homework apps for teachers

35 of the BEST Educational Apps for Teachers (Updated 2024)

There are so many educational apps out there for students. As teachers, because of our busy schedules, choosing the right one can be a bit of a gamble, especially as it can take a while to set up in our classes.

This has certainly been the case for me.

I start the year intending to break out all the bells and whistles, only to end up getting bogged down in the everyday running of my classes. The thought of investing time in researching apps and setting them up seems too big a task.

In this post, I review 35 of the most popular and innovative apps for teachers.

They are not ranked in any particular order.

For easy reference, I have organized the reviews into the following sections:

• Classroom Management
• Learning and Assessment
• Augmented Reality

Which ones will you be using? Let me know in the comments!

Classroom Management Classroom Apps For Teachers

1. google classroom.

Google Classroom is excellent and can be learned in minutes, regardless of how tech-savvy you are. It has over 150 million active users around the world.

I have been using Google Classroom for a couple of years now, and it has revolutionized the way I teach.

It combines the best of all Google Workspace apps and consolidates a school’s tech stack into a unified solution.

This reduces cost, improves security, and saves time.

You can create assignments and announcements for individual classes, attach worksheets, slideshows, or weblinks (among other things), and set deadlines. When students complete work, it is automatically and securely saved to their Google Classroom class folders in their Google Drive (these are set up automatically).

You can mark/grade such submissions and return them to students for further work.

Students can post class comments for everyone within the classroom to see, promoting collaboration. Such comments can also be marked private if they only require teacher assistance.

For further reading, I have written a detailed post – The Definitive Google Classroom Review , which breaks down everything Google Classroom can do in detail based on my experiences.

2. Apple Classroom

While the name “ Apple Classroom ” suggests a similar app to Google Classroom, the two are vastly different solutions.

Apple Classroom is an app made for teachers and works as a student monitoring solution.

Available for iPad and Mac computers, it enables teachers to hold classes in a schoolroom, remotely, or through a combination of nearby and remote locations (called hybrid classes).

If you have Apple devices in your school or class, this app is fantastic. It allows you to monitor what students are doing on their devices and what other apps they have open (handy for sneaky game players!).

But that’s not all; you can even control their device! – great for behavior management .

Apple Classroom can be used to distribute and collect assignments from iPad devices easily, monitor student progress in educational iPad apps, collaborate one-on-one with students, and set up and manage collaboration between students.

On the surface, this seems like a simple app to dictate what students are doing, but it is way more. You can open apps or web pages on all devices and lock them so they can only see what you are controlling, an excellent idea for guided lessons.

Although only available on Apple devices, it is a great tool with a wide range of uses in the classroom. However, depending on the type of classes you want to create, it requires specific infrastructure .

iDoceo is fantastic if you use an iPad to manage your classes at school. It is only available on Apple devices—iPad, iPhone, and Mac.

I have used it for several years and would be lost without it!

Its is a comprehensive tool for teachers featuring a planner, diary, schedule, grade book, resource manager, and seating plan configurator (including my favorite…the randomizer !).

It integrates seamlessly with Google Calendar and iCal and offers advanced gradebook functionalities. You can even create classes and import class data from other sources.

The latest update even features ChatGPT and Dall-E integration, which allows you to create and improve content on your lesson plans and easily add engaging illustrations to any text.  

Another great feature of iDoceo is that you can add files and resources to your class bulletin boards and send individual and bulk emails to your students.

It is a great app that will definitely make your life easier.

iDoceo is available as a one-time purchase from the App Store and allows you to add an unlimited number of students and classes. It includes all features and costs $19.99 in the U.S. and £19.99 in the UK.

Vivi is awesome! It is a wireless presentation and screen mirroring tool that allows teachers and students to see the same screen on their devices.

It enables teachers to teach without being tethered to the front of the classroom, building a more interactive, collaborative, social classroom. It also allows students and teachers to annotate and save content in real-time.

Vivi is device agnostic, meaning it will work with any device, media, learning type, display, and any number of users and classrooms with no integrations necessary!

The heart of the Vivi solution is the Vivi Box, which connects directly to a Display and handles all of the communication between user machines and what is shown on the Display.

Vivi does not disclose pricing information for its products; you can contact here for a demo and quote.

It is an expensive solution that is typically purchased by schools rather than teachers. If your school does get it, I’m sure you will love it.

Flip is a free web and mobile app that students can use to record, edit, and share video assignments. It helps them verbalize their thoughts and encourages peer-to-peer learning.

Flip was formerly known as Flipgrid and was acquired by Microsoft in 2018.

All your students need to use Flip is a device with a camera.

Students today spend a significant amount of time on social media. Flip brings that ethos into the classroom, potentially transforming this enthusiasm into classroom engagement.

It also encourages those students who are less likely to contribute to the class discussion to weigh in and have a voice; we all have those students who give epic responses when spoken to one-on-one but are never able to share them openly with the class. Flip eliminates this!

Students can respond to homework questions or explain more complex ideas visually. They can even post YouTube-style reviews on books and videos watched in class or get feedback on what they’ve learned from a particular lesson.

I’ve seen it used by students recording news reporter-style videos, which was pretty cool.

6. ClassDojo

When I was researching for this article, my subscribers and Instagram followers suggested ClassDojo more than any other.

It’s a classroom behavior management reward system that allows teachers to give or take away points from students. Students receive +1 or -1 behavior points.

Unlike other behavior management systems that focus on nondescript gold stars, ClassDojo emphasizes positive feedback, and teachers can create their own targeted behaviors.

ClassDojo creates reports that can be shared with students and/or parents publicly or privately.

Each student has an avatar of a little monster (very apt in some cases!), which makes the app fun.

ClassDojo remains committed to keeping the app free and accessible to every teacher and student worldwide. However, the app offers additional connectivity features for parents for a fee.

Seesaw provides a digital platform for students, teachers, and parents to engage with each other and bridge the gap between the physical and virtual worlds in learning.

It brings together premium instructional tools and curriculum, two-way communication, deep learning insights & progress monitoring.

Students can create and submit work, including photos, videos, text, links, and PDFs, while teachers can set assignments, monitor progress, and provide feedback.

The Seesaw for Family feature lets parents access students’ work and communicate with teachers.

Here are some top reasons to use Seesaw:

Collaboration between home and school is essential in education. Seesaw provides students with an online portfolio where they can upload their best work to share with their parents and teachers. This brings out their strengths and areas for development.

I see this as a valuable tool for parent-teacher meetings. It helps parents avoid feeling excluded from their child’s learning and reduces the time teachers spend in contact with parents – all the work is there for them to see.

Seesaw has a starter plan that is free for teachers. More premium features can be unlocked with paid plans .

Remind is another parent contact app with a very good extra – your messages can be translated into 90+ languages. This eliminates the isolation experienced by non-native English-speaking parents.

It offers features like quick announcements, personalized messages, flexible and safe messaging, multi-device support, class management, and interactive tools. You can make class announcements, group chats, or contact individuals privately through the app.

Remind was acquired by ParentSquare in November 2023.

Its basic chat is free to send and receive messages, while more advanced features can be unlocked via the Remind Hub , which offers paid plans.

9. Wordwall

Wordwall makes creating your own resources and custom activities easy—quizzes, match-ups, word games, and more.

You can create interactives or printables using templates, choose from various visual styles and options, embed them on a website, assign activities to students, and share them with other teachers.

I have found that Wordwall saves preparation time, enhances class interactivity, reduces paper use, and allows for more personalized learning.

Tracking student performance is easy on its intuitive dashboard.

Wordwall offers a free plan that supports up to five activities with 18 standard templates. Paid plans support unlimited activities, printables, and more.

Zoom was relatively unknown until 2000. Its role in enabling remote communication during the pandemic propelled it into the Oxford Dictionary’s Words of the Year . It also won the Forbes Education Award in 2020.

Zoom is a powerful cloud video conferencing platform that has a dedicated solution for educational organizations . It can be used to communicate with your student body, alumni base, and the entire campus community using a single streamlined platform.

Educators can share lesson plans, give instructions, swap files, and communicate directly with the group or individuals via chat, all within the app. It also allows you to record and save video footage (for instance, of a visiting speaker that not all students/teachers can see) and share it later with a wider audience.

You can even create breakout rooms to allow students to study together for a test virtually.

I have even used it for flipped homework . I sent a video, which I wanted my students to debate for homework. In our next lesson, we reviewed their conversation and discussed the points raised.

Zoom scales easily for a larger audience, making it perfect for conducting IEP meetings , parent-teacher meetings, and guidance sessions or bringing entire faculty teams together.

It supports video webinars with up to 50,000 attendees, useful for town hall-style meetings and career development conferences.

Meetings can also be live-streamed on platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch.

Zoom’s free version supports unlimited one-to-one meetings with a 40-minute/100-participant limit. Education plans with additional features can be customized to meet any organization’s needs.

Here are more tips on Taking Attendance and Remote Teaching Using Zoom .

11. Dropbox

Dropbox has been around since 2007 and is an excellent alternative to Google Drive.

Where Google Drive allows you to create and edit G Suite, Dropbox lets you work with Microsoft 365 apps.

You can co-edit Excel, PowerPoint, and Word files in real-time and create new files and folders in Dropbox directly from Microsoft Teams channels and conversations.

Storing your teaching files remotely saves you from carrying around all sorts of drives. It also allows you to share files with students without filling their inboxes with huge attachments.

The basic free account gives you 2GB of storage.

My top tip: Use their referral scheme to invite your students, which gets you extra storage when they sign up. They will need it anyway if you are going to use it for your classes. Win!

Trello is an advanced to-do list app that syncs via the cloud across all devices, so you will always have access to your work schedule.

You can create multiple lists of tasks to be completed, upload images, and assign tasks to students, both individually and in groups (this is particularly useful when students are working on group projects).

Trello can also be used to map out the course syllabus and track student progress. Trello templates help set up boards for specific subjects or projects:

Students can also share to-do lists to work together.

I have been using Trello daily for work, home, and (this) website management over the past few years. It helps me stay organized (rather than having lots of crumpled bits of paper in my pockets, which invariably get lost…resulting in missing deadlines!).

13. BookWidgets

BookWidgets is a content creation and evaluation tool for teachers. It allows you to create digital exercises and activities (called widgets), which can be easily shared with your students.

The widget toolbox has over 40 widget types to choose from:

The quiz, video quiz, worksheet, and split worksheet widgets pack extra power – they let you create digital assignments with auto-grading.

The best part about BookWidgets is its seamless integration with Google Classroom. It really saves time because written work can be marked based on keywords. It also has lots of other options to provide instant feedback, so there’s less work marking.

The plan for teachers starts around $10 – worth every penny!

14. Classcraft

Classcraft has me super excited.

It’s a totally nerdy version of a classroom and behavior management reward and sanction system.

It gamifies the classroom experience by allowing students to create avatars and work in groups. Students earn points for following class rules, helping other students, and completing assignments on time.

It basically takes elements from the classroom and turns them into a “World of Warcraft.” Students “play” in teams and gain XP (experience points) for positive behaviors and lose HP (health points) for negative behaviors.

I used this last year when I had a grade 7 tutor group, and it worked wonderfully to increase engagement.

I have included a video from the developers as they can explain it more clearly than I can.

Learning and Assessment Classroom Apps For Teachers

15. freckle.

Freckle is great! It’s an education platform that offers differentiated math and literacy for K-12 students.

It provides a personalized learning experience tailored to individual students’ needs across various subjects, such as Math, Science, English Language Arts (ELA), and Social Studies. It does so by using pre-assessments to determine a student’s skill level and adjusting the resources accordingly.

Edtech leader Renaissance acquired Freckle in May 2019.

Freckle can be used to practice and reinforce ideas, but the platform also contains valuable opportunities for engagement. A click from the dashboard gives access to a host of instructional materials, including videos.

Students can complete activities independently and earn coins in the “piggy store.”

There are a large number of customizable, printable worksheets in many subject areas. It is a great all-around app for use mainly with younger students, in my opinion.

Most of Freckle’s features are free for students. While teachers have access to many features under the free plan, upgrading to a premium plan provides access to unlimited content and reporting, allowing them to pinpoint exactly how to support each student and pair that support with the perfect piece of content.

16. Prodigy

Prodigy helps kids by providing a fun and engaging platform for learning math and English skills. It offers curriculum-aligned games that make learning an adventure.

The platform’s adaptive algorithm tailors educational content to each child’s unique needs, ensuring they progress at their own pace. It also offers insights into students’ progress, motivating them to practice new skills and track development.

I have witnessed entire classes become highly competitive, working at a rapid and thorough pace during quizzes while pitting their intelligence against other classes.

Students need to create an account and provide a parent’s email to sign up. The course is mainly aimed at practice rather than initial instruction and gives excellent feedback for incorrect answers, so it really helps students of all abilities show progress.

It is set in a fantasy world where students encounter monsters to battle (with their English and math skills !). As they defeat the monsters, students earn coins, spells, and other rewards.

It also has the benefit of allowing parents to track their child’s progress.

Educators get free access to Prodigy. For parents, math membership starts at $10 per month, while the basic English plan , which includes the core gameplay features, is free.

17. Evernote

Evernote is essentially a note-taking app.

Students can create organized notebooks for each subject, lecture, or meeting, including text notes, images, audio recordings, and links for comprehensive studying. They can also save and organize research, annotate resources, and gather information from various sources in one place.

Evernote helps teachers streamline communication by syncing notes across devices, ensuring students receive homework assignments and updates efficiently.

The task-list feature helps teachers organize project tasks and monitor student progress effectively.

Teachers can also record narrated instructions for assignments and provide absent students with missed information. The app also allows teachers to collect student reactions to presentations or guest speakers.

It is a great app for teachers and students alike.

18. Pear Assessment (Edulastic)

Pear Assessment (formerly Edulastic) is a versatile tool for formative assessment in K-12 teaching and learning. It allows teachers to check student understanding, collect valuable data on student learning, and modify instruction based on that data.

Real-time student feedback, collaborative learning, and differentiated practice are some features I personally like. It also provides on-demand tutoring, enhancing teacher-student interactions and supporting student mastery.

Like other apps I have mentioned, teachers can share assignments with their students, but as students complete their tasks, teachers can differentiate follow-up instructions on an individual basis.

Pear Assessment has over 10,000 free prebuilt assessments and works seamlessly with Google Classroom and Microsoft apps.

19. Quizalize

Quizalize is a digital assessment tool that helps provide personalized quizzes for students. The quizzes are standards-tagged, allowing teachers to efficiently track mastery data from every question answered.

Teachers can add hints or explanations so students learn as they complete the assessments. It can be used as a pre-assessment tool as well as for formative and summative assessments.

Like the other apps, Quizalize’s personalized quizzes adapt to student’s learning needs. The platform supports official state standards such as Common Core , TEKS , and many more.

Students can also design their own quizzes to challenge classmates, and teachers can share the results of all quizzes with the class (there is a tool to hide anything that identifies the students when doing this).

It contains a multiple-choice mode, surveys, and self-reflection tools.

While Quizalize’s basic plan is free for teachers, its paid plans offer more advanced features and resources.

20. Nearpod

Nearpod offers a comprehensive platform that integrates interactive activities, such as polls , open-ended questions, 3D videos, games, and more. Teachers can access real-time student feedback, enabling immediate intervention and personalized support.

The platform facilitates the creation of fun learning moments through gamification , promoting student motivation and active participation in the learning process.

Like other apps, Nearpod also helps teachers differentiate instruction, understand student needs, and identify areas that require additional support. Teachers can create entire lessons on Nearpod or use one of a huge number of pre-made lessons (some are free, others chargeable).

You can even upload your PowerPoint lessons to Nearpod. The formatting may be a little off this way, but it can easily be rectified in the Nearpod dashboard.

When teaching a Nearpod lesson, you can project the lesson on the screen of all students and play videos on individual screens.

You can take polls or ask questions that students can respond to. The teacher gets all the answers individually and can share model answers on the screen of all students. It can take a little while to prepare, but the benefits far outweigh this minor inconvenience.

Renaissance Learning (which also owns Freckle) acquired Nearpod in February 2021 .

Nearpod’s basic plan is free for teachers , offers 100 MB Storage, 40 students per lesson, and includes core features and functionality.

21. Formative

With Formative , teachers can create (well!) formative assessments that students can complete at their own pace and submit on their devices.

These assessments enable data-driven decisions, provide focused and targeted feedback, and increase student engagement. As a teacher, you can even transform a PDF or Google Doc into a quiz that marks automatically.

It encourages students to become self-regulated learners by providing opportunities to review and correct their work, promoting autonomy and independence.

Formative integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom and can be accessed there without the need to switch between apps. One brilliant feature is that it allows file uploads and embeds video and audio into the assessments.

You can even attach a Quizlet (see review below).

All data from the assessments can be gathered during or after the lessons to inform future lessons and to challenge misconceptions.

Formative’s basic plan is free and includes unlimited lessons, assignments, and assessments. It also supports basic integrations and embeddings. You can create and manage classes and track student progress in real-time.

22. Plickers

Plickers helps teachers collect real-time data without requiring students to technology.

It doesn’t require students to have a device at all!

Plickers uses a unique system of QR code cards and a mobile app, allowing teachers to gather and analyze student responses to multiple-choice questions quickly.

Each student is assigned a unique card with a QR code, which they hold up with a specific letter (A, B, C, or D) facing up to indicate their answer choice. The teacher then scans the room with their smartphone using the Plickers app, which reads and records responses.

Plickers cards have two main features: the black barcode in the middle, the orientation of which tells the scanner which answer to log, and the card number, which allows the scanner to attribute each student’s answer.

When a teacher creates a class on Plickers, each student is given a unique number. The teacher must then give each student their corresponding card number.

There are a maximum of 63 different barcode patterns, meaning it can accommodate a class size of up to 63 students. These cards can be printed for free, or more durable versions can be ordered from Amazon .

Plickers cards are a great way to pre-assess content blocks, check for understanding during lessons, and provide immediate feedback.

Plickers offers essential features for teachers at no cost . This allows you to print cards, create content such as packs, sets, and questions, scan student responses, and access reports and score sheets.

23. Edpuzzle

Edpuzzle allows teachers to create interactive lessons for students using personal or web-based videos (such as YouTube, TedTalks , or Khan Academy ).

Teachers can crop videos and add voiceovers, audio commentaries, and extra resources.

The best part of Edpuzzle is that it allows teachers to insert quizzes into the video. This enables teachers to monitor student engagement with video content and collaborate with other classes.

It seamlessly integrates with Google Classroom and a lot more educational tools:

Edpuzzle is an excellent flipped lesson tool.

The basic plan is free and includes everything teachers need to start with video lessons, including storage space for 20 video lessons.

24. Classkick

Classkick is a whiteboard-type app that allows teachers to monitor students’ work in real time, enabling them to provide individualized feedback and grade work.

Teachers can create a lesson using any subject area content and add links, recordings, videos, and additional text to support learning. As students work through the lesson on their devices, teachers can see thumbnails of their work and provide assistance.

Students can also seek help from peers, even anonymously.

I have seen that Classkick is effective in fostering a supportive learning environment that promotes critical thinking and group-based problem-solving.

Classkick basic plan is free and includes 20 assignments per teacher, a whole-class view, and teacher and peer feedback.

The app was designed by a passionate teacher turned innovator and is an excellent tool for formative assessment.

Quiz Classroom Apps For Teachers

25. quizizz.

Quizizz offers a vast collection of ready-made quizzes for students to take. Teachers and students can also create their own quizzes.

It’s a great app for teachers to assess students’ understanding of a particular topic in a fun and engaging way. The feedback is immediate, enabling students to identify their strengths and areas for improvement.

There is also a homework mode , which allows students to complete a task at their own pace within a deadline. This is ideal for teachers who want to assign homework or use Quizizz in rotation stations, centers, and choice boards. It also reduces worksheet-based homework.

Quizizz comes with unique features such as memes, power-ups, audio, images, and math equations, which makes learning more engaging and fun.

Another great feature is the Quizizz AI (in beta at the time of writing this article), which generates high-quality interactive quizzes in an instant from a text prompt, weblink, YouTube video, or existing resource (.DOC, PDF, PPT)

It can also be launched through Google Classroom , a neat feature.

Quizizz’s basic plan is free and includes limited activities and library access, storage for up to 20 activities, interactive lessons, asynchronous assignments, engaging assessments, and Quizizz AI.

Kahoot runs very similarly to Quizizz. I personally use it. It offers educational quizzes as well as a vast number of fun user-made quizzes.

Kahoot offers a game-based learning experience that creates a dynamic educational environment. Students can answer questions while playing, making learning fun and social.

It is fantastic for formative assessment or just for end-of-term fun. I like to run a quiz in my class but also join it from my phone; this builds a huge level of engagement with all my students trying to beat me.

(Pro Tip: always practice the test at home first so your students have no chance of beating you!)

Gimkit is a supercharged version of Kahoot and Quizziz.

It allows students to take quizzes in a similar fashion to the other two, but unlike Kahoot and Quizizz, students answer questions independently, earning in-game “cash” by answering correctly.

And they must be careful; an incorrect answer will cost!

The quizzes are time-based or are based on the amount of cash earned. Students can reinvest their money by purchasing upgrades & powerups. With millions of combinations, students can make purchases that suit their strengths.

Teachers can create their own “kit” (quiz) or use a Quizlet ; it is VERY easy to set up. Gimkit doesn’t just have to be used in class; you can also assign it as homework.

The free version of Gimkit ( called Gimkit Basic ) is free for teachers. All you need is an educator account. You can play with as many students as you want, set up classes (rostering), and collect reports.

However, the free plan limits the number of game modes you can play. The paid plan is less than $15 a month and, in my opinion, well worth that amount.

28. Quizlet

Quizlet is another quiz app (shocking!) like Quizizz, Kahoot, and Gimkit, but it also has additional built-in tools.

Some salient features include a focus on flashcards, study modes like learn and match, collaborative study tools, and the ability to create custom study sets.

Teachers can make their own resources or use ones already made by other users. You can embed a Quizlet into many other apps, making it a versatile classroom tool.

Quizlet also offers AI-powered tools to create outlines, quizzes, and flashcards from various sources, such as text inputs, files, videos, and Google Docs.

Quizlet is effective because it uses a powerful learning technique known as spaced retrieval .

As with the apps discussed above, Quizlet can be integrated with other apps, making it a very versatile tool for the classroom.

Augmented Reality Classroom Apps For Teachers

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that merges your physical environment with digitally produced information about the object you see through your camera.

AR is transforming K12 education by providing immersive, interactive, and engaging environments that allow students to explore, create, and collaborate in various subjects and contexts.

Possibilities in the classroom are endless.

I’ve tried to describe them in my reviews, but I realized that it was tricky to adequately describe their depth with words alone, so I’ve included some YouTube clips so you can see how these apps work.

29. Photomath

Photomath uses computer vision and augmented reality to scan math equations using a mobile camera. It recognizes both printed and handwritten equations and acts as a digital math tutor.

The app provides step-by-step solutions to problems in elementary math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, and calculus, offering clear explanations and guidance. Photomath can help develop critical thinking skills by providing alternative solution pathways and encouraging students to compare their solutions with those provided by the app.

Teachers can use Photomath as a complementary tool to aid remote learning.

30. Curiscope Virtuali-tee

This one was actually shown to me by one of my class-eight students (whose mum is an anatomy professor at a local university).

As a Science teacher, I find this app super useful in the classroom, but it is also amazing for bringing awe and wonder to younger children.

It has huge learning potential!

You have to buy a Curiscope t-shirt for the app to work, but the cost ($30) far outweighs the benefit.

When you point the camera tool in the app at someone wearing the t-shirt (or the t-shirt on a hanger), you can see an augmented reality projection of the wearer’s internal anatomy!

It also works with the camera in selfie mode to allow your students to look inside their own bodies! It has clickable parts in the images with audio and video that describe the functions of different organs.

There’s also the option to explore with a VR headset, but this doesn’t work in selfie mode, and it might be a challenge to persuade a friend to stand still for a long time unless you’ve both got t-shirts and headsets.

Curiscope also offers Multiverse Posters that come to life when scanned with the app. These posters look great on walls, both framed and unframed. Better yet, for every poster sold, a tree is planted!

31. Doink Green Screen

For years, we’ve seen green screen technology used in films and TV shows. Doink Green Screen gives you the same experience in your classroom!

The possibilities are endless!

You don’t need expensive equipment or a dedicated green screen studio. Just the app and maybe a green curtain or plastic tablecloth (from a dollar/pound shop).

Put yourself or your students into space, at famous monuments or buildings around the world, or even undersea!

32. Thinglink

Thinglink makes it easy to augment images, videos, and virtual tours with additional information and links.

Teachers can use it to create audiovisual learning materials that are accessible using an integrated reading tool that reads all text descriptions in image or video hotspots in over 60 languages.

It helps students become fluent in using multiple forms of media to express themselves inside and outside the classroom. They can create infographics, graphic organizers, interactive digital posters, digital storybooks, and timelines, making it an ideal tool for inquiry-based classrooms.

These digital creations can be shared on social media, linked, or embedded into a web page.

Thinglink’s plan for individual teachers costs $60 a year and supports creating and sharing interactive images, videos & 360°/VR images for use within the LMS or classroom environments.

33. Apple Clips

Whenever there’s an opportunity for new technology ideas, you’ll inevitably find an Apple product. While Apple Clips isn’t strictly an augmented reality app, it’s quite similar!

It allows users to create and share videos with Memoji and AR effects. The latest version allows users to record and share videos with magical effects powered by the LiDAR Scanner ( requires Pro Models of iPhone and iPad)

Apple Clips has many possible uses in the classroom. Students and teachers can overlay information, visuals, and other content into the real world to provide context that enhances learning and builds understanding.

I find them great for flipped learning and introducing a lesson. They’re also great for student project presentation work.

34. Assemblr EDU

Assemblr EDU empowers students to create and explore AR projects on topics such as ocean animals, planets, symmetry, fractions, and exercise techniques. It can support a variety of learning objectives and subjects, including language arts, science, and math.  

For example, students can use the tool to create interactive stories, explore 3D models of planets and animals, and practice math concepts through AR experiences.

Students can access the basic plan for free , which provides access to 400 3D objects. Premium plans start at $3 per month (school can subscribe at $1)

Quiver is an augmented reality app that combines physical coloring activities with modern technology to create an interactive and engaging learning experience for students.

The app uses coloring pages as triggers, allowing students to bring their creations to life in 3D and interact with various educational content, such as cells, the solar system, and geometry.

With Quiver, learning goes beyond traditional textbooks, making it more immersive and enjoyable. The app offers a range of coloring pages and educational content that is updated regularly, ensuring a diverse and enriching experience for students of all ages.

Quiver subscriptions vary from country to country, depending on localization. Prices can be checked on the app ( Google Play Store and Apple App Store )

Which Educational Apps To Use?

I’m sure this gave you some good ideas about which educational apps to use for your lessons. From the research I’ve conducted for this blog, I know I will be trying some new ones this year, and I’m excited to do so.

Do you know any better ones?

After creating a class, you can add specific assignments, questions, materials, and topics to it. All this content appears in a stream that your students can easily access. Google Classroom also integrates with Google Drive, so you can upload assignments, grades, and photos to the class folder.

Download: Google Classroom for Android | iOS (Free)

4. Planboard

Looking for an easier way to plan lessons? Check out Planboard, the lesson planning app you can use on-the-go. Keep track of your class schedule by adding classes to your calendar, and set curriculum standards for each of your classes. If you want to save time and effort, you can search Planboard's library of official standards instead.

The app also lets you upload files and photos to your lesson plans, as well as share those plans. Planboard syncs all your data to the web, so you can view your plans from your computer.

Download: Planboard for Android | iOS (Free)

5. Seesaw Class

Seesaw Class is one of the most popular education apps, as it's used in over 200,000 classrooms. It's a great way to plan activities in any subject, for any age.

When you create a class, you can browse the app's Activity Library . Enter your class's subject and grade from the dropdown menu, and you'll see activities that your fellow teachers created. If you want to create your own activities, you can share them with the Seesaw Class community as well.

Seesaw Class allows you to send announcements to students and parents—that way, families can gain insight on their child's education. While you could use team communication apps like Slack to send updates, keeping both your messages and student progress in one app will help you stay organized.

You can also use Seesaw Class to track students' progress in specific areas, but that's only available in the premium version.

Download: Seesaw Class for Android | iOS (Free, subscription available)

Keeping track of student attendance and grades on paper isn't always the most reliable. The grid-style grade books aren't easy on the eyes, and there's always a chance that you might spill coffee all over your papers. Instead of penciling in grades and attendance records, you should try using the TrackCC app instead.

TrackCC lets you keep track of student attendance with the click of a button. You can check the students off if they're present, input an excused or unexcused absence, mark tardiness, and note if a student left early. The app also calculates attendance statistics so you can get a better idea of each student's attendance rate.

TrackCC supports grading as well. Add grades for homework assignments, quizzes, exams, or projects, and view the statistics and overall grade for each student from the app. In addition to all these helpful features, TrackCC lets you connect parents to send them attendance notifications.

Download: TrackCC for Android | iOS (Free)

Kahoot engages your classroom with fun and educational games, making it one of the best classroom apps for students. You can create your own quizzes or "Kahoots" by developing your own questions and adding pictures. As soon as your quiz is ready, you'll receive a custom game PIN that you give to your students. From there, students type the PIN into the app on their own device and can start playing.

If you're short on time, search Kahoot for games made by other educators. You can also use Kahoot for homework—assign your students a Kahoot instead of having them fill out a quiz on paper.

Whether you create your own games or not, Kahoot can help capture your students' attention and make learning fun. Consider supplementing Kahoot with subject-specific educational apps for even better results.

Download: Kahoot for Android | iOS (Free, subscription available)

Technology Belongs in the Classroom

Since the new generation of students loves playing on smartphones and tablets, using teacher apps in the classroom can allow you to establish a better connection with your students. Technology can help you and your students stay organized, and also allows for quick communication with your students' parents.

-It makes students more responsible. When students complete their homework daily, they understand that they must finish it. As a result, they become more responsible as individuals.

Sat / act prep online guides and tips, the 5 best homework help apps you can use.

General Education

We know that homework can be a real drag. It’s time-consuming, and can be difficult to complete all on your own. So, what can you do if you’re struggling?

You might try looking online or in the app store! If you’ve already looked around you probably know that there are tons of homework sites for students and homework apps out there that all say they can help you improve your grades and pass your classes. But, can you trust them? And what are the best apps for homework help?

Below, we answer these questions and more about homework help apps–free and paid . We’ll go over: 

• The basics of homework help apps
• The cost of homework help apps
• The five best apps for homework help
• The pros and cons of using apps that help you with homework 
• The line between “learning” and “cheating” when using apps that help you with homework
• Tips for getting the most out of homework sites for students 

So let’s jump in!

The Basics About Apps that Help You With Homework–Free and Paid

The bottom line is, homework sites and homework apps are intended to help you complete your take-home assignments successfully. They provide assistance that ranges from answering questions you submit through a portal all the way to one-on-one tutoring, depending on the help you need! 

The big plus for both homework help apps and websites is that they usually offer help on-demand. So if you can’t make it to after school tutoring, or if you're studying late into the night (it happens!), you can still access the help you need! 

If you’re specifically looking for an answer to the question: “what is the best homework help website ?,” you can check out our article on those here! [LINK COMING SOON]

What’s the Difference Between a Homework Help Website and an App?

So if they’re both designed to give you a little boost with your take-home assignments, what makes homework apps and websites different from one another? First off, homework help websites are optimized to be used on a desktop, while apps are designed to be run natively on mobile devices. So depending on which devices you have access to, you may decide to use a website instead of an app…or vice versa! 

The other big difference between homework help apps and websites is that they sometimes offer different features. For instance, with the Photomath app, you’ll be able to submit photos of math problems instead of having to type everything out, which is easier to do by using an app on your phone. 

If you’re trying to decide whether to go with a website or app, the good news is that you may not have to. Some homework help websites also have companion apps, so you can have the best of both worlds!

What Makes a Homework Help App Worth Using

Apps that help you with homework should ideally help you actually learn the material you’re struggling with, and/or help you turn in your work on time. Most of the best apps for homework help allow you to ask questions and provide answers and explanations almost immediately. And like we mentioned earlier, many of these apps let you send a picture of a question or problem instead of writing it all out.

But homework help apps offer more than just quick answers and explanations for your assignment questions. They also offer things like educational videos, lectures, tutorials, practice tests and quizzes, math solving tools, proofreading services, and even Q&A with experts.

And the best part is, most offer these services 24/7! 

What You Should Look Out For

When it comes to homework help, there are lots–and we mean lots –of apps willing to prey on desperate students. Before you download any apps (and especially before you pay to sign up for any services), read reviews of the app to ensure you’re working with a legitimate company. 

Keep in mind: the more a company advertises help that seems like cheating, the more likely it is to be a scam. Actual subject matter experts aren’t likely to work with those companies. Remember, the best apps for homework help are going to help you learn the concepts needed to successfully complete your homework on your own. 

If you’re not sure if an app is legitimate, you can also check to see if the app has an honor code about using their services ethically , like this one from Brainly. (We’ll go over the difference between “homework help” and “cheating” in more detail a little later!) 

How Expensive Are Apps That Help You With Homework?

A word to the wise: just because a homework help app costs money doesn’t mean it’s a good service. And, just because a homework help app is free doesn’t mean the help isn’t high quality. To find the best apps, you have to take a close look at the quality and types of information they provide! 

Most of the apps out there allow you to download them for free, and provide at least some free services–such as a couple of free questions and answers. Additional services or subscriptions are then charged as in-app purchases. When it comes to in-app purchases and subscriptions for homework help, the prices vary depending on the amount of services you want to subscribe to. Subscriptions can cost anywhere from $2 to around $60 dollars per month, with the most expensive app subscriptions including some tutoring (which is usually only available through homework help websites.)

The 5 Best Apps for Homework Help

Okay, now that you’re up to speed on what these apps are and how they can help you, we’ll run you through the best five apps you can use. 

Keep in mind that even though we recommend all of these apps, they tend to excel at different things. We’ve broken these apps into categories so that you can pick the best one for your needs! 

Best Free Homework Help App: Khan Academy

• Price: Free!
• Best for: Practicing tough material 

While there are lots of free homework help apps out there, this is our favorite because it actually supports learning, rather than just providing answers. The Khan Academy app works like the website, and offers the same services. It’s full of information and can be personalized to suit your educational needs. 

After you download the app, you choose which courses you need to study, and Khan Academy sets up a personal dashboard of instructional videos, practice exercises, and quizzes –with both correct and incorrect answer explanations–so you can learn at your own pace. 

As an added bonus, it covers more course topics than many other homework help apps, including several AP classes.

Best Paid Homework Help App: Brainly

• Price: $18 for a 6 month subscription, $24 for a year 
• Best for: 24/7 homework assistance 

Brainly is free to download and allows you to type in questions (or snap a pic) and get answers and explanations from both fellow students and teachers. Plus, subject matter experts and moderators verify answers daily, so you know you’re getting quality solutions! The downside is that you’re limited to two free answers per question and have to watch ads for more if you don’t pay for a subscription. 

That said, their subscription fees average around only $2 per month, making this a particularly affordable option if you’re looking for homework help on a budget. Brainly subscriptions not only cover unlimited answers and explanations on a wide variety of school subjects (including Art and World Languages which aren’t always included in other apps), they also provide tutoring in Math and Physics!

Best App for Math Homework Help: Photomath

• Price: Free (or up to $59.99 per year for premium services) 
• Best for: Explaining solutions to math problems

This app allows you to take a picture of a math problem, and instantly pulls up a step-by-step solution, as well as a detailed explanation of the concept. Photomath subscription services also include animated videos that break down mathematical concepts–all the way up to advanced Calculus!--to help you better understand and remember them. 

The basic textbook solution service is free, but for an additional fee you can get extra study tools, access to one-on-one tutoring, and additional strategies for solving common math problems.

Best App for STEM and English Homework Help: Studypool

• Price: Varies; you’ll pay for each question you submit
• Best for: Science and English homework help in one app

When it comes to apps for science and English homework help, there aren’t lots of great resources out there, much less out there all in one place. While Grammarly is a good service for proofreading, SparkNotes has some decent summaries, and Khan Academy covers science, the best of the bunch if you need help with both subjects Studypool. Instead of using lots of different apps for STEM and English help, they’re combined together here! But while Studypool has great reviews, there are some downsides as well. 

The Studypool Q&A model is a little different than other homework help apps. After you create a free account, you ask questions, and tutors submit bids to answer them. You’ll be able to select the tutor–and price point–that works for you, then you’ll pay to have your homework question answered. You can also pay a small fee to access thousands of notes, lectures, and other documents that top tutors have uploaded.  

The downside to Studypool is that the pricing is not transparent . There’s no way to plan for how much your homework help will cost, especially if you have lots of questions! It’s also not clear how they choose their tutors, so you’ll need to be careful when you decide who you’d like to answer your homework questions. That said, if you only need a few questions answered per month, this could be cheaper than other monthly subscription services.

Best Homework Scheduling App: MyStudyLife

• Best for: Keeping track of your schedule and deadlines

If the reason you’re looking for homework help is less about finding answers to questions and more about needing assistance with organization and time-management , MyStudyLife is a great option. This is a cross-platform planner that allows you to store your class schedule, upcoming tests, and homework assignments in the cloud so you can access it all wherever you are, and on any device. 

One of the unique things about it is that it easily works for daily or weekly rotating class schedules that can get confusing, helping you keep track of when you need to finish your homework based on your changing schedule. You can get reminders for upcoming classes and assignments as well as past-due homework and any revisions you may need to do. It can even let you know when you need to start studying for a big test!

Best of all, you can actually schedule assignments and study sessions for multiple nights, and specify how much of the task you got done each night. That way you’ll know how much additional time you’ll need to spend! 

While homework apps might seem like magic, it's important to weigh the pros and cons before you commit to one. 

What Are the Pros and Cons of Using Homework Help Apps?

Homework help apps can be useful tools if you’re struggling in any of your classes. But there are a few problems you might run into if you don’t use them ethically and responsibly. 

Below we’ll cover some of the good and the not-so-good parts of using homework help apps to complete your take-home assignments.

3 Pros of Using Homework Help Apps

Let’s start with the pros of using apps for homework help.

Pro 1: All-Around Better Grades

This is undeniably the main pro and the reason apps that help you with homework are so popular with students. Not only can you potentially get better grades on individual assignments, because they help you learn tricky concepts, you can also earn better grades overall .

Just keep in mind that if you want better grades you have to actually learn the material you’re studying, not just find easy answers. So be sure to use apps that provide good explanations . That way you’ll have the mental tools you need to succeed on your class exams and on standardized tests for college. 

Pro 2: Flexibility

It’s hard to beat homework help that you can access anywhere you are from your mobile device. You can also get assistance whenever you need it since the best apps offer their services 24/7. This is especially useful for students who need to study during hours when their free school resources aren’t available because of extracurriculars, jobs, or family obligations. 

If you need convenient and flexible homework help or tutoring services to fit your schedule, apps can be your go-to resource. 

Pro 3: Individualized Learning

Sometimes the kind of learner you are doesn’t match your teacher’s style of teaching. Or maybe the pace of a class is a little too fast or too slow for your tastes. Homework apps can help by allowing you to learn at your own speed and in ways that support your own learning style. 

You can use their features, such as educational videos, 24/7 conversations with experts and peers, and tutorials to review concepts you may have forgotten. These apps can also let you dive deeper into topics or subjects you enjoy! With homework help apps, you get to choose what you need to learn and how you learn it.

3 Cons of Using Homework Help Apps

Next, let’s look at the cons of homework help apps. 

Con 1: Questionable Info 

Unfortunately there are lots of less-than-reliable homework help apps out there. They might not hire actual experts in their fields to provide answers and create study tools, or they rely on user-submitted answers that they don’t verify. In those cases, you might not be getting the accurate, thorough, and up-to-date answers you need to really learn.

In addition to the possibility of running into plain-old wrong answers, even the best apps sometimes just won’t have a specific answer you need. This could be because you’re enrolled in an advanced class the app doesn’t really cover or because of the algorithm or chatbot a particular app uses. 

If that’s the case , your best bet will likely be to talk to your teacher or a free tutor (if your school provides them) to get help answering your question.

Con 2: Information Overload

While having tons of information at your fingertips can be helpful, the sheer amount and variety of videos, tutorials, expert answers, and resources a homework app provides can be overwhelming . It’s also easy to get sucked into a research rabbit-hole where you learn new things but don’t actually get your work done. This is especially true for students who tend to be easily distracted.

Additionally, you may be learning to do things differently than you’ve learned them in class , which could cause problems. For example, if your math teacher asks you to solve a problem one way, but you learned to do it differently through an app, you could get confused come test time! 

Con 3: Cutting Corners

There are a lot of apps out there that bill themselves as “the best app for cheating.” They allow users to type in a question or take a picture, then instantly provide an answer without any explanation of the material. Many of these are scams or provide unreliable answers, but not all. Some apps are legitimate and provide quick and easy answers that could allow you to do your whole homework assignment in minutes. 

The problem is that even though taking shortcuts on homework to save time is tempting, it can keep you from really learning. The point of practicing concepts and skills is so you develop them and can access them whenever you need to. This is especially true if skills build on one another, like in a math or English class. 

Sometimes s truggling with an assignment or question, trying, failing, then trying again until you succeed can help you learn difficult material. If you don’t let yourself really try, and instead take too many shortcuts, you may end up behind.

When Does “Help” Become “Cheating”?

When it comes to using homework help apps, sometimes the difference between “help” and “cheating” is really clear. For example, if you’re using an app to get answers while you’re taking a test, that’s definitely cheating . But what if you’re struggling with a math problem and need to know the correct answer so you can work backwards to learn the process? Is that “cheating” or is it “help?” 

The truth is, not everyone agrees on when “help” crosses the line into “cheating .” If you’re not sure, you can always check with your teacher to see what they think about a particular type of help you want to get. That said, a general rule of thumb to keep in mind is to make sure that the assignment you turn in for credit is authentically yours . It needs to demonstrate your own thoughts and your own current abilities. Remember: the point of every homework assignment is to 1) help you learn something, and 2) show what you’ve learned. 

So if you’re relying on an app to do all of the work for you, there’s a good chance using it might constitute cheating. 

Think of it this way: say you’re studying for an upcoming math test, and are stumped by a few of the questions on the study guide. Even though you’ve tried and tried, you can’t seem to get the right answer because you can’t remember the steps to take. Using an app to explain the steps as you’re studying is “help.” Using the app to get answers so you can make a good homework grade is “cheating.” 

The same is true for other subjects: brainstorming essay ideas with others or looking online for inspiration is “help” as long as you write the essay yourself. Having someone read it and give you feedback about what you need to change is also “help,” provided you’re the one that makes the changes later. 

But copying all or part of an essay you find online or having someone write (or rewrite) the whole thing for you would be “cheating.” Ultimately, if you’re not generating your own work or learning to produce your own answers, it’s probably cheating. 

5 Tips for Finding the Best Homework Help App for You

If you’re serious about using a homework help app, our expert tips can help you pick one that’s right for you and your budget!

#1: Decide What Tools You Need to Succeed 

While most apps offer Q&A services, the best apps provide study tools to help you learn the material you need to learn . 

For instance, if you’re a visual learner, you might need an app that provides lots of videos. If you learn best by reading, an app that provides lots of in-depth written resources might be better for you. Or, if you learn best by actually doing things, look for an app that provides practice tests and quizzes, along with explanations for correct and incorrect answers.

Before committing to an app, take a quick survey of the tools they offer users to make sure they meet your unique learning needs. 

#2: Decide Which Subjects You Need to Study

Not all homework apps are created equal. One might provide tutoring in math and science, but no proofreading services to help you with writing. Another might be perfect for American History, but what you really need help with is your Spanish class. So, before you can decide which app is best for you, make sure to create a list of the subjects you need the most help in.

#3: Do Your Research

As we’ve said before, there are tons of homework apps in the app store to choose from, and the most important thing you can do is research what they offer students. Services, prices for those services, and subjects that the apps cover all vary, so it’s important that you look into your options. We’ve compiled our all-around favorite (and reliable) apps here, but it’s still a good idea to do your own research to find out what might meet your individual needs best.

#4: Learn Why People Like and Dislike the App

Maybe you’ve heard the phrase “buyer beware?” It means that the person buying something should check for quality before actually handing over their money. This applies to both free and paid homework apps, but especially those that actually cost money.

Before you download anything, be sure to read the user reviews . While all apps will have both positive and negative reviews, you want to look for one that has more positive than negative. And if you’re considering paying for a service, be sure that users think it’s worth the price overall!

#5: Budget Yourself

If you find a paid app that provides the learning tools you need, covers the subjects you need to study, and that has good reviews overall, set a budget to pay for it before you hit that “install” button. The costs for paid homework apps vary, and especially if you’re using one that requires you to pay for individual questions or services, the prices can add up quickly. So make sure there’s money for it in your budget before you commit!

The 6 Best Homework Apps to Help Students (and Parents)

These apps won't do all the work for them

• New York Institute of Technology
• The Ultimate Guide to Parental Controls

Getting homework done can be difficult. While the information might make sense in the classroom , some students don't retain that knowledge. When your child needs extra help, there are apps to help with homework. These solutions help both students and parents succeed.

The apps in this article are free to download, and some may include in-app purchases .

Easy to use with over 30 languages to learn.

ESL courses to strengthen English skills.

The interface can be clunky at times.

It has a limited vocabulary.

This popular language-learning app sits at the top of both the iOS and Android app stores as an excellent solution to strengthen foreign language skills. Whether your child wants to learn outside of their curriculum or wishes to practice what they learned in class, Duolingo is an excellent addition to any digital device.

With over thirty languages to choose, your child can practice German, Italian, Spanish, French, or dozens of other languages. If your student is currently enrolled in ESL courses, they can strengthen their English skills from the bottom-up.

Unlike other language learning solutions that focus on memorizing vocabulary, Duolingo uses a combination of reading, writing, and speaking exercises to create a more natural learning experience.

Download For :

It's great for helping math students who fall behind.

The built-in calculator allows for smart, on-the-fly calculations and 2D graph plotting.

It's somewhat limited depth. Wrong answers don't provide much room for learning why an answer is incorrect.

Mathematics can be one of the most challenging courses for students, with complicated steps that are quickly forgotten after a long school day. Especially challenging is that many parents struggle to help their children with subject matter that they haven't been acquainted with for years. Photomath is an excellent solution for struggling mathematicians.

Children can scan complex or simple math problems, learning how to solve them with step-by-step instructions. A built-in calculator improves the experience, allowing for smart, on-the-fly calculations and 2D graph plotting abilities. Linear equations, logarithms, trigonometry, functions, and basic algebraic expressions are only a few of Photomath's vast capabilities.

Great music learning app with tools for learning and practicing guitar, bass, piano, and more.

Voice-overs and instructional design lack the human touch that helps when learning an instrument.

One school subject that is sadly overlooked is music. Music is an area of study that has been proven to increase a child's language and reasoning skills, fine-tune their motor skills, and decrease stress levels. So, if your child is trying to learn a musical instrument and struggling, consider investing in Yousician. This app allows students to practice guitar, bass, piano, or ukulele.

Students can practice their instruments along with the charts and diagrams that display on the screen. They'll receive real-time feedback when they miss a note or fall out of tune. Included step-by-step video tutorials are available to show your child how to be proficient in a specific skill set. Practicing an instrument has never seemed so natural. With different genres of music available, your child can quickly sort out their favorites.

Khan Academy

A range of subjects, from kindergarten mathematics to advanced placement physics.

More than 150,000 interactive exercises.

There's not much room for creativity, collaboration, or alternative teaching styles.

Ready to increase your knowledge in math, science, computing, history, economics, and more? Whether as an educational tool for your child, or an extra app for a parent to enjoy in their free time, everyone can use Khan Academy to unlock a world of education. Children can practice anything from kindergarten mathematics to advanced placement physics. Quickly access a collection of portable courses on-the-go or on your computer.

The Khan Academy app offers over 150,000 interactive exercises to strengthen old or new skills. Additionally, you can download content for offline study so that you have access to it no matter where you are. Parents wishing to learn something new can jump into advanced high school courses or enjoy courses on entrepreneurship and career-building. Khan Academy offers solutions for all ages and skill ranges.

Quizlet Flashcards

A digital flashcard mobile platform that's suitable for all ages.

The focus on memorization is ideal for studying.

The ad-supported platform may be distracting.

User-generated content means some content may be inaccurate.

Do you remember studying for exams and creating piles of flashcards to memorize facts and details? While flashcards can be an excellent method for analyzing new material, they use a large amount of paper that is eventually thrown in the trash. Learn new topics while also saving trees with the Quizlet Flashcards application. Study from existing flashcard sets or create your own.

Quizlet digital flashcards allow students of all ages to practice and excel at various topics using their smartphones. In addition to basic flashcards, Quizlet offers multiple modes to encourage different methods of memorization. If your child attends the same class as another student using Quizlet, the two can share flashcards. Those who use the app to study foreign languages can hear keywords spoken to them in over 18 languages.

PowerSchool

Allows parents and guardians to keep tabs on their child's education.

Access classroom handouts, attendance records, school bulletins, and more.

The complicated interface makes for a rather steep learning curve.

Here's an app that both children and parents can enjoy: PowerSchool Mobile. Many school districts use the PowerSchool system to manage grades and reports. If your child's school is a participant, you can use the mobile app to keep a close eye on your child's educational progress. Depending on how a teacher chooses to use the tool in their classroom, you may also have access to handouts, attendance records, school bulletins, and more.

While not every school offers support for the PowerSchool Mobile application, it is worth checking with your child's teacher to see if the option is available. Sorry kids, but it isn't possible to hide report cards with the PowerSchool app. Parents can manage what push and email notifications they receive from the child's school. You'll become more involved and aware of your child's school performance with this simple mobile app.

Top Teacher-Parent Communication Apps for Schools in 2023-2024

So many ways to stay in touch!

It’s important for schools and teachers to be able to stay in touch with families, and these days they have more options than ever. A teacher-parent communication app allow teachers to reach out without revealing their personal phone numbers . It also makes it easy to share work and progress, send home reminders, and more. New apps pop up on a regular basis, giving teachers and schools plenty to choose from. Here’s how to get started.

How To Choose a Teacher-Parent Communication App in 2023-2024

With so many options on the market, it can be hard to decide which app is right for you. Here are some factors to consider:

• Features: Do you just want a straightforward app for sending and receiving messages? Or would you benefit from additional features like translation, tracking, payment processing, and more?
• Price: Some apps are free for all. Others are free for parents and students, but schools must pay to enroll. While there are high-quality free parent communication apps, schools may benefit from enrolling in a more comprehensive program.
• Accessibility: Whichever app you choose, ensure parents can access it in a variety of ways, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

How To Use a Teacher-Parent Communication App

Once you’ve chosen an app, you’ll want to use it effectively. Try these tips:

• Simplify: Consider choosing one standard comprehensive communication app for your school or district, so parents don’t need separate apps for messaging, behavior reports, sign-ups, and other activities .
• Communicate regularly: So many parents are used to hearing from schools only when something has gone wrong. Flip the script and send regular useful messages home, so families welcome your communications.
• Don’t over-communicate: On the other hand, if you send messages too often, parents will start to ignore them. Keep your communications concise and useful.
• Respond promptly: When parents take time to reach out, try to respond within 24 hours. However, don’t wear yourself out answering messages all evening or on weekends.
