Language Magazine has compiled a list of new products to help teachers and students in and out of the classroom
Activate System
Made by: Lightspeed
Website: https://www.lightspeed-tek.com
Launch Date: June 2017
Price: Please contact Lightspeed by visiting the website or calling (800) 732-8999.
The new Activate System from Lightspeed is backed by more than 20 years of research showing that whole-room classroom audio significantly reduces off-task time, teacher redirection, and teacher absenteeism. Using the combination of a wearable microphone and multiple two-way audio pods, teachers can support student-centered learning by monitoring students’ group conversations without changing the group dynamic by hovering. For direct instruction, the system ensures clarity of teachers’ instructions and allows teachers to address small collaborative groups individually.
Each audio pod also works as a microphone that students can use to share their insights with the whole class. Using the new Activate app, educators can capture and share audio and video, providing authentic evidence of student learning as well as a coaching resource for teachers. Teachers can then share these videos with coaches and peers for feedback.
TypeTastic
Made by: TypingMaster
Website: www.typingmaster.com
Launch date: August 2017
Price: Free version and Ad-Free School Version (School version is available for free until the end of 2017)
Typing Master offers typing software and solutions for schools, corporations, and consumers, serving more than four million monthly users globally. In their latest course, TypeTastic, specially designed for elementary school students, learning is based on pedagogical games, focusing on key memorization through color coding and letter grouping, hand-eye coordination, writing words, and building fluency.
Created with feedback from classroom teachers, it brings a new and different approach to teaching beginning typists, in that it begins instruction by having students use just one finger instead of all ten. In addition to TypeTastic, Typing Master offers the Typing Quest keyboarding courses for schools and TypingTest.com, the number one website for testing typing skills.
