Highlights from Imagine K12's Educator Night

I was late to ImagineK12's educator night. I had Lego league, but still managed to get to Mountain View in time to see a few off the presentations and I got to talk to several of the teams.
I hope over the next couple of weeks to get a chance to talk to each of these great teams. Listening to their pitches is exciting because teachers need designers to think about the life of a teacher and how it could be improved.

Classwork a great system for viewing student work live in a 1:1 ipad environment. Allowing the teacher to see what each student is doing to facilitate assessment and real time feedback.

Netclick helps teachers convert thier existing slides into interactive tablet-based lessons.

EdPuzzle is a great tool for adapting existing video to your classes needs. You can select a portion of a video, add narration and annotations, and include quiz questions. This is a great program to help people who might not be comfortable making video to flip their class.


Kodable is a fun platform to teach programming fundamentals in a nearly text-free environment. I tried
it out and I loved the approach. I can't wait to give this to the kindergarteners and the first graders.
