Here are some new useful apps created for teachers:

Also with Seesaw students could store and post their best works and share with their parents. In the same time, teachers could provide examples of their students’ strengths and weaknesses to their parents.

Teach Learned Lead

 

Teach Learned Lead kind of social media for teachers, where they could meet like-minded colleagues all over the country. Teachers could share their experience, or search colleagues with relevant grade or subject. They could start discussion, share lessons, plans, ideas, or career advice. Really useful professional app.

Kahoot is fun. I've used it as a review game for my social studies class from time to time. The kids like it.
