- Remind Now Allows You To Record Homework Reminders
This is a pretty cool addition for those of you who have Remind on your smartphone (iTunes, Android). You can, as the video shows, record your student assignments for your kids to hear rather than read. You can also attach assignments if...
- How To Use Qr Codes In The Classroom
My teacher students were rather eager to learn about how to use QR codes in the classroom for homework or other uses. So after class I created the video above to show how to use it. I explain all the steps from creating a webpage for your...
- Qr Codes For Homework
So I am starting a little experiment with QR codes. While I had seen them before I was introduced to them in a big way this summer when I was working on apps for teachers and students. So now my students see the code below when they log into Blackboard....
- Remind101 Iphone App
One of the sites that I have loved this year is Remind101.com which lets teachers text (without ever knowing the kids' phone numbers) reminders for assignments, tests, etc. I always set it at the time I make the assignment as you can set the...

My Homework App
I have become an avid user of Evernote from everything for notes teachers give me in the hallway to shopping lists from my wife. It can be accessed from iPhone, Android and the web. But for my students I think they need something that looks like their course schedule.
So today I noticed that NotAnotherHistoryTeacher had a reference to MyHomework. So I checked it out! It, as you can see from the video, allows students to set up their classes with pertinent information (subject, place, etc.) as well as giving them a calendar to set the information (although I am still waiting for any group - even Evernote - to attach to it an alarm (can anyone help me) so, for example, the homework would go off to remind the kids (although I do use Remind101 to do this, but it doesn't come from their calendars).
At any rate, MyHomework can be accessed from an iPhone and an Android and when the kids are home they can look at it on their laptops. The video shows one how to set up the app on one's phone. There is also a blog - probably a feature more for the teachers, but it is nice for students to look at when setting up an account.
