Classroom Assessment on Your iPad!

Do you have a personal iPad that you're hoping to use in innovative ways in your classroom?  Now you can use your iPad to manage and track your students' progress this year with a great new app called Markbook.

Markbook is a class management tool that many schools have purchased for teacher use on the school network.  Markbook allows tracking of student assessments, creation of seating plans, and much more.

Now the makers of Markbook have announced that their iPad app is free for educators until September 30.  Visit the App Store on your iPad and type "markbook" into the search bar.  In seconds, you will have a fully functional classroom management system on your iPad, with free updates for this entire school year.

Contact your school's site administrator and/or principal for more information about school based purchases of Markbook to install on your school network.
