourite? Examples?  https://t.co/gKoyR9ZyrL
 
 
 
- 
 Padlet - so many uses from sharing ideas to making a virtual working wall chn can access from home. 
 
 
 
- 
 completely - your introduction at  was timely 😊 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
  thank you- am going to give it a go after the hols 
 
 
 
- 
A4: Google Apps for Education, obviously. Padlet, explain everything whiteboard. All have one thing in common, very easy to use 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 A3: I'm with you  is a must for me also anything  
 
 
 
- 
A3:  because It's easy to share and work together 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
A4 : Minecraft can be good for collaborative stuff. 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
Q4 Just started with  last week. Big potential there. 
 
 
 
- 
A4. New  collaborative app is a game-changer 
 
 
 
- 
 A4: loads of great apps for this, but the new Collaborative Whiteboard by  is outstanding! 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
   is a genuinely transformational system. Introduced it in my school last year. 
 
 
 
- 
 A2-  quick and easy to use quizzes to progress check 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
A4-  Where children can collaborate and work together to create and write their own stories 
 
 
 
- 
A4 How about  for some global collab?  
 
 
 
- 
   definitely. Wouldn't think about using a paper planner again. 
 
 
 
- 
    havent used See Saw, will look into it this holiday, thanks fellas 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
A4. Padlet and Baiboard for me! 
 
 
 
- 
 give me a phonics app that's more effective than physical phonics 
 
 
 
- 
  Q4. any good recommendations for one / two device classes?
 
 
 
- 
A4 : Padlet for collaborating with schools on other side of the world -we used it with a school in Australia 
 
 
 
- 
 A4: is the most common platform to collaborate
 
 
 
- 
Google apps. Kids find it easy and love that they can see who is editing what - live 
 
 
 
- 
 I really like  & use it often - does it have new upgraded features to promote + collaboration? 
 
 
 
- 
  A4 Google Apps, love them!
 
 
 
- 
 Such a nice app and so simple to use Graham. 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 A4. Top collaborative apps: , , GAFE, 
 
 
 
- 
    cheers fellas will take a look definitely 
 
 
 
- 
Twitter for this reason. It's certainly helping me 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 A4: when it comes to collaboration, Padlet is my favorite! 
 
 
 
- 
 I'm in Australia! Woke up early 😊  Happy to collaborate. Bit harder this year in open plan!
 
 
 
- 
 I do like showbie too! Good shout 
 
 
 
- 
   how about  brilliant phonics game, online version better than app
 
 
 
- 
  Brandy Cabe - America Sign Language (1,2,3) TX Huge geek :) 
 
 
 
- 
   not heard of chatterkid! Thanks for the tip 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
A4: office365 has improved a lot and i think very useful. 
 
 
 
- 
Q5. What apps can be used to promote positive ethos & contact with parents. Examples of use?  https://t.co/4qnBOBlb5n
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 i really Like Kahoot - fun  4 review. Canvas 4 more formal assessments. Canvas allows video Kahoot doesn't :( 
 
 
 
- 
    it's chatterpix kids not chatterkid 😊 
 
 
 
- 
5- class dojo brilliant for this 
 
 
 
- 
  https://t.co/SAonKtoeUb
- 
 - 
  great demos on the website to show what it's capable of. Keeps clutter to a minimum- s's comments clickable
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 
Q5. What apps can be used 2 promote positive ethos & contact with parents. Examples of use?  https://t.co/hUkjLmZptQ
 
 
 
- 
A5: Has to be  even now during the holidays I am getting pics from parents, has changed my class 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 A4. Can't believe I forgot  &  - Both great tools for collaboration! 
 
 
 
- 
A5 :Class Dojo  -sending 'work selfies' home 
 
 
 
- 
A5-  Using it award points and address areas. Opportunity for parents to communicate with point awarder/ class teacher 
 
 
 
- 
A5: Probably obvious, but has a lot of positive use out of Class Dojo this year. Some parents have really responded to it 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 Google and Canvas are my top picks - see several below I am going to have to check out! 
 
 
 
- 
not really an app but I love the Airdrop function on iPads for this. Some great collaborative filmmaking!
 
 
 
- 
A5 - , of course! :) Especially now w/ School Story, Ts can share moments w all Ps, building a positive school culture 
 
 
 
- 
 has to be   The Big Ideas are brilliant too
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 Would say  is helping (does have glitches that need ironing out), but leap in the right direction! 
 
 
 
- 
I totally agree  collaborative writing on office 365 is great! 
 
 
 
- 
 A4: I am defiantly going to have to give  a go. Looked into it just not put it into place yet!  
 
 
 
- 
5- also I haven't used it yet but seesaw seems to be good. I think you can add in photos of work & it goes straight to parents 
 
 
 
- 
A5: I have a few parents who regularly contact me via Class Dojo, they like having easy contact to their child's teacher/tutor 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 Parents loved it. Led to improvement in quality of work too 
 
 
 
- 
 A4: is one of the best app,you can make your character speak in a silly voice,disco dance,wear make up.and come alive!
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
  I used to use post-it notes on the wall until I found . Great for brainstorming/ collaboration! 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
I like using Twitter for the dept to promote what we're doing. I also have a private account for class work. 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 Always afraid someone will ask when do I teach! Nah, not that many! 
 
 
 
- 
 I'll set up a padlet with my class then DM you the address so your's can respond. Sound ok? 
 
 
 
-
