One of the ideas from the video with Monica Burns is the app Educreations. You can use it as a Smart board or just as a regular board. If I can use it as an incentive for the students to participate more in given answers and ideas. In Educreations you are able to insert pictures as well as record your sessions to show them later. The students can use them the same way when they work and groups and if they forgot what they were saying when working on a problem they can play the clip and listen to it. The best part is that it is FREE.
I got this app on my ipad and really like the possibilities for assessment. The record option and send to e-mail or drop box will allow teachers to assess verbal and written comments on authentic assessments.
