One window to rule them all!

 HAPARA 

The one to rule them all, the full potential of HAPARA can only be unleashed by using it and practicing. During today's lesson we experienced what is like to be a student and got to use a Chromebook. Between small screens and no mouse I came to appreciate the challenges my students have to deal with when working on any assessment from their CB's.

One of the takeaways for me today will be to be more empathetic with students when they do work for me in their little, tiny screens with limited buttons and software capabilities. Chromebooks are great still but again, this is the opinion of a guy using a regular size screen with a cordless mouse.




The almighty powers of HAPARA expands from class engagement management to work control all under one ample umbrella.


Other software we explored today was "Explain Everything" used the iPad for it and experienced a new way to interact and create new content for students. The downside of it is the price per students.

There is always a use for new software in our schools but this is just a new one for me, I know that there are many but this one is already being used by primary teachers. Good  experience and great flow.
