hi I'm Rebecca hines welcome to our very first episode
of Te(a)chronology. In this series I will be sharing
free tools that you can use to get the most out of every little scrap
technology you have in the classroom
We're going to start this first episode with
class to Egypt now this is a tool that i've seen. used across the country
in high school classes in elementary classes
and everybody's using it today much the way it was designed which is as a
classroom management tool
but I'm gonna suggest that you think about how you can also use this to keep
track tibet
other data that we need in it the simplest fashion possible
class schedule allows you to customize behaviors and I'll show you how just a
moment
but not only does it let you use your computer it lets you push
it right out to your smart devices
cell phones et cetera so if I
setup my behaviors I can cope then
right from my hand held device
I can walk around the classroom I can ask its or all
assessment questions and I can document whether or not they answered correctly
at the into the class period I'll have a chart created showing me
who answered correctly what percentage if kids knew that concept for today
and it's really easy to get started so let's take a look
let me give you a quick tour how you might get started in class to jail
as always we were starting with new program the first thing we need to do
is to sign up so teachers to try it now
click on here and we'll in our love our information what you have
registered your account which is an easy process you gonna come to the main class
to OJ page
and the first thing you'll do yes create a class
when you click you'll see just how easy it is to use this free tool
so I'm going to go in quickly just puttin anything
to show you an example I'm gonna call this
third period and
automatically I get a prompt to enter my student names
as fast as I can type them
a character is created noticed also that I can just copy and paste my entire
class list in here and it will generate an entire class full of avatars
that completed I'm going to click Next
you see this is the tool
that I mentioned is customizable bypass
in this is where your expertise comes in the program was created
for behavior management but we can use it for academics for monitoring
I P goals whatever I imagine nation can
conjure so right now let's say I want to use this for an
oral assessment tool and we have been talking
abouts my toe sis in a science class
so I don't know really need these other behaviors
and in fact they may get in the way have my coding
so should get rid of some things I might keep on task
I might keep participating persistence but I'm gonna get rid of team work today
because we're not doing something with teamwork
I'm gonna get rid of working hard secular semana persistence
and I may even get rid a 70's that let's at our out
so a let's say defined it might tell sis
I mean it's safe maybe up simply walking around
asking students to define my toe sis
when I get get ready because the behavior i click yes or no the student
to do it and so I'm going to customize my positive
and I customize my negative behaviors because again
i'm looking at academics so maybe I don't need all these other things
cluttering my screen
I do wanna put in
my academic behavior that a monitoring
saw save
could and could not and I'm going to say
and close so now I have
added minute class
third period and I'm gonna go in and coat those behaviors
using what I've just created remember I can do this from my phone
or my iPad or if I don't have either of those things
I can just use my computer so I asked Beth
to define my toe sis she could or could not do it
its but say that she did I'm gonna get for
her point I ask Alisha
to define my toe sis who he couldn't do it so he does not get a point
I don't have to have this showing on the screen but it does let me
code my data sets a class is over I asked everyone to respond
I automatically get a chart showing
its the percentage of kids in my class who could
define my tests and if you look on the left you can see
I even get a break down for individual students
so whether you using this as a tool for students
whether using it to all to share with parents which is also an option you see
a penny have parent accounts
of you just using it as a simple way to track behaviors
or academics make last day Joe up our
your classroom
so if you're looking for and easy tool to start with this year
I recommend class stage out and what do using it for behavior or academics
I do recommend that you put the app on what your handheld devices
after you signed up for your account it won't run on the app
if you don't have your class schedule account already established so take a
look
and get started today we'll see you next time
