#EdTech Recommendation

Appear.in – lets you communicate in the most natural way; seeing the person you’re talking to, hearing their voice and taking in all their body language.

How can you use appear.in in the classroom? 6 ways… 

1. Talking to students in another country in a language class

2. Playing Kahoot! quizzes with other classes

3. Allowing students to call into class when they’re not able to get to school (because of illness, disabilities, snow, security threats, etc.)

4. Tutoring students when they’re home

5. Meeting with students and parents

6. Communicating with students during group tasks or projects, where students work in different rooms around school.
