Time-Saving Apps for the Busy Teacher

We all "Get by with a little help from our friends". Sometimes, this may be a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, or maybe even just a snuggle with your dog.

But let's face it, snuggling your pup won't get those papers graded. Ol' Charlie can't write your curriculum for you. Sometimes we need a little help from our technology friends. Here our my two favorite apps so you spend less time planning and more time on the couch with your pooch.

OH BookWidgets where would I be without your Widgetry? Your easy process streamlines tests and study guides. This is the app that should be a staple for all teachers. Create your own puzzles, flashcards, planners, worksheets, and so much more! This really is a must-have.

The content is sent electronically which helps streamline the process between teacher and student. It also creates a way for the student to step into the 21st century and learn in a way that is required in this day in age.

You can even track individual student's progress via the class dashboard.  

Pricing is yearly and shouldn't break the bank too much either.

App #2 is not as flashy and in-depth as BookWidgets but it does some hefty time saving in a simple way. Grade Ticker is a simple straightforward app that keeps track of grades. Grade ticker is a simple tool for teachers to keep track of point deductions as you grade papers and exams.
