As the end of the academic year approaches, educators have their plates full of a plethora of tasks and responsibilities that demand their attention. Classroom technology, such as Vivi, can be a powerful resource to help alleviate some of the pressure.
Here are the top 3 ways educators can leverage Vivi to build capacity, save time, improve student engagement, and ultimately, navigate the end-of-year craziness with ease:
- Keep Students on Track During EOY Testing with Clocks & Timers
With Vivi’s Clocks and Timers feature, educators can display an analog or digital clock, a stopwatch, or a timer on the home screen of the Vivi app, making it fast and easy to get started with testing facilitation. This alleviates the pressure of managing time while balancing all the other tasks associated with testing.
- Check in on Student Well-being with Emoji Entry
Test anxiety is real. Vivi’s Emoji Polls are a great way to help educators gauge where students are mentally and emotionally at the start of class. With Vivi’s Emoji Entry– much like a virtual mood meter – students are able to share their current mental state by using a wide range of emojis when they enter the room. Based on what they share, educators can offer them resources and/or personalized support to meet their needs– such as the built-in Wellness option which contains numerous Headspace meditations to help students reboot, recenter, and be ready for the upcoming lesson or exam.
- Celebrate Student Learning with Share from Anywhere with Student Control
When it comes to end-of-year projects, senior showcases, and science fairs, Vivi’s Share from Anywhere with Student Control feature can make the process of sharing work with the class a breeze. This feature allows students to share their work without the need for cords, cables, or wires. Rather, students can use their personal devices (and even phones) to share their work easily on the classroom screen with one click, while still allowing teachers to preview content.
This feature not only empowers students to take control of their learning, but it also enables students to actively engage in the classroom by sharing and comparing their work with others.
When leveraged effectively, Vivi can be an incredibly useful classroom tool to save teachers’ time, build their capacity, and improve student engagement, especially during the busy end-of-year season. By using Vivi’s instructional tools, educators can spend less time managing technology and more time focused on what they love – teaching students.
